Paladino for Governor?

Only the far right crazies of the tea party would nominate a candidate with even less polish and class than Chris "I put my foot in my mouth again" Collins.

That would make things extremely interesting if Carl ran for governor of New York State.

I did not realize that Paladino believed the President was born in Kenya.

Blackrocklifer - your liberal propaganda makes me want to puke. Every single time any conservative subject of any kind comes up there you are with some ridiculous comment.

Rite Aid stores for everybody!

A Teabagger candidate? Carl Paladino? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

He has my vote. Both sides of the political arena are over-run with self serving scum, selfish ba$tards only looking out for themselves, and their fellow political scum, leaving the public to deal with all the garbage. Its really just a reflection of the nation as a whole. Our National Debt has been run up to 12 Trillion dollars, that's over 100k per taxpayer in the US. If you want a real eye opener take a look.

Absolutely ridiculous. This proves that Paladino is more ego than sense. He could have used his money to support a young, reasonable conservative (there must be some). Instead, the image of a WNY Tea Party will be Rus Thompson and Carl Paladino, two grizzled inarticulate white guys.

When will Antoine Thompson throw his hat in the ring for the Democritical primaries? Thompson and Palladino will represent us well to downstate!

Love him or hate him, at least he's a straight shooter who'll tell you exactly what his position is on a topic, you'll get none of the mumbo jumbo commonly dished out by the double speaking "bow to the party" we are subjected to by the political bozos who now run the shambles called NY State. Maybe Mr. Collins bowed out because he had the inside scoop on Carl's wish to throw his hat into the circus! GO CARL

Palladino would be an excellent advisor, but not a governor. He is very intelligent and has great, innovative ideas and says things that people like Byron Brown won't becuase they care more about votes than progress (story of NY govt as well as that disaster people refer to as Obama).

I would love to see his influence projected on a larger scale, but I wouldn't vote for him.

At the end of the day, we as citizens have to get out from behind our computers and message boards and do something about it.

So Mr. Blackrocklifer.....

Just think of all the Fox -- the most trusted name in news -- coverage Mr. Paladino will receive. I look forward to live televised debates on C-Span because it will make for a great drinking game on every bleeped word that he utters.

Hmmmm how will this help the Greystone get renovated? How about the Arctic Freezer? Will it get the grass cut and snow shoveled on all the vacant corner lots that Carl owns (Michigan/Best, Niagara/Maryland and about 300 others...)

Remember when the geniuses (i.e. Ellicott Dev. crews) 'fixing' the Greystone roof put a Bobcat up there and it plunged through the roof nearly killing the employee? That kind of aplomb may help in Albany ... not.

Actually, come to think of it, can you imagine bottling the frenetic energy coming from a strategy meeting of Carl and Pigeon? Maybe they can both end up in Albany, canoodling down the Hudson, going to NYC, going to the shows together, just having a grand ole' time....forever together...

"Was I not clear enough for you" NORPARK: What is puff puff pass? I am keeping track of all your strange comments to me, so, again, what is puff puff pass.

Are you by any definition a creep, NorPark?

So awesome! Paladino for Governor! He'll tear Albany apart - exactly what it needs. He has my vote. A vote for Carl is a vote for change.

If Golisano couldnt break the downstate lock on the governorship, lt governorship, senate leader and assembly leader then Paladino will not either.

I would be much more interested in Paladino for Mayor or County Executive where he could actually take on the downstate dominated albany machine of Buffalo and Erie/Niagara Counties

let the Bush thing go people...It's Obama's economy now...get over it..
Obama=GIANT FAIL

to think that were speculating over a developer who thinks rite aids on every corner for Governor just shows how screwed this city is we beg for innovation out of out leaders but we cant even wrap our heads around real innovators. Palidino loves his money, and whatever will make him the most of it in the short term(i.e. Rite Aid). To think he has the foresight to fix this state in the way it needs to be fixed is a fools hope. All Palidino would do in the governor seat is make a lot of headlines and even more enemies which is not something you want when we need progress and things to get passed. (i.e. Obamma and his failed attempt to push a democratic health care bill)

Basically we will vote again for another politician who will continue the status quo into the mess that were in

He might need to take a Dale Carnegie Course before he starts campaigning. Hopefully he doesn't use any of his own $$ to run. I'd rather it go back into buffalo buildings rather than consultants.

He has my vote if he runs as a Republican!!

BINISZKIEWICZ: It's no wonder that, until you explained, I had no idea what "puff puff pass" meant!
.
As far as "connect(ing) the dots", this is one of the ways it works (when you know that many more people read at 'Net spots like this one than are register):
.
I read back and found your comment because someeone else realized that I did not find your response. So, I came back here at BR and "doubled back on the dots" to find that you had answered me! TY.
.
And, as far as online spots like this BR, it is always to wonder how often one person registers with more than one e-address affording more than one username at any online log or site...
.
There is a great deal said here at BR that only the BR in-crowd comprehends. So, I gotta tell ya, I am flattered to read that anyone here wonders what I meant, my not being in with the BR in-crowd! Again, TY.
.
(If anyone cares to) NOTE: I check back on my comments, so, wouldn't it make more sense to ask than run to creepy? I'm sure BR doesn't mind the additional hits asking commonsensibly would create...
