Tea Party rages on - Cuomo could lose NY Governor race

[^_^ 5,021]

Cuomo was supposed to be unbeatable...

Republican Carl Paladino, aided by a 4 -1 margin among Tea Partiers, trails New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic candidate for Governor, 49 - 43 percent among likely voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Only 18 percent of New York State likely voters consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement, but they back Paladino 77 - 18 percent.

Cuomo leads 87 - 8 percent among Democrats while Paladino leads 83 - 13 percent among Republicans and 49 - 43 percent among independent voters, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University survey, conducted by live interviewers, finds. This first likely voter general election survey in New York in this election cycle can not be compared with earlier surveys of registered voters.

Beautiful - the tide is turning against the Republican-Democrat regime even in traditionally liberal

strongholds like New York.

I thought we were told this could never happen, that the Tea Party movement was a fringe group

of racists, homophobes and extremists hiding behind economic concerns?

When a Cuomo is denied his Office........ man, that is like pulling the throne out from underneath him.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Paladino is a nut case. NY doesn't have enough issues?

Can he read braille?

Paladino is a nut case. NY doesn't have enough issues?

But not a Republican-Democrat regimer.

Why is he a nut case?

Sure. But his 4% will not go to Coumo.

I'd love to see a non-majority of either party in the house or Senate. I doubt it, but it may be time the kool-aid drinkers on both sides come out of their stupor

I didn't say it will. But, I also find it hard to see how a Cuomo loses New York State as long as the base in NYC holds. And I do believe the base in NYC is holding.

Did you find it hard to believe Martha...whatever her name was (see what happened?) would lose the Senate seat in Mass?
