A Quinnipac University poll shows Rick Lazio leading Carl Paladino by 12 points, with less than two weeks until primary day.
It seems Paladino's supporters, who include New York Tea Party members, are more fired up and likely to come out and vote. I think Paladino might edge Lazio, who hasn't caught fire, narrowly.

After succeeding in extending Term Limits to three terms, independent Michael Bloomberg sought the Republican Party ballot line so his name would be placed second on the voter ballot. Many Republican clubs from district to young republican organizations stepped forward and demanded that the party run a registered Republican. If this had happened, the mayor still would have been on a Party with ballot status, since the Independence Party had already thrown its support behind him. The scenario that many hoped was a three-way race with Thompson having column’s A & E [Democrat & Working Families], a Republican having columns B & D [Republican & Conservative] and Bloomberg running on column C [Independence] & an independently created “F” line. Such a ballot would have been interesting and exciting as it would have thrown an interesting curve in what we normally know as our “two-party” system. In the end, the county organizations caved in to politics and the mayor got the Republican line and won re-election.
Though this scenario didn’t happen for a citywide seat, it seems to have developed in a little known Assembly District in Queens. Known as the “Forrest Hills” district, Assembly District Twenty-Eight has about a 3 Democrat to 1 Republican ratio with Democrats making up 55% of the voting base. When it comes to New York City drawn districts for Assembly, this is considered favorable for a Republican.

under the byline of Michael Howard Saul:
"The New York State Independence Party promised last month the immediate return of money allegedly stolen from Mayor Michael Bloomberg by a volunteer on his 2009 re-election campaign, but as of Monday afternoon Manhattan prosecutors had not received a dime.
More than six weeks ago, the party removed hundreds of thousands of dollars from its housekeeping account and forwarded it to the party's attorney, Vincent Messina, so that it could be "returned immediately," the party's chairman, Frank MacKay, told The Wall Street Journal.
Records filed with the New York State Board of Elections showed the party sent $260,000 to Mr. Messina on July 15, tens of thousands of dollars less than what Manhattan prosecutors have demanded be returned.
Mr. Messina confirmed Monday afternoon that he still has the money in his possession...
The "constitutionalist" tries to suppress free speech…"Madman" Mele off of his meds…where is the money coming from to fill up his RV's gas tank….
Once again Anthony Mele is keeping Rockland County interesting. With the amount of "meltdowns" he has been having lately, one would wonder if Mr. Mele has run out of his meds. The latest incident to haunt Mr. Mele is his grocery store meltdown. After seeing one of York Kleinhanlder's supporters talking to the public, Mr. Mele went on the attack. With his gas-guzzling, circus-show RV emblazoned with his cult of personality sized picture of himself in the background (to ensure everyone knew who the madman was) he launched into a verbal attack on Kleinhandler's supporter. Witnesses report Mr. Mele yelling at Kleinhandler's supporter and demanding that Kleinhandler come to the store parking lot and debate him. Mr. Mele was obviously trying to shutdown Kleinhandler's supporter and to send a message to all of Kleinhandler's supporters. In Mr. Mele's mind the only opinion people can use their first amendment rights (I know that it is only an amendment to the constitution, Mr. Constitutionalist) to express is one in support of Mele. Once again Mr. Mele was a hair away from trouble with the law. Mr. Mele seems to keep hiding behind his first amendment rights and that right is probably the only reason the cops don't want to deal with Anthony "Madman" Mele. Let's hope Mr. Mele gets his prescription filled on, or before, the day of the primary…otherwise we are all in trouble….

Poor Rick Lazio. (For those of who don't know, he's running for governor in the Republican primary.)
The guy can't fire or even a break.

I have spoken with all of my writers, and they all agree: the Brooklyn GOP’s connections with controversial activist Dr. John Kenneth Press are too shocking to be ignored.
His online activities, writings and statements to the press are indicative of a man who clearly does not value or respect the rights and privileges our country and our party has stood for.
Given this inappropriate behavior, we call on all GOP candidates, fellow Republicans, libertarians and Tea Party activists to immediately disassociate with a man who has, among other things, encouraged hate against Muslims and defended ignorance and bigotry against a host of ethnic and religious groups.

The correct answer is no, unless you're a Muslim. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's former pastor, now has spoken out to assure us that the President is a Christian, or at least, a devout member of the United Church of Christ, the most left-wing of the American protestant denominations. Wright is is most famous for his "America's chickens have come home to roost" remarks in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. After twenty years in the pews of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, President Obama claims not to remember any of the Reverend Wright's sermons.
The Reverend Wright's comments are here:
