Cuomo Dominates Paterson in...Everything

Although Governor David Paterson has been able to gain some support over the last six months, he still remains very unpopular in the polls and even less popular with people’s checkbooks. According to the New York Times, not only does Attorney General Andrew Cuomo lead Paterson in the public opinion polls by a 4 to 1 ratio, he is also dominating him in the fundraising race and has five times as much money in his campaign chest as the incumbent governor.

The New York Times reports that Cuomo currently has $16 million at his disposal whereas Paterson has …continue reading

Paterson Preaches Ethics In State Of The State Address

Despite the fact that David Paterson is a widely unpopular governor on his way out and despite the fact that the New York State legislature is a bevy of corruption, the governor used his State of the State address to legislators to discuss ethics and vowed to bring reform to Albany.

Poll Numbers Look Good For Bill Thompson

Losing to New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg seems to be the best thing that has ever happened to New York Comptroller Bill Thompson. The man who was once the only guy stupid enough to run against Bloomberg and his bottomless wallet has now become a very serious contender for the Senate and Lieutenant Governor thanks to how close he made the election.

Having become a household name after nearly upsetting Bloomberg’s third-term bid despite being outspent 12-1, Thompson is now eyeing a future after his term as Comptroller ends and poll numbers are showing that the Senate race …continue reading
