I mean, really. Lazio didn't get beat. He got crushed, in some places 9-1. The leaders of the so-called "conservative" party thought they should dictate who would be losing to Cuomo this year. Does anyone think they will get him off the ballot or will they stick it out to play spoiler? They seem to want to destroy any opposition to the one party rule we have now.

If lazio folds and backs paladino.....Cuomo will NOT be the next gov.!!!!!!!
I'm sure the Tea Party will pull out all the stops to back paladino, which will be no match for cuomo!!!
Lazio needs to walk away with dignity and back paladino. It would put lazio in a positive light with the new yorkers.
Paladino is just what the doctor ordered for the salvation of NYS!!!!
People should be contacting lazio's office advising him to walk away and back paladino!!! IMHO

if Lazio walks away ..  that would pretty much ensure the end of the Conservative Party line in NYS ..
as he is their Gubernatorial nominee

then so be it!! Actually, I could care less about the con party. They have clearly lost their way and are of no value anymore. It proved it just with the lazio/paladino primary!

ALL political parties are not the ones my parents belonged to and supported. They are not even recognizable anymore!!

Actually, Paladino wasn't on the Conservative primary.  The Conservatives did not endorse the most conservative person in the race.  No surprise looking at the heads of the local Conservative party.

Kevin -- what you said is true .. the Conservative leadership took a gamble that Lazio would "fend off"
Paladino .. and lost that gamble .. that bad gamble may have signed the death certificate of the
Conservative Party in NYS

You are right...the con party did not endorse the correct candidate! It should have been paladino!

But now they are stuck having endorsed a loser .. who will drag their entire party into oblivion

It is what it is!

dragging a party into oblivion is a lesson to learn.....this isn't Football or Baseball...although we like to treat it that way....the sheeple need to get back
to being pioneering Americans and a little less of the status quo of "THEY need to do something"........so if their collective mind was weighed and
found lacking-----so be it.......the Tea Party is NOT a party but a grassroots catalyst........hopefully we will keep it there........we should not have a
'horse' we should be the track.......JMHO

Did Loozio quit or is he digging in his heels for 20,000 votes!!!!!

If Lazio was truly and sincerely for the taxpayers AND SMART.......he would just walk away for this race and back paladino!!! If he doesn't walk away, he will NEVER win any election again....EVER!!

paladino is promising only a 4 year run. So if lazio coupled up with paladino, perhaps Lazio could be looking at a win in 4 years! IMHO
