    Why would a Murdock owned paper be harassing their candidate?

    Because stories involving politicians' illegitimate children sells. I would be shocked if papers aren't bugging his daughter.

    After threatening a reporter with physical violence and death,, yes I bet they are wrong.

    And there is a poll showing him down by 30 points. Care for the link?

    death seems like a stretch. I don;t think thats what he meant. I personally don't think voters will care that he threatened violence if it had to do with protecting his daughter from the press. I am not saying I approve of his actions but I think parents and more specifically fathers won't care too much.

    That would be Siena's poll I believe. I put the three polls listed on the RCP over Siena (Siena is the crazy pollster who has Gilibrand up 26 when everyone else has it around 10).

    'I'll Take You Out, Buddy!'

    That’s not a death threat?

    Yep, "I'll take you out..." was him referring to asking the reporter on a date.

    "A conservative group against illegal immigration has called for the arrest of Meg Whitman, the GOP's candidate for governor of California, and her former housekeeper Nicky Diaz for breaking immigration laws. The Americans for Legal Immigration PAC said Thursday that Whitman should stand trial and Diaz should be deported.

    "It's pretty clear from all parties involved that Whitman did intentionally or unintentionally hire an illegal immigrant for nine years, which is a violation of federal law," William Gheen, president and spokesman of ALIPAC told TPMMuckraker in an interview Thursday.

    "To allow Whitman to avoid a trial on this matter would be the same as allowing O.J. Simpson to avoid trial because he said he didn't do it before he was arrested," Gheen said."

    mc mark you are just an extreme liberal and a blind supporter of the Dems...

    anyways the mood out here in Cali is that no one really cares about the Governor race.. We have some really crappy candidates running. We have a billionaire who apparently has an attitude and trying to buy her way in (I have no clue why, its probably the one of the worst Governor jobs in the nation) and a lying piece of crap who has made his career in politics in Brown. Even Bill Clinton basically called him a lying POS. Most of my hardcore Democrat friends won't even vote and support that guy and agree he's just needs to go. So what are we left with out here in Cali? Meg Whitman who no body likes.. It's sad when I hear comments from people that they would support Arnold's 3rd term over either of these candidates....

    oh well.. Im hoping Boxer finally loses her Senate seat. cant stand that elitist b*tch. Although Fiorinia or whatever her name is isnt much better.. oh well I think i'll just not vote.

    This is interesting:

    During a confrontation Wednesday night with a New York Post reporter, he said he had proof of Cuomo affairs and would soon release it.

    Paladino tells the News he misspoke and misunderstood that reporter’s question and its context.


    I wonder what question he could possibly have thought he was asked that resulted in him "misspeaking" that he had proof of a Cuomo affair that he would release. Some reporter needs to ask him that.
