Geesh – from the AP:
Democrat Andrew Cuomo sought to bolster his appeal among independents Wednesday in the race for New York governor with an endorsement from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, as a new poll showed tea party Republican Carl Paladino gaining ground.
Cuomo held the Bloomberg announcement just hours after the poll results were released. Soon after, Cuomo had to retract his statement during the event that he had once voted for Bloomberg…
The poll noted there shows Cuomo with only a 6 point lead, and below 50% support. Not a good sign for the man who was supposed to cruise to victory in November.
Paladino is, of course, still behind and has a very uphill fight to break the power of the elite in New York…but he’s hammering away at them, and Cuomo is scared…and starting to make stupid mistakes.
Could be an interesting night coming up on November 2nd.
