[NY] New York Election Results 2010 [GOVERNOR]

New York Election Results 2010 are available, and Andrew Cuomo won over Carl Paladino and **gasp** the "The Rent Is Too Damn High" party candidate, Jimmy McMillen. Cuomo won with 62% of the votes, and that's pretty much of a landslide when it comes to political races.

Carl Paladino was a bit "out there." He was a Tea Party backed candidate with very conservative views on Abortion and other controversial issues.

Andrew Cuomo seemed to "fit" the New York mold a bit better, and as such will be taking over Albany at the end of the current term. After all, his father, Mario Cuomo, used to be the state's governor so he does come from political backgrounds.

Carl Paladino winning the governor seat would have been a major upset in a traditionally blue state.

What do you think of the New York Election results 2010 for the governor race?

Rent Is Too Damn High Party

Rent is Too Damn High party…yes, that’s a political affiliation that Jimmy McMillen is claiming for his bid for New York governor. Yes, I know – you thought the tea party backed Carl Paladino was crazy and wait until you meet this guy.


(Yes, the guy holding the sign is the candidate)


Only in New York , which is famous for “rent control” could someone come up with a party called “Rent is Too Damn High.” In addition, there’s actually a party web site.


There’s also an Anti-Prohibition party candidate named Kristin Davis…she’s a former madam who said at the debate “the key difference between the MTA and my former escort agency is that I operated one set of books and my former agency delivered on-time and reliable service.” The MTA is New York ’s transit authority. Davis wants to legalize pot.


And you thought Christine O’Donnell was the nut-job of the 2010 Mid-Term elections!

For more on the Rent is Too Damn High party, click here. I have a news video below which confirms the existence of this otherwise unbelievable party.

New York Governor Race - Carl Paladino Cuts into Andrew Cuomo's Lead

The New York Governor's race isn't going to be a sure-bet for the Democrats this year. Carl Paladino is a staunch conservative, and under normal circumstance he wouldn't stand a chance in the liberal state of New York. However, people are getting tired with the way the government is run.

The Tea Party movement has been a rampant force, and it's one that threatens to undermine the Democratic majority in the federal government.

Now, Andrew Cuomo seems to be the perfect choice for New York governor. His dad was the former governor, and it's a point that Carl Paladino - a Democrat turned Republican - likes to point out.

However, face it - New York hasn't had good luck with Democratic governors. Spitzer stepped down when he was involved in a prostitution ring, and now Governor Paterson is embroiled in scandal.

Still yet, Paladino is a little unorthodox. Can someone as radically conservative as he is rally win the New York governor's race? (Click here to watch a video on some of his views) I guess we will find out the answer to that on November 2nd.
