Winner: People Are Fed Up With The Tone

Posted by: Nick Reisman - Posted in Uncategorized on Sep 30, 2010

It’s time to dial down the tone of the gubernatorial campaigns, said outgoing Sen. George Winner, R-Elmira.

Winner, who attended the Business Council’s meeting at the Sagamore, said both Democrat Andrew Cuomo and Republican Carl Paladino should take more policy and how to fix New York.

“I mean, that’s one of the reasons why I’m no longer running,” Winner said. “This atmosphere has gotten so nasty. I think the voters are pretty much fed up with it. I think the voters really want to see some real solutions particularly in these economic times with people hurting. I’m very disappointed by the tone of the campaigns and the top of the ticket in particular. They both feed on each other. There really isn’t any discussion on the merits of the real needs of the state of New York.”

    Its been a rough and tumble start that is for sure, and i would like to see several debates on the issues. I must say though that I am enjoying the race so far. For the first time in NY politics i’m seeing a campaign that puts it all out in the open. Albanys entrenched corruption needs to be exposed in harsh sunlight.

    What you “enjoy” is Carl Paladino mouthing off. That’s all.

    Most of the conservative bloggers and commenters have anger to get off their chest – and Carl supplies that voice.

    PLENTY of people are turned off by Carl’s blowhard nastiness. You’ll see on Election Day. He’ll do well in Western NY…and he’ll punk out statewide.
