Official New York Governer Election Poll/Discussion Thread

Last night The candidates faced off.
I really liked what Michael McDermott said
"Republicans blame democrats for corruption. Democrats blame republicans for corruption. I think Instead of them running the show. The People must. We need to involve the people in our government."
Cumo then shot off at Astorino, and vic versa.
Michael McDermott than only said this, however having 1 minute to debate.
"I rest my case"

Do we need a thread to discuss this?

by **Stuzemstazem** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 3:06 pm

You can discuss here.

I don't see the point. Now, if we were to make a mega thread for all gubernatorial elections, similar to the existing senate election mega thread, then there'd be a point.

New Jersey here. I support all attempts to remove that snide, Cuomo, from office.

Considering he's not liked on the left either, yes.

There's a few grammatical errors in the OP and in the title. No offense. It's my tendency to notice those sorts of things.

I think the Democrats will win as usual, though I disagree with Democrats and wish someone could just come up with a half-decent platform and actually carry it out.

What exactly would be a half-decent platform?

I know someone working for Cuomo campaign who described him as a maniacal tyrant who goes where the wind and money blows him.

Probably the Democratic platform.

The Republican platform is more like a quarter-decent and the rest are shit. There are no real decent platforms.

Anyways, if I lived in New York, I'd reluctantly vote for Cuomo. I think he's smug, incompetent, and not a very good governor, but he's a hell of a lot better than the other candidates.

by **Our Governator** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 4:23 pm

I feel that platform issue. They have no problem explaining what they're against, but they can't say what they're for, especially the third parties.

by **Stuzemstazem** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 4:32 pm

I wanted Jimmy Mcmillan to run.

But he is running for vice president w/ Vermin Supreme, NO JOKE.

Rent Is Too Damn High Party: Perennial candidate Jimmy McMillan made a fourth attempt at running for governor on his self-created line, with Christialle Felix as his running mate.[70] His petitions were later challenged and invalidated after it was discovered McMillan had photocopied many of the petitions to give the appearance of more signatures.[71]-Wikipedia

Cuomo for reelection, as I support the safe act and everything else he has done.

by **Stuzemstazem** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 4:37 pm

I myself would vote for cuomo.

Did you watch the debate or are you speaking in generalities?

Because I saw the third party candidates (actually, especially the green party guy) give very detailed responses.

EDIT: Here is a link to the debate.

You guys sure about that? I don't know about the Greens, but the LPNY has a very detailed platform that is similar to the main party. (No central planning required!)

On radio 93.9 (WNYCFM)
Rob Astorino just now said the following:

I have won uphill races before. This is no different. Assuming the people want whats right for them, I will win.
