When the State Legislature appointed Thomas DiNapoli to succeed the disgraced Alan Hevesi as state comptroller four years ago, Governor Eliot Spitzer jumped aboard his high horse and denounced Mr. DiNapoli as unqualified. Mr. Spitzer, of course, soon joined Mr. Hevesi in involuntary exile, and Mr.... Link

If the job of New York's attorney general was just to be a super-prosecutor, any competent district attorney would do. But criminal prosecution is really a small part of the job. What the next attorney general most represents is the people of New York's best shot at good government. That means both... Link

In recent years, citizens have come to depend on having an aggressive attorney general who fights special interests and stands up for the common person. New York's next attorney general must not stray from that role. Both candidates promise not to, but Democrat Eric Schneiderman's comprehensive... Link

New York Times
October 23, 2010
Mr. Paladino has cheapened the campaign with bigotry and aimless swagger. Even if Mr. Paladino had chosen to be a serious candidate, his “platform” is little more than sputtering threats to cut and close and freeze. [Mr. Cuomo] has a strong record in office over the last four years and has proposed... Link

Certainly a discussion of issues would have been useful. Yet, scandalously, the GOP was unable to field a credible candidate in what is shaping up everywhere else in America as a strong Republican year. At the outset, there was something refreshing about Carl Paladino, the erratic, energetic... Link
