As much as I detest Cuomo I easily admit that Paladino is unfit, by virtue of temperament, for public office.
I agree, I don't think the endorsement is any surprise. Cuomo is certainly better qualified, or certainly more suited for the job. i don't think the endorsement had anything to do with going for a "sure winner".

I don't buy the unfit, unqualified, unstable argument. That was the template created by the Democrats and their supporters in the MSM and I'm amazed so many NY'ers unthinkingly bit on that hook.
However, running a sucessful business is very different from running Albany, which is probably second only to Sacramento in dysfunctionality. Paladino likes a good scrum, but if you pick a fight with the NY Assembly you need spotless relations with the media to garner sympathy for your position from those vultures, and IMO NY'ers under Paladino are going to have four years of gridlock because the MSM hates Paladino.
Gridlock isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially when times are good and the government keeps trying to pick our pocket, but NY is a mess and needs a governor who can be an evil s.o.b. like Cuomo but still get the approval of the MSM. I reluctantly understand the Post's position.
Can you please explain to me what the MSM is? People on the right end of political ideology throw those words around to describe media outlets in general which don't agree with their ideas of whatever the subject is. Is that the definition?
I've seen many of the ring-wingers in this forum, trash the 'MSM' relentlessly, then turn around and quote it as gospel when it suits their purpose. IMO ~ I am curious what you think the MSM is. Does that include the internet, Twitter, Fox News, and Republican-owned media outlets?
When Cuomo was governor didn't the MSM (or what I believe it is) in NY constantly attack him? As I remember, he was nobody's darling when he was governor. But now they love him?
