Same!  I'm voting red down the line except for NYS Gov.  I think Sharpe has a real shot, he's pulling moderate Dems, Reps, and people who claim to never vote.  I dont believe any of the polling data that says Sharpe is somewhere around 10% or less.  Those polls told us Killary was 97% going to be POTUS.  Sharpe has visited all 62 counties, multiple times....I dont think the others have.  Sharpe has some powerful name recognition.  His campaign is somewhat unconventionable, but it seems to be making some major strides.

Molinaro up to this point has basically from my perspective, not even trying to run an aggressive campaign.  Not to mention his running mate for LT Gov, is on video basically praising the SAFE ACT.  Plus none of the NYC Dems are going to vote for him.  I hope that Hawkins and Miner steal as many hippy votes away from Cuomo, and Sharpe gets over 30% of the vote from both sides, and all the others in the middle.

 

We can continue to vote D and R as we always do and then bitch about it afterwards....or try something different and vote for Larry Sharpe.

Name recognition? I didn't even know who this guy was until i saw a yard sign a week ago

Sharpe could've switched to the GOP and run against Molinaro for the nomination.  Then he would be a viable candidate.

 

Agreed. The Republicans anointed Molinaro because "it is his turn."

Is this some kind of joke?  He doesn't have a shot in the world.  Like others have said, a vote for Sharpe is a vote for Cuomo since you are not giving Molinaro a vote.

I watched the debate and Cuomo was on a tear.  He is the most arrogant, pathetic human being I've ever had the misfortune to watch.  His speech pattern makes my stomach turn.  Sounds like a freaking mafia boss who has never had anyone tell him that he was wrong.  He thinks whatever he says should be obeyed by everyone.  Freaking Trump can be an arrogant SOB, too, but he sounds like a pussycat compared to the ruthless Cuomo.

It is less than two weeks until the election and I have yet to see a TV commercial for Molinaro, while I see Cuomo's negative ads every day.  The Republican party in this state has done JACK $#!+ to try to help Molinaro win.

 

I like how right before the debate started Andy ran an ad accusing Marc of voting to chain female inmates to a gurney while giving birth.

I just read a little more about him. If Molinaro was not on the GOP ticket, he would probably win with a little more $$$. His stances on family law and the 2nd amendment are rock solid.

Respectfully, you would need to go back to Reuben Fenton during the Civil War to find the last non-D or R Governor of NY.  

Sharpe has no shot to beat Cuomo.  

Aren’t you forgetting (R) Governor George Pataki ? He was our governor during 9/11.

[Dinsdale]

Being from the area where Molinaro started out and other then while Mayor of Tivoli always a elected representative for me one way or another;  interesting to see other areas perceptions are of this election; I like him, always approachable.

Hoped for better from the republican party, but they seem to not really do anything for Astorino upstate last time and that cost them the Westchester county elections the next time around and worse is going to cost the NY Senate seats this time too.

Hope Dutchess doesn't turn out that way, bad enough we have city of Poughkeepsie to deal with.

[Water Rat]

I think Molinaro was the youngest Mayor ever elected to office in New York if not the country. Dinsdale is correct...... the city of Poughkeepsie is a shithole.

I remember during the last presidential primaries when I told people that I was voting for trump being told that it was a wasted vote and that he didn’t have a chance.

I’m tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. I’m tired of voting for someone because the other ones worse or because I hate the other guy more.

I think the tides are turning, it’s most likely not going to be this election and it might not be the next or the one after that but two party politics aren’t going to be around forever. Not every issue is black and white, Democrat or republican. I’ve switched parties 4 times in my 12 years of voting and I’ve realized I don’t fit in any party. I want freedom, I don’t care if you want to marry someone of the same sex or identify as a frigging dinosaur, I don’t care if you want to smoke pot, I don’t care if you want to have an abortion, all I want is for everyone to pay their share of taxes, and for that money not to be wasted on useless shit and for the Government to stay out of my life and to be left alone.

Unfortunately the republican candidate doesn’t agree with me on enough to earn my vote. So I will vote for whom I think will do the best job.

I will make a wager that if you add all the votes for Molinaro and Sharpes votes don’t equal Andy’s.

Even though Cuomo crushed Nixon in the primary it is important to note that many Democrats aren't happy with Prince Andy. He won mostly due to strong downstate support. Upstate dems dissatisfaction showed as Andy lost Schenectady, Tompkins, Otsego, Schoharie, Greene, Columbia, Washington, Fulton, Renselaer, Saratoga, Lewis, Montgomery and Albany Counties. A few of these he lost by 2:1 margins.

Molinaro is unlikely to pick up many of these voters (IMHO) but a significant number may just vote for one of the third party candidates instead of voting their party line. Food for thought- time will tell.

The historical tidbit was posted in reference to an Independent party candidate not being NY Governor since the Civil War.  To think that Sharpe has a viable shot at winning in November, one would have to ignore about 160 consecutive years of a D or R at the helm.  

[DirtTime]

I didn't watch the debate, I rarely watch this stuff anymore. Nothing civil and nothing 'debated' more or less about the true/real issues. Just personal attacks and two people we are supposed to vote for acting like children.

 

A third party vote won't cut it at this point in time. I'm not willing to risk it.

 

I said a while back, I am not on board with some of the crap Molinaro has done, but sorry, the real "Don" Cuomo has done far worse.

They say the "Mob"-"Mafia" doesn't exist anymore? LIES! Cuomo is 'strong-arming' and "threatening" a lot of companies, he's letting some nasty people out of prison, and we all know he's doing this with the clause they vote for him.

Cuomos thoughts on the issues are f****-up! Tax reform, welfare, allowing gangs to come into this country unvetted, allowing terrorism, I could go on, but that should be enough. Oh, I will add, he WILL take our guns!

 

It may be the "lesser of two evils", but not voting for Molinaro is a vote for Cuomo.

It’s strange when you consider there’s only 2 cities in Dutchess County ( Beacon & Poughkeepsie). Beacon used to be a dump too until it became an up and coming artistic community , now affectionately called Brooklyn North. Hope someday Poughkeepsie can get it’s act together.

Larry Sharpe has the best ideas of the candidates running imo. I felt he didn't have a chance a couple of months ago, however almost everyone I have talked to about the governor race brings his name up, and alot of people say they're voting for him.

He is the only one who is willing to defend our 2nd amendment right, so I will be voting for him.

I will not support the Republican or Democrat canidate that will take away more of my rights. That to me feels like selling out.

From the horse's mouth. If you allow something blatantly illegal then you are in fact for it.

I could argue he is against them using the same tweets that you just did.

He said the community should decide what is best for them.

Right but did not outlaw something clear as day as being illegal. They should all be deported. You come over illegally. Well tough shit for you. Go back and do things the right way

I hope everyone remembers that Cuomo pardoned 3 time cop killer Herman Bell and restored his voting rights (along with 24,086 other felons in NY). Bell lured NYPD officers Joseph Piagentin and Waverly Jones to a housing project and gunned  them down in cold blood! Several months later he joined in a Black Liberation Army hit on a San Francisco cop.

Not only did the Cuomo's parole board let this animal out, but Cuomo pardoned him so that he could fully return to society!

This makes me sick!

Sorry! I don't share Cuomo's values.....and he will never get my vote.

[grampy]

Cocky Cuomo is loving this!  Divide and conquer, against the non supporters. 

I truly respect each and every voters right, to vote for whoever they feel deserves their vote. And I'm giving a huge thumbs up, to anyone who actually gets off their azz to vote!  Too many complainers out there who don't vote!

But to make the change to send Andy packing, it is a numbers game, not a popularity contest. Simple as that. Only by all of us voting together, will the numbers be enough to get rid of this dictator!  

By all means, vote for who you want. Just don't shake your head, when Goofball Cuomo, rides ripshod over your rights. And taxes you into the poor house. We all had the chance to possibly do something about it.

 

 

[Rattler]

I don't think anyone here will vote for Cuomo. 

I think Sharpe has some good ideas, but is a relative new comer and is an unknown as far as his real agenda.  He is certainly not going to take votes from Cuomo. 

I will vote for Molinaro and would hope if he wins, Sharpe will stay in the game and hold Molinaro's feet to the fire for 4 years.  If Molinaro doesn't do what we want, Sharpe can run against him in the next election.  Come that time, he will have earned the votes if Molinaro let's us down.

Voting for Sharpe at this point is making a statement, but wasting your vote.  It's just a fact in elections.  Divided we all lose.
