Blitzkrieg Begins
GOP gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino has released new TV and radio ads for a last-minute media blitz that will remain on the air through the Sept. 14 primary, according to his campaign.
Paladino’s campaign manager Michael Caputo wouldn’t reveal the size of the buy, but did say both are running statewide, and the TV spot is on broadcast and cable.
You can watch both of the ads on Paladino’s Web page. Here’s the radio script, just to give you a taste:
“(male voiceover): Are you mad as hell about the mess in Albany? New Yorkers pay the highest taxes. We get the wildest liberal spending, but we’re still losing jobs. One man has stepped forward to drive career politicians and their special interest buddies out of Albany. That’s outsider Carl Paladino for governor of New York.”
“He’s not a politician, he’s a successful Buffao CEO. Like many in the Tea Party movement, Carl’s under attack by the liberal elite because he’ll turn Albany upside down and take out the trash.”
The radio spot ends with Carl slamming “career politicians” to promise tax and spending cuts and don’t deliver.
His part cuts off at the very end, but I think you get the idea…it’s a not-so-subtle swipe at his primary opponent, Rick Lazio, a former Long Island congressman; and the Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner, AG Andrew Cuomo.
