It’ll be Carl Paladino time and only Carl Paladino time on television Thursday in many parts of the state.
The raucous Republican governor candidate bought a bunch of tube time to make a “major” announcement at 5:13 p.m. but it’s anybody’s guess what what he’s going to say, sources told the Daily News.
The only thing that seems sure is that Paladino isn’t going to pull out of the race, they said. As of late Wednesday, the Paladino camp bought a block of time in Buffalo with the three network affiliates.
Upstaters won’t be able to turn on a major channel without seeing Paladino. The broadcast will be rerun in Rochester, Albany and Syracuse and Channel 12 on Long Island, plus Westchester Fox cable later Thursday night. Sources said his people also were trying to buy time on Fox statewide.

His very shrewd and experienced consultant, Roger Stone, is behind this. It should be very interesting.
Darnation!! I’m getting a mani-pedi at that time. Shame!
I’m a staunch Republican, BTW. Just in case my sarcasm confuses anyone.
For the edification of your readers, here’s the scoop on “Crazy Carl” from the Villiage Voice investigate reporter:
“…he understands that these days it helps to have people think you might be a little nuts. Polls show the voters are so frustrated with a sagging economy and steady corruption that they identify with candidates who talk about smashing things up with baseball bats.
“Paladino has been making this threat so often that a bat manufacturer has offered to make him his own signature brand. It will be cut from fine Adirondack White Ash and called the Paladino Albany Slugger…”
Bestbubby i hope you meant your a staunch conservative, because republicans are no better than democrats, not only that, its republicans who got us into the mess we are in today.
eric, I’d add – in part. We should take a look at the 90’s when the GOP controlled congress and remember that the economy got wrecked under Democratic-led congress from ’06. While Republicans are to blame for not stopping the spending spree and Bush for not using his veto power, they shouldn’t be the only ones to blame. The Democrats are definitely more at fault. The GOP actually made me proud by being ‘the party of no [spending]’ since Obama was elected. That showed us that they’ve learned from their mistakes and as NJ Gov. said recently “Republicans must either put up or shut up”.
“The only thing that seems sure is that Paladino isn’t going to pull out of the race”
What a pity. I was hoping he would do just that and make room for a normal conservative.
What was the big announcement?
