No, this post will not include multiple intersecting time-lines, but it will have multiple intersecting campaigns for governor of New York.
Crazy Carl Paladino has triumphed in the New York Republican Gubernatorial primary. Either his voters are very dumb or very sophisticated.
It seems that Crazy Carl's running-mate [first name] Ognibene was defeated by Rick Lazio's running-mate [first name] Edwards. (As neither of these men has any chance of ever being elected lieutenant governor, I'm not bothering to search for their first names.) This sets up a situation where Paladino is running with Edwards on the Republican line, Edwards is running with Lazio on the Conservative line and Ognibene is running with Paladino on the Taxpayers Party line. (I plan on writing a whole post on just how asinine a "Taxpayers Party" is in the future.) If this is all starting to sound like some sick mash-up of Twilight and The Jersey Shore, then you are giving far too much credibility to the class and intelligence of New York Republicans.
I have a hard time believing that people who would vote for Paladino are informed enough to have researched the relative qualities of Edwards and Ognibene and come to the conclusion that while they support Crazy Carl, they prefer Edwards due to his superior policy positions.
I don't even know if Edwards teabags.
This creates a legal conundrum whereby votes for Paladino as a Republican cannot be added to votes for Paladino as a Taxpayer-er(?), because the tickets are not the same.
So which team are you? Team Edwards or Team Ognibene?
