'You Can't Fight the Crazy With More Crazy'
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow slams Carl Paladino as a “kook” who is the “anti-establishment, anti-government spending choice – unless the spending is government rent checks payable to him.”

Despite Lazio's refusal to discuss his lobbying activities or release notes from JP Morgan meetings, the New York Times sheds light on Lazio's role overseeing the bank's lobbying operation. Government records show that Lazio lobbied against bills that would provide consumer protections from high interest rates, excessive fees and high-cost mortgages -- that were effectively killed.

Rick Lazio and Carl Paladino's "awful" campaigns, "show of dishonor," and "illegal" or "paint by the numbers" proposals were too much for the New York Daily News.
Democrats hit the airwaves today with their first ad slamming the two GOP candidates for governor, Rick Lazio and Carl Paladino, as part of the problem in Albany, not the solution.
Despite corruption allegations, Lazio says he is still fit to clean up Albany. Lazio is in denial. Watch the facts.
After a GOP Senate Candidate in Missouri was forced to pull videos exploiting 9/11 imagery from his web site, the NYS Democratic Committee demands today that Rick Lazio do the same.
"Lazio needs to remove those disgusting videos from his website and issue an apology to every New Yorker for having the gall to use the footage in the first place,” said Committee Chair Jay Jacobs.

After an explosive Village Voice piece, Lazio is dodging media questions about his role as the "Managing Director of JP Morgan," involved in shady insider deals, pay-to-play politics and a botched quid pro quo.
Yesterday, Jay Jacobs questioned whether Lazio personally orchestrating a multi-billion dollar pay-to-play scheme on behalf of JP Morgan should disqualify the lobbyist from office.
The Supreme Court says JP Morgan can spend as much as it wants on campaign ads. Will the big bank let top lobbyist Rick Lazio’s campaign continue to sink? Or will they bail him out at the last minute?

Today, in a letter to JPMorgan Chase, Democrats urged the big bank to pledge not to fund an advertizing blitz or independent expenditure campaign on behalf of Lazio, its top lobbyist, this fall.
After a recent Supreme Court ruling that reversed a century of campaign finance restrictions, JP Morgan has failed to restrict their political expenditures like other Wall Street corporations have done voluntarily.
