Looks like far-right GOP nominee Carl Paladino will at least have a clear shot at Democrat Andrew Cuomo:
Former Representative Rick A. Lazio has agreed to have his name removed as the Conservative Party’s candidate for governor, in a decision that bolsters the candidacy of the Republican candidate, Carl P. Paladino.

The deluge finally lets up today on the polling front, tapering off to a steady rain of numerical goodness. After two days where the polling total registered in the high 20s/low 30s, we see "only" 21 polls in the inbox today.
New York gets the big treatment today, with three different pollsters hitting the...
As we reach midweek, we get another day of numerical downpours, with another 28 polls added to the mix today. CNN/Opinion Research provides a pretty sizeable dollop of data (seven polls), and the results bring new relevance to Sunday's discussion about the gap between registered and likely voters. If, as was the trend in...
As I suspect will be the case from now until November, the Wrap is positively bursting at the seams with numbers a-plenty to kick off the week. And the data runs the gamut, from polls that will make Democrats smile to polls that will make Democrats weep.
Also, we have...in 2010...an advocate of Eugenics...
While the confetti has long been swept up from the victory parties all over the East Coast (well...Wisconsin excepted), there was actual news and data emanating from other races. Which means that we have a pretty darned full edition of the Wrap for this Wednesday evening.
We have the SurveyUSA buzzkill tour going coast-to-coast,...
Forty-two states have already done it, and by this time next week, the entirety of the nation will have completed the process of primary elections. And, in the grand tradition of saving the best for last, there is no shortage of high-octane contests with which we will close out the primary season this week.
...What the weekend edition of the Wrap lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quantity. New numbers from a couple of different locations, plus I wonder what the right-wing scolds who feel they own this particular day are going to say about one of their own whining about the "hijacking" of his party's primary.
...A fairly quiet Thursday on the campaign trail, though we do see some new and encouraging numbers out of the Hawkeye State (and the source will surprise you). We have less encouraging numbers out of Maine (and the source will surprise you there, as well).
That, plus a lesson in campaign comity from the...
And with that, five months in the wonderful year that has been 2010 are done. Time may not be flying, but it sure is hauling ass...
Given the paucity of news over the holiday weekend, this is a pretty spartan edition of the Wrap, as you might expect.
However, to kick it off,...
We start accelerating towards the holiday weekend with this top o'the morning edition of the Wrap (necessitated by some gremlins with internet access on Thursday for yours truly).
We have another one bitin' the dust in Wisconsin, some nice polling data out of Connecticut, and some less-nice data out of New Mexico. Add to...
After a quiet weekend edition of the Wrap, the Monday edition explodes with stories a-plenty about candidates getting into races, out of races, and mounds of data to mine, as well.
The Ras-a-Poll-ooza sets down in North Dakota, and looks at a Senate race that is on absolutely no one's radar. How very Ras-sy...
After an interminable wait that turned his announcement into the greatest foregone conclusion in the recent history of politics, Andrew Cuomo made it official this morning--he is running for Governor of New York:
Democrat Andrew Cuomo is making it official: He will seek the New York governor's job once held by his...
