VIDEO: NY GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE TAKES ON GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

Based on this ad alone, this race shouldn't even be a contest. Then again, we're seeing quite a bit of absurdity come to fruition these days. In times when Alvin Greene wins the South Carolina Democratic candidacy and Tony'd up politician Alexi Giannoulias does the same in Illinois, why would Americans not think Andrew Cuomo would win in New York? As HUD Secretary in 1998 when the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was given teeth, Cuomo should be a disgraced former politician.

That said, this is an awesome ad from Cuomo's opponent, Carl Paladino, who says he will use eminent domain to stop construction of the ground zero mosque if elected. Meanwhile, Cuomo supports construction of the mosque. Before watching the ad, it's worth going to Paladino's website. When you visit, you'll see him come onto your screen to introduce himself - worth the watch.
