The state Democratic Party responded to the Republicans’ new “more of the same” ad campaign with this little Web video, which reminds GOP and Conservative leaders how they used to feel about Carl Paladino – ‘lo those many moons ago before they embraced him as their gubernatorial standard-bearer.

“Up until Paladino won the primary, the chairmen of the Republican and Conservative Parties agreed that Paladino was ‘a dangerous candidate‘ and that his conduct ‘stands in stark contrast’ to bedrock New York values,” state Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs said in a press release.

“They may have changed their official party line to save their political fiefdoms, but Paladino is as much of a train wreck as ever. As New Yorkers of all political stripes are starting to realize, Paladino’s extreme views don’t reflect our state’s values and would derail any chance for progress on the challenges we face.”
