Sling It: Paladino, Cuomo Posters Awesomely Unclassy

How much lower can the fight to be Governor of New York go? Because at this point, it's about balls and mud. After releasing an ad that shows a grimy Andrew Cuomo in the shower (ew), Republican candidate Carl Paladino's team has a new Shephard Fairey-style "Hope" poster with a stencil of Cuomo's head and "Cojones" (a reference that Cuomo doesn't have the balls to debate). And the NY State Democrats have entered the fray with a "PaladinoFacts.com" website complete with Paladino-as-pig-at-the-trough, since the millionaire developer has benefited from tax breaks.

Let's see, there's still over 40 days until the election—that's plenty of time for more insane Photoshop!

Shephard Fairey, do you see this? DO you!

Mr Mel

I understand how Paladino works. He's a bully and that's all there is to it. Any free thinking Republican who thinks for himself will, either not vote or vote for Fazio.
