NY Republican gubenatorial candidate Carl Paladino exits with style

Nothing subtle about the concession speech Carl Paladino, who lost his long-shot gubernatorial bid to N.Y. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. Wielding an orange-colored baseball bat, the Buffalo, N.Y., real estate developer promised: “Make no mistake, you have not heard the last of Carl Paladino.”

Paladino’s campaign was marked by repeated episodes of violent gestures and language. At one point, he told a reporter “I’ll take you out” if the newspaper staked out his daughter, who he fathered out-of-wedlock. Paladino also promised at the New York Republican Convention to “clean out Albany with a baseball bat.”
