Why?
I believe Paladino hurts decent Republican, conservative, and religious candidates, and the damage would be worse if he gets elected.
Reagan, Giuliani, George W. Bush and others have been slimed as right-wing kooks, yet went on to do well in office.
Ads which implicitly said that Barry Goldwater, and later, Reagan, would start a nuclear war were aired.
Chris Christie, who seems to be a decent, fiscally conservative Republican, was also slimed as a right-wing radical.
The Tea Party movement is being unfairly dismissed by much of the media as a bunch of angry right-wing religious nuts and kooks.
