The New York gubernatorial election of 2010 will be held on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 to elect the Governor of New York, who will serve a four-year term to begin in January 2011. Incumbent Governor David Paterson was elected as Lieutenant Governor in 2006 as the running mate of former Governor Eliot Spitzer, who resigned due to a prostitution scandal in March 2008.
In May 2009, former Long Island Congressman and 2000 Republican U.S. Senate nominee Rick Lazio announced that he will run the race for the New York Governor. As of February 2010, Lazio is considered the front runner for the nomination.
The most widely circulated potential candidate for the New York Governors race had been former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, who stated in November 4 on Neil Cavuto that he "didn't know" whether he'd run for governor, and then confirmed to a reporter in Dubai that he was "seriously thinking about" a gubernatorial run. He stated that his run would depend on the success or failure of the budget and Paterson's handling of it. In January 2009, Giuliani said he would not decide on a gubernatorial run for another six to eight months. In April, 2009, a Qunnipiac poll showed Giuliani slightly defeating Paterson. He officially declined to run in December 2009, instead backing former congressman Rick Lazio.

Candidate information can be found below.
Warren Redlich, the Libertarian candidate for Governor and a speaker at several Tea Party events, rejected Paladino’s latest proposal: “History has shown us what happens when people give power to bigoted strongmen with a disregard for the fundamental rules of government.”
Paladino previously disregarded the Tea Party movement’s opposition both to eminent domain abuse and reckless government spending by proposing a New York State taking of the area around the World Trade Center.

Massachusetts Gubernatorial Race 2010
The Massachusetts gubernatorial election of 2010 will be held on November 2, 2010. Incumbent first-term Democratic Governor Deval Patrick is seeking re-election. Also competing are candidates from the Republican and Green-Rainbow Parties, as well as an Independent. Party primary elections are scheduled for September 14, but the GOP and Green-Rainbow parties have already endorsed their candidates.
Most of us thought the governors campaign would go negative, but not this soon, not this hard, and not from the Republican candidate. Recent polls show that Patrick, Cahill and Baker have roughly equal support. Patrick has negatives around 60%, and voters have not heard of Baker by a similar margin.
So, with limited room for Patrick to grow his support, and with Baker having so much running room, I thought the race would be to define Baker in a negative way before he gets a chance to define himself to voters.

Ron Sparks
Ron Sparks proved that he was a viable astute politician by defeating black Congressman Artur Davis in the Democratic Primary. What was amazing was that Ron Sparks received a substantial number of votes from the black community that resulted in his winning the Democratic nomination. Ron Sparks has taken an aggressive pro gambling pro lottery position and has the apparent backing of the gambling interests.
Sparks supports the Obama healthcare reform and the public option, opposes charter schools, supports the Stimulus, and advocates an educational lottery and gaming tax for pre-kindergarten and college scholarships.
Ron Sparks vs. Artur Davis on Obama Health Care
The black community was upset with Artur Davis voting against Obama Care.
Alabama New South says Davis affected by health vote.
Two leaders of the Alabama New South Coalition say U.S. Rep. Artur Davis appeared to be the front-runner for the group's endorsement in the Democratic race for governor until he became the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus to vote against the federal health care bill. Ron Sparks strongly supported Obama Care, and was able to successfully appeal to the black community that he was with them on the issue. Artur Davis took the risk that the black community would stand with him as Congressman Davis voted No to Obama Care so to prove to middle of the road Alabama that he was not an Obama extremist. Many in the black community remember how the Israeli Lobby financed his campaign to defeat then incumbent Congressman Earl Hillard, as Congressman Hillard openly fought against the pro-Israel agenda in Congress. Hillard paid the price when well financed Artur Davis was able to pull an upset win against him. Many in the black community remember that, and it was pay back time as many leaders sided with Ron Sparks. Ron Sparks Alabama Governor
Ron Sparks won by convincing that he was with the black community on the issues, that Artur Davis was not.
Sparks will now have to pay the price as he has clearly been very left wing on the issues, and supportive of the Obama agenda, and will have to deal with trying to win the support of middle of the road Alabama with the "Liberal
Obama" tag associated with his name.

Conservative recommendations for FL gubernatorial candidates. Florida Candidates Governor
Tuesday's election will culminate a bitter four-month contest that saw record spending for a state primary campaign - mostly by Rick Scott, who has written checks for more than $30 million to blanket the state's TV airwaves with his commercials.
Bill McCollum, a 66-year-old former congressman and twice unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. Senate, was the presumptive nominee until Scott jumped into the race in April. Scott, 57, already popular in tea party circles for his high-profile opposition to President Barack Obama's health care plan, blasted out TV commercials introducing himself as a "conservative outsider."
After trailing in some polls by double-digits less than a month ago, McCollum overtook Scott in a Quinnipiac University poll last week. That survey showed he was favored by 44 percent to 35 percent out of 807 likely Republican voters. But nearly a fifth of participants said they hadn't yet decided on a candidate and roughly a third said they might still change their mind.

Alabama Governor Candidates 2010 AL
The Alabama candidates for governor are Robert Bentley and Ron Sparks. See issue information and data for each one.
Alabama Candidates For Governor State Position On Moral Issues
The below was taken from an article of the Mobile Press Register. Their information came from a survey where the candidates submitted a written response to a questionnaire.
Bradley Byrne: I think there are parts of the Bible that are meant to be literally true
and parts that are not.
Ron Sparks: refused to answer any question concerning religion.
Evolution:
Candidates Bradley Byrne, James Potts, and Bill Johnson said that they believed in evolution.
All 3 candidates indicated that God used evolution.
Robert Bentley R-Tuscaloosa; said instructors should also be allowed to teach from the Bible.
and agreed that teachers in public schools should be allowed to lead voluntary prayers.
Also on agreement on the leading of voluntary prayer -- included Kay Ivey; state Rep. Robert Bentley, R-Tuscaloosa; former state Sen. Bradley Byrne of Montrose; Greenville businessman Tim James; and Bill Johnson
Roy Moore says that local government officials in charge
of particular buildings or parks should decide what religious displays
appear on such property. Moore added that he would personally favor
Christian displays.
Tim James I believe in the literal interpretation, that the holy Bible is the
inspired word of God. Period. I believe in creationism, not evolution.
Congressman Artur Davis issued a broad statement recognizing belief in God, but was vague on specifics.
From Mobile Press Register, November 16, 2009. Above information taken from article which was taken from a written and signed survey by the candidates. The information from this survey was the center piece of newspaper ads attacking Bradley Byrne. For Bradley Byrne to deny that he believes in evolution and to say that he never said that parts of the Bible are untrue questions the creditability of his signed statement on the issues to the Mobile Press Register.

Tim James
It is assumed that Tim James will carry on the conservative traditions that were demonstrated by Governor Fob James.
Tim James says:
At this time of budget shortfalls and pro ration, the best strategy is to live within our means, just as businesses and families must do to survive.

Consider this: One-half of all jobs created in the United States in 2008 occurred in Texas. It wasn't because of government programs. It was the result of two developments: comprehensive tort reform and tight-fisted fiscal policy with billions socked away into the state's rainy day fund.
We can benefit from these lessons, electing a governor and legislators who know that jobs creation comes when there's a strong commitment to less government, lower taxes, lower regulatory costs and protection from nuisance lawsuits.
If elected governor of Alabama, I will commit to follow this path and not the road to ruin that out-of-control spending and bigger government bring.
Tim James
Judge Moore on the issues:
Return to reappraisals of real property every four years. Eliminate business personal property tax.
Lower taxes which will necessitate a reduction in the size and scope of government resulting in decreased spending. * No legislator should be allowed to serve three (3) consecutive terms in the same office, a provision already in effect for other constitutional offices.

English should be declared our state language, required for obtaining a drivers license.

Psalms 1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
