he leads rick lazio 67-33%. carl paladino will be the republican party's candidate for governor of new york state. wow! carl paladino funded this campaign with about $10 middle of his own money. a huge fortune made in real estate as among other thing, the largest landlord for state offices in buffalo which is awkward given his campaign stance as the i really hate government the most guy. since such a huge proportion of his huge income come from the government. he is also famous for sending this. a western new york publication called wny media.net received and published what they call a deluge of e-mails that carl paladino had sent to a who's who of politicians, media types and hangers on. including this not actually a photo, photo shopped image of the president and first lady dressed for what the e-mail subject line called a white house ball. thanks, carl. another one called proof the irish discovered africa which had as an attachment monkeys doing a little river dance style jig. you get it? irish because they'r

lazio, and rick lazio started out with a big lead over paladino. the candidates are virtually tied. with 15% of voters still undecided, nobody really knows what's going to happen tomorrow in the new york state primary, only that karl paladino is the candidate who has been gaining among voters. mr. paladino's biggest virtue is he is not the establishment choice. what he has going for him, in other words, is that the state party is backing the other guy. mr. paladino has fund this had campaign with $10 million of his own money, a multigazillion dollars made in real estate and the largest landlord for state offices in buffalo. despite his denunciation of government spending. so carl paladino is the antiestablishment, anti-government spending choice unless the spending is government rent checks payable to him. those are essentially his virtues as a candidate. at least you have to hope those are his virtues as candidate, that those are the source of his appeal to new york republicans, because if it's not the that stuff, i'm telling you, this is essentia

rick lazio trailing, 72% for the tea party candidate, carl paladino at the moment. 28% for rick lazio. just 7% of the vote in there, but on a night like this, we've seen it happen in delaware, it could be happening in new hampshire, we'll keep an eye on new york. >> that's huge, 72%. do we know where that's coming from? are those kind of skewed based on where it's coming from in the state? >> we don't know yet, that's where we're breaking down as they come in. you're in new york city, it's a big diverse state, we have to be very careful when the numbers are in down below 7%. but paladino, a tea party candidate running against the establishment, that's a good start. long way to go. >> do we know about the rangel race? >> haven't seen results on that one yet, and, of course, that is a dramatic primary. he's seeking his 21st term and as you know he's facing a dozen ethics charges here and a shot, a chance, although most people believe rangel will pull it out, a chance for adam clayton powell iv. >> we're going to follow this all of this over the next hour or so, into the next hour as wel

primary governor, rick lazio was considered the favorite not that long ago. tea party candidate carl paladino is a republican developer. let's look at these numbers. 67% for the tea party carl paladino. 33%, a poor showing for rick lazio. anderson this has been holding up and that would be another big message here. carl paladino the tea party candidate saying this is an established republican. we will watch that as it plays out. and the d.c. mayoral race, no results. getting late. we're wondering where the votes are. the democratic incumbent, running against the chairman of the city council. his message has been the african-american mayor lost touch with the african-american community. school reform, cannot tell you anything at the moment. we would like for those numbers right there, we're ready to make a call and the new york republican governor's race. we're ready to make this call, cnn projecting a major upset tonight, carl paladino, the tea party candidate, cnn projects he will be the republican nominee for governor defeating the man who just weeks ago wa

lazio for the republican nomination for governor and it is still too close to all in new hampshire where the endorsement by sarah palin could be the difference. this could be a gift for democrats fearing the worse for the november elections. tim kaine said a split party may be easier to win. >> moderates aren't welcome.

in new york, carl paladino upset former congressman rick lazio for the republican nomination for governor. p pal. >> yes, we are as hell. new yorkers are fed up. tonight the ruling class knows they've seen it now, okay? they not only know it, but they've seen it. there's a people's revolution. every day new yorkers are just mad enough to force change at the ballot box. the people have had enough. >> paladino will now face andrew cuomo in november. most experts don't give mr. paladino much of a shot against cuomo, but he will certainly make the race interesting. also in new york, charlie rangel gel brushing it all off, easily surviving a primary challenge by five different rrivals. his most aggressive challenger adam clayton powell finished with 23%. so charlie rangel hangs on there. but if reports are any indication, expect challenges to primary results in the state of new york. yesterday the yesterday. >> today unfortunately we have hearing disturbing reports that some polling sites have been very disturbing. we've been told of some polling sites that opened two to four hours late. that

you might get a gasp. 67% for the tea party's carl palladino, 33% for rick lazio. this is holding up. karl paladino saying this is an establishment republican. we need a break in the party. the d.c. mayoral race. no results in this one. getting late after 11:00, the democratic republican adrian feinty running against vincent gray. gray says the african-american mayor lost touch with the african-american community. school reform a huge issue. can't tell you anything at this moment. i'm being told we are ready to make a call in the new york republican governor's race. we are ready to make this call. cnn projecting another major upset. carl paladino. cnn projects he will be the republican nominee for mayor defeating the man who was thought to be the favorite rick lazio. karl paladino will face andrew cuomo, the son of the former governor. he will be favored in that race, but, wow, another upset. another message to the republican establishment. we have been talking about how this is a bad year for the democrats come november. what it has been through this primary seaso

rick lazio facing a strong challenge from carl paladino. with just 6% of precincts reporting now, carl paladino well out ahead of rick lazio. the story of the night, christine o'donnell has pulled off the upset in delaware's senate primary. defeating mike castle for the republican nomination for senate. with tonight's win, christine o'donnell becomes a name of which americans will be much more familiar. tonight she actually won, which should not be confused with her false claims during the campaign, that she defeated or maybe tied joe bind when she ran in the 2008 senate race in two of delaware's three counties and still managed to lose. you may also recall she floated the suggestion that her opponent, congressman castle was secretly gay. she defended herself against charges that she had called him gay, by telling mr. castle he should put his man pants on. tonight we can mark the occasion of christine o'donnell's man pants victory, a theme that is certain to revert in november. we can mark the victory with this, christine o'donnell speaking

>> poor rick lazio, this is not the first time he has run for statewide office. in 2000 he ran against then hillary clinton and lost to her in that race. the republican establishment, the republican party of new york was hoping that rick lazio could go up against andrew cuomo, the current state attorney general for the governorship, but what ended up happening was that carl paladino, you know, found a way to get himself on the ballot and to knock rick lazio completely out of the park. >> it seems like they were caught unaware maybe until murkokski. they didn't get things up and moving until late in the game. >> when you look at lazio's race, it was sort of the warning shot that got the attention of a lot of people around the country. if you read in the papers today, it was the murkowski's loss that sparked action into delaware and same thing in new york state and as we saw in both races, it wasn't enough. maybe it was too little, too late. >> he doesn't have a chance, does he? >> well, you know, i don't know. i mean, the guy got elected. not elected, the guy got

then a guy who beats rick lazio. you're a strategist. if success breeds clues on the republican side, what are people saying, in your mind? was it just a republican message or were you trying to pick up a message? >> i think the principle thing is that there is a civil war going on within the republican party. we started to see that with chase and specter, last night with congressman castle and others. there is a civil war there. but there is a message for us, which is hey, look, people want to see change. they're not yet happy with where everything is. that means that there is more work to do. >> gretchen: governor, the reason that we're seeing these tea party candidates win is because a lot of people believe it's a referendum on your guy, on president obama, and also in the midterm elections, you don't get a huge surge of voters coming out, but you might get a huge surge of tea party voters still coming out on november 2. >> what i would say about that is it is a referendum within the republican primary lectorate and i think it's clear

the establishment candidate, former candidate rick lazio, not close. 63% to 37%, and that set for the tea party to go against the democrat andrew cuomo. currently the state attorney general. charlie rangel, we project charlie rangel will win renomination in the 15th district in the house. five challengers in this primary, also faces ethics allegations. we can break down the numbers. this is his closest rival, adam clayton powell, charlie rangel with 52%, coal with 24%. charlie rangel nelly overwhelming favorite for 21st term in congress. this is still being counted and to the overnight hours. the democratic incumbent, he wants four more years, the democratic primary is essentially the general election and the chairman of the city council his challenger. he is leading in this race, he made education reform the big issue, 54% and 45% for the incumbent. 20% of the vote counted so we need to keep watching this. it looks like there could be a new mayor in washington. look a these results throughout the night. cnn the place to get the latest. back to larry. the hat guy. i can't even tell yo
