With a day to go before Election Day, GOP gubernatorial hopeful Carl Paladino tried to connect with voters with the help of an online video invoking his dead son.
Paladino said his desire to run for office came last year after his son Patrick died in a car accident.
“I knew it was a very mischievous and not too endearing of an effort to do,” Paladino said in the newly-released 13-minute video. “But I figured I could do it … because I had my son on my shoulder and that’s what his life was about.”
Paladino trails in the polls to Democrat Andrew Cuomo. One poll had Cuomo leading by 20 percent.
The same Quinnipiac University survey released last week also that Cuomo was backed by 19 percent of Republicans and 88 percent of Democrats.
