NY: Third Party Tea Party Candidate for Governor?

WGRZ reports on the possibility that an upstate New York tea party group may seek to run a third party tea party candidate for governor:

BUFFALO, NY - "First we're going to identify whether we've got a winning effort," said Carl Paladino.  And if they do, Buffalo real estate developer Carl Paladino may run for governor of New York State; but not as a democrat or republican.  The Tea Party would create its own line on the ballot for him.  "You need 15,000 signatures statewide," said Ralph Mohr, Erie County Board of Elections Commissioner.
