(CNN) - A recent confrontation between New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino and a newspaper columnist illustrates the multimillionaire's brash and unpredictable nature, a political observer said.
"He's got to control himself," said Doug Muzzio, a professor of public policy at Baruch College in New York. "This guy wants to be the governor and is going to start beating up or having reporters hit? It's [got] a Tony Soprano-like quality to it."


"Empty barrels always make the most noise".
The ridiculous, little, overweight guy is obviously totally nuts.
Refreshing, isn't it? Not to have to peel back the layers of their PUBLIC persona to get to the REAL GOP scuzball underneath is a WELCOMED change in my book.
After the primary I watched his interview I was thinking what is going on Republican Party
Looks and acts like a poster child for the Mafia.
