Andrew Cuomo and Carl Paladino, the frontrunners for governor of New York, spent their first and only scheduled debate vowing to reduce taxes, spending and government corruption, without once mentioning the other’s name.

Democrat Cuomo and Republican Paladino avoided the personal attacks of recent weeks during a Hofstra University appearance yesterday with five others on the ballot, including a woman who ran a Manhattan escort service and the founder of the Rent Is Too Damn High party.
