Former GOP gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino is throwing his support behind Jane Corwin in the race for New York's 26th Congressional District. The Buffalo businessman issued a fiery letter to media outlets today (it's dated Wednesday Morning!) charging the current Tea Party candidate, Jack Davis, with "lying" based on the his supposed endorsement of Barack Obama and, "radical liberal policies like partial birth abortion."

Paladino supports Jane Corwin, another member of the upstate business community, who's family is behind The Talking Phonebook, a company that's credited with bringing more jobs to Western New York.

Corwin does hold a small lead over the competition in the latest Siena poll,  with 36 percent of voters supporting her compared to the 31 percent supporting Democrat Kathy Hochul.  Jack Davis, who is on the independent and the Tea Party line, has the support of 23 percent of voters.  The poll, conducted April 26 -27, includes responses from 484 likely voters with a margin of error of 4.5%.  The election is May 24.
