New York 'Pug candidate for governor sends STINK BOMBS to voters.

[Ken Burch]

New York (CNN) – Whew!! Something stinks! But before you run to take out the trash, check the stack of mail you just carried inside.

A few thousand New York household received an odoriferous gift in the mail from Carl Paladino, the Republican nominee for governor – and it doesn't smell like roses.

Paladino's campaign mailed out garbage-scented fliers declaring "Something Stinks in Albany" and featuring photos of seven New York Democrats whose political careers were marred by scandal.

"It's basically a folder and then when you open it, when the oxygen hits the card the stink starts," Paladino explained to Anderson Cooper on "AC360" Thursday night.

Brilliant logic there: associate your campaign, in the voters' minds, with STENCH.

1. Well, that'll get the voters excited.

But not in a good way.

I can't imagine voting for some knucklehead that sent me a piece of mail that stunk up my house.

4. Influencing people and making friends wherever he goes!

Good thing he isn't running for a position on the Sewage Treatment Board of Supervisors. (I don't know if there is such a position, but I'd vote against him for that, too.)

He probably should have just stuck to sending out porn.

5. It should say "Hey folks I stink too".
