NPR's Robert Siegel talks to Nicholas Confessore of the New York Times about the race for the New York governor's office and the U.S. Senate. In the governors' race, Democrat and state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is competing with Republican and Tea Party favorite Carl Paladino. In the U.S. Senate race, Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, who stood in for Hillary Clinton two years ago, is running against Joe DioGuardi, an accountant and self-described "citizen activist."
