Eight days before Election Day, the rhetoric was sharp and the attacks were personal, CBS2's Marcia Kramer reported.As she watched the campaign for governor on Monday, all she could think of was crime and punishment -- not the Dostoevsky novel, but the drama being played out across the state as both candidates try to convince voters about their commitment to crime, punishment and public safety.
There was an emotional mom-to-mom moment in the race as Hochul embraced a woman who lost her child to gun violence. "Help us. Help me help another another mother and another child who's in the street and has nowhere to go. Help me and Kathy's going to make that happen," Yvette Ramos said.
"Don't come here today and tell us you've got a tough-on-crime plan that's just soft and squishy on guns," Hochul said. Hochul was incensed about Zeldin's call to arm teachers during an appearance on Sunday on CBS2's political talk show,"Once you tell people you're going to do that, Lee Zeldin, guess who now knows they can walk into a school, get past the metal detectors because they know that there is gun is waiting for them that they can just take it to a classroom. That is the definition of insanity. That's what you get with Lee Zeldin," Hochul said.
