FileNew York - Former Gov. George Pataki, perhaps the most popular Republican in New York, is endorsing Rick Lazio in his GOP bid for governor this year.
Pataki is scheduled to make the endorsement Wednesday afternoon in Manhattan.
Lazio is a former congressman from Long Island who has collected endorsements from most Republican county chairmen and many Conservative Party leaders around the state.
Lazio spokesman Barney Keller says Pataki’s backing is another indication Lazio has support to, as he put it, sweep clean the dysfunction in Albany.
Pataki, who retired as governor four years ago, is considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. The polls show Pataki has strong support statewide for a return to politics.

U libs said the same about Spitzer when he was running for gov. 'He's fighting crime, corruption, bla bla bla'... He came from the AG office and left the gov office after a terrible scandal. And now the history is just repeating itself with Paterson.
We need the GOP back in Albany. The media called Pataki 'lameduck' in his last trimester as gov, the fact shows that we are in much worse situation now with all those c
orrupt politician that were supposedly gonna implement reform in Albany...
