Lazio Drops Out of NY Governor's Race
Rick Lazio has dropped out of the New York governor’s race.
Lazio lost the Republican primary earlier this month to Carl Paladino, but won the Conservative Party’s votes.
"And, while my heart beckons me forward, my head tells me that my continued presence on the Conservative line would simply lead to the election of Andrew Cuomo and the continuation of an entrenched political machine," Lazio said in a news conference.
But that doesn’t mean Lazio is endorsing Paladino. He says he’s not convinced that Paladino will improve the state either.
