Republican candidate for governor Carl Paladino is ruling out a third-party candidacy if he loses to Rick Lazio in a GOP primary battle this September.

“If we don't win the Republican primary we're going to be gone at that point, because we're not going to be a spoiler to someone running against Andrew Cuomo and taking him down,’’ Paladino says in an interview on “Inside City Hall.” “Andrew Cuomo is the poster child for everything that the people don't want in government anymore."

A political maverick, Paladino had previously talked about running as a third-party candidate in November.
