Lazio announces his intent to announce 2010 gov run - Capitol Confidential - New York Politics - timesunion.com - Albany NY

And the first hat is thrown into the ring. Lazio's announcement of his
announcement sets next year's governor's race off to an interesting
start. That's because the GOP stalwart - who last ran against Hillary
Clinton for the Senate - stepped to the plate before hometown GOP
favorite Rudy Guiliani has decided whether or not to do the same. If
he does that means that Lazio will have to square off with Anerica's
Mayor for the nomination - certainly not a prospect he relishes. And
that's to say nothing about how he would fare against Dem favorite
Andrew Cuomo, expected by many to snatch the nomination from the
seemingly hapless governor Paterson. Which begs the question of
whether this is shrewd political timing or the desperate act of a
doomed man?!? Only time will tell.
