Gov Crowds Ballot Lines
ALBANY
 ndependence Party operatives said last night that Gov.
Pataki has the party's line cinched for November, giving the
Republican three ballot spots.
Pataki has already locked up the Republican and Conservative
lines.
The Independence Party was founded eight years ago by billionaire
businessman Tom Golisano of Rochester, who lost to Pataki on the
line in 1994 and 1998. Golisano, who said he is leaning toward
running for governor again, criticized the party for backing
Pataki.
Third party lines have also become an issue in the heated
Democratic gubernatorial primary. State Controller Carl McCall urged
rival Andrew Cuomo to forsake the support of the Liberal Party.
