NORTH COUNTRY, N.Y. -- The endorsements keep coming in. Former governor George Pataki is now throwing his support behind Doug Hoffman.

Pataki, a long-time republican, said he believes the conservative candidate will stand up to the current leaders in Washington.

Pataki said, "Hoffman understands the need to lower taxes on working families, the need to stand tall against terror and he won't back phony stimulus programs that fail to create jobs we need and leaves a mountain of debt to our children."
