In an interview with Alan Colmes last night, New York Republican gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino said that his Democratic opponent Attorney General Andrew Cuomo “should be in jail, because he allowed [Steve] Rattner to walk.”

Rattner, former “car czar” for the Obama Administration, was accused of being involved in a New York pension fund scam that was under criminal investigation in April 2009. And Paladino said he would “absolutely” have Cuomo prosecuted if elected governor.

Watch:

This probably won’t help Paladino’s image as a “loose cannon,” which is how 61% of likely voters view him, according to a Siena poll released today.

The TPM Poll Average shows Cuomo leading 53.2%-37.7%.
