(CNN) -- Former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and his son, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo, endorsed Sen. John Kerry for president Saturday.

"It seems to me he has everything it takes to make a really great candidate," Mario Cuomo told reporters in a conference call. "I'm delighted and pleased we're endorsing him, and I'll do everything I can to help."

Andrew Cuomo extolled Kerry's agenda for the economic empowerment of urban areas as "very impressive."

Citing Kerry's "innovative housing proposals," the younger Cuomo, who served in the Clinton administration, said "his future agenda is even more impressive when it's backed by his past performance, so it's my pleasure to endorse him."

1. My dad is 86

and he has always said that Mario Cuomo was the smartest man alive.

My dad, a die hard Dem, is correct.

But personally, I think my dad is the smartest.

2. They're both smart

Mario Cuomo is brilliant. I'm sorry he didn't take a Supreme Court seat when he had the chance.

I worked on his first campaign for Governor. He's amazing.

This is good news for Kerry supporters. Mario Cuomo is one of America's great liberals. His support for Kerry speaks volumes about Kerry's credentials.
