IMHO, he's unelectable in NY...,ore tot he point..the state has HUGE fiscal problems..and it's getting worse..better to get out now..
I agree with you regarding the governor's seat (although the Legislature and their relationship with the public schools is more to blame for the fiscal problems then Pataki), and he should get out now.
Surprisingly, it took the liberals in NY longer to destroy the state (fiscally) than it took the liberals in California.
