Frist/Pataki
Posted on 03/29/2005 5:43:39 AM PST by COUNTrecount
March 29, 2005 -- ALBANY — Gov. Pataki has decided not to seek another term next year and will concentrate instead on a bid for the vice-presidential nomination in 2008, a report last night said. The New York 1 report — which cited unnamed "sources" saying the governor had told friends of his decision — was quickly denied by Pataki's chief spokesman, David Catalfamo.

"and will concentrate instead on a bid for the vice-presidential nomination in 2008,"
Good Grief. Hope those hopes are dashed quickly.
How dynamic would a Frist /Pataki ticket be? /yes sarcasm
"Gov. Pataki .... will concentrate instead on a bid for the vice-presidential nomination in 2008..."
Bwahahaha!!
This puts a whole new meaning on setting high goals for oneself, doesn't it?
"Son what do want to be when you grow up? President?"
"No, dad -- Vice-President!"
OMG! I can feeeeel the energy NOW!
Frist-Pataki, hold me down. Where can I send money?
more sarcasm :-)
Yeah that's just what people want to follow the magnificent W... a RINO
I wouldn't vote for Pataki for rat catcher.
This is one of the guys, along with Pete Wilson, who tried to split the party by forcing the RNC to drop the pro-life plank.
On top of that, he is a total incompetent, who has been little more than a vegetable in office.
Pataki did not FIGHT for Republican-ism.
There is no such thing in NY State as a CONSERVATIVE.
He let the DEMS, pressure him in bad policy.
He had no PR ratings.
Too Bad !!
I believe he is not seeking another term because he knows he has no chance to win.
Frist/Pataki
I'm falling asleep just thinking about it.
PLus the NY Senate is heavily democratic. The Assembly is Republican, but has a much weaker voice.
Why should he run for Governor again? He has already reigned in Albany while ignoring extensive decline in the Republican party statewide and doing nothing about it. He won the last election by making expensive deals with the teachers and service workers unions; part of which has helped contribute extra billions to NY state's already bloated Medicare costs.
Now he wants an opportunity to do the same for the Republicans at the national level?!?
Hopefully he will not even get a chance to speak at the convention - zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
The Assembly is heavily Democrat, the Senate is heavily Republican, both are equally strong. Tough to do anything with that.
ping!
hahhahahahahahahahaha
I wish I could explain why it is that every time I see his name in a headline, I initially read "Pakistani."

Spitzer Crushes Pataki in New Poll
Eliot Spitzer (D) "would convincingly defeat" New York Gov. George Pataki (R) "if the election were held today," a new Zogby New York poll finds, "with the Democratic attorney general leading the incumbent Republican by 18 points."
"I wish I could explain why it is that every time I see his name in a headline, I initially read "Pakistani."
Must make for some interesting headlines.........
At last, he has found a role which can be downsized to suit his marginal capabilities.

He know he won't get the VP slot either, but he will get national exposure. Pataki wants CASH. Being a legitimate candidate he will get the exposure he needs to request $50,000+ speaking fees, enough to have an easy life making easy cash. That's what this is all about.
