4 Comments I am told reliably, but have not yet confirmed, that Governor George Pataki endorsed Doug Hoffman tonight at a Conservative Party event.
As Matt Drudge would say: Developing . . .
If this is so, this is huge. Pataki routinely won NY-23 by huge margins. He remains quite popular up there.
Ping
Oh my.
What’s stopping you? Go help him!
Congratulations to Pataki, if true.
LOL! Meant to say “IT” could really help him. Forgot to press to press the “T” really hard on my keyboard.
This probably means Pataki will be running for U.S.Senate. Good for him.
Good post. Some of these threads will take off after the Baseball is over.

That is a good template for Bond posts/links
I have no great love for Pataki. A Conservative he AIN’T. But the endorsement of Hoffman is welcome if it will halp him in NY-23. I suspect, if true, Pataki does indeed plan on a Senate run. Interesting....
I’ve done linked webpages before, but we have so much that I forget about them, lol.

“”UPDATE: IT IS CONFIRMED. Gov. George Pataki has endorsed Doug Hoffman for the United States Congress.
Pataki’s statement:
Statement from Governor George E. Pataki
As someone personally engaged in the way of life in the Adirondacks and Northern New York, I’m deeply concerned about the course of our nation and the outcome of the election in the 23rd Congressional District.
Simply put, we cannot afford to give another vote to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. We cannot afford another vote for higher taxes, we cannot afford another vote for government run health care and we absolutely cannot afford another vote to take away from hard working men and women the right to secret ballot.
That is why tonight, I’m proud to endorse Doug Hoffman, a Republican, running on the Conservative line for Congress in the 23rd Congressional District.
Doug Hoffman will stand up to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. He will fight for all the residents of northern New York. He will fight for our proud servicemen and women at Fort Drum, our dairy farmers in Lowville and our manufacturers in Plattsburgh.
As a businessman, and as a life-long resident of the North Country Doug 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 the jobs we need and leaves a mountain of debt to our children.
When elected to Congress Doug will work to reduce our taxes, he will stand tall against those who despise our freedoms and he will be a vigilant stalwart against those who would substitute government programs for individual initiative.
And Doug Hoffman can win.
I urge all the voters of the 23rd Congressional District – Republican Democrat, Independent and Conservative to come out and vote for Doug Hoffman for Congress. “”

Putting them in distinct folders helps
I have many things in my Pictures in my computer that ‘could’ fit in several categories of folders. Unless I put a copy of the same item in each folder I have to search, lol.
Surprising, because Pataki’s own wife is a virtual clone of Scuzzifavabeans—a frequent Planned Parenthood fundraiser and overall abortion-loving vampire.
Quite the set of figures on either side of this battle line.
