What is Pataki’s role for the GOPe’s?
He does not have a prayer of winning, so what is role?
Pataki’s claim to fame in NY is that he doubled the state’s budget. He gave away the store. His Empire Zone and STAR tax exemption were the perfect GOP-e shell game. He is there to syphon the BS republican party votes to Jeb Bush.
He accomplished two things while governor—he beat a 3 term flaming liberal Mario Cuomo as a mostly unknown mayor of Peekskill with the help of Al D’Amato and he re-instituted the death penalty only to have the Appellate Court throw it out as being “cruel”.
Useless GOP-e governor who gave us Eliot Spitzer and now Mario Jr.
