Look I am from this slime hole NY....I live with Liberal Democrats and almost equally liberal Republicans. I have printed in the past why Pataki should never get national office and this also goes for Rudy: ....Believe it or not, lovers of liberty, the constitution and more specifically the 2nd amendment were better off under Cuomo. For the first 2 of his 3 winning election, I received pro Pataki literature from the NRA including "Support Freedom, Elect Pataki" bumper stickers. Cuomo being a dyed in the wool anti gunner. Funny thing happened in his second term....Pataki turned on his constituency and proposed and received draconian gun bills that layered more repression upon us already repressed NY gun owners. Previously when Mr. Cuomo would propose like measures, he would receive backing of the Democrat assembly, but the upstate dominant Republican state senate would stone wall his attempts leaving them in limbo. Of course with their own boy in the governors mansion, the State Senate shooed these awful bills into law. Last election I voted for the third party clown Galisano as my protest vote. The democrat candidate would have at least elicited gridlock....far better than what we got with Pataki. Pataki for president???? not as standard barer of the Republican party...never happened never will....(and that goes for Rudy too)

I just said, we'll see.... what happens.

The debate will be interesting, and those who throw up their hands, format their posts into unreadable bold, and run around like their heads have been cut off will all have a place in the debate.

For me, it's really too early in the process to know which candidate to break a sweat about.

We'll see.
