I see it a little different - Rudy joins the presidential ticket, and Pataki takes on Chuckie. But, what do I know?

I don't see Rudy on the national ticket. His popularity aside, his semi-liberal social positions wouldn't fly well with the right. I see him taking on Chuckie in '04 (with Bush leading the way in a landslide), which clears the path for Pataki to slay the Hildebeast in '06, which would be the end of his 3rd term in Albany. I could be wrong.

Pataki is a worthless liberal!!! Do you not remember the "Pataki 5 Point Plan"? That illegal, socialist gun control is even stronger and more liberally written than the illegal Federal legislation it was supposed to mirror. Pataki will be no different than Schumer; he's another big government, anti-gun, pro-abortion liberal with aspirations of grandeur.

montag, are you in NY?? Schumer must be defeated.

Pataki won't step down in mind term for a senatorial race. I bet gulliani against Chuckie and Pataki (Powell?) against Hillary in 06. Both try for the Republican nomination in '08.
