What's with George Pataki ?
He comes across as a whiner. His sad sack eyes make him appear as if he is in pain. I see nothing impressive about the man. How did he win the Governorship of NY?

He was just on Press & Buchanan show on MSNBC and he came across as nothing more than a butt buddy for George W Bush. He kept talking about the "great leadership" of Dubya. I kept waiting for someone to tell him that was his opinion but it isn't necessarily being proven by the polls. What are his accomplishments and what are his chances for getting re-elected in such a fine state as NY?

There. I said it.

2. He just got reelected last year
And was a real scumbag too. He ran ads with blue collar workers, implying he was pro union, and pro education.

Once he got reelected he discovered a growing deficit that forced him to cut back on areas that he campaigned on. He rarely if at all mentioned the budget problems during the campaign.

He used to be liberal, I believe he is pro choice, but since 9/11 he changed, he is nothing more than a loyal lapdog.
