6. Very true. When George Pataki looks like a reasonable candidate, it means
the rest of the field is dangerouslly unstable and incompetent.

12. That's right..I forgot it
ol' paturki was gonna run for Pres after he ran New York into the ground. No excitement generated?

Never forget him frothing at the mouth down in Florida in 2000..screaming that the votes were Already counted. Imagine how happy a lot of us are to have Spitzer!

15. Yes. I'm hoping for dozens more of those smaller-scale changes for 08.
I think it's within reach, and we sure as hell need it!

17. Well, as chimpsrsmarter mentioned, Pataki actually doesn't look half bad
compared to the announced 8 yahoos and crooks...

On the other hand think of the mediocrity that would flood government if someone like Pataki were in the White House.

The horror. The horror.
