hopeless candidacies

Completely Illogical George Pataki Run Could Actually Happen Soon

Both NY1 and the Daily News are reporting that 66-year-old former New York governor George Pataki, who has been one of the seemingly dozens of politicians lazily flirting with a presidential run over the past few months, may actually enter the race in the near future. Rumors be damned, though, we’ll believe it when we see it. What is the rationale behind this candidacy? Pataki is against Obamacare and debt? Well, so is every other Republican running for president. He’s also pro-choice and has barely existed in the public consciousness since his governorship ended over four years ago. There has to be better ways for him to spend his time — grandkids, fishing, etc.
