It is being reported by NewsMax, that the former Republican Governor of New York, George Pataki, is considering a run for United States Senator against Senator Gillibrand next year, not to mention Pataki also stated that Giuliani is also looking at a possible 2010 Gubernatorial run as well.
While I do not agree with Pataki on 100% of the issues, I would rather have a Senator I agree with 70% of the time, and who will actually bring some Republican and shades of Conservatism to the table, instead of a liberal hypocrite like Gillibrand, who Matt believes might have committed career suicide last week - http://jumpinginpools.blogspot.com/2009/09/did-gillibrand-commit-career-suicide.html
