Pataki Isn't Joining New York Senate Race

Former New York Republican Gov. George E. Pataki has decided not to mount an election challenge against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand this fall.

Instead, he said in an interview Tuesday that he would create a new national organization aimed at building support to repeal the recently enacted health-care overhaul.

Mr. Pataki's decision to bypass the Senate race marks another major coup for Ms. Gillibrand, who has been enormously successful in knocking out competition on both sides of the aisle despite appearing to be vulnerable politically.

2. It looks as if we hold this blue seat. Senator Gillibrand has evidently

got some serious political chops.

I'm impressed.

8. Hi, CK_John. In truth I would not have chosen her as a first-choice,

but she looks to me like she's ready to tumble with the big boys.

And I say good for her.

4. Pataki is going to run for the GOP presidential ticket via

the Palin strategy.

10. So instead of entering the Senate race he's going to do the political equivalent

of bashing his head repeatedly against a brick wall.

What a moron.
