Jeez … I’d forgotten he was still running.

Still can’t believe this guy knocked off Cuomo…the real Democratic Cuomo–not the “faux Cuo” we have now. Bon Voyage, George.

[antisachetdethe]

He was in the race?

Former New York Gov. George Pataki (R) is calling his supporters in New Hampshire

World’s briefest phone call right there.

[antisachetdethe]

What’s really sad? The calls were made collect, and on a landline.

From The Nation magazine:

“Republican strategist Rick Wilson summed up the campaign’s chances best when he predicted that the sight of a Pataki victory was as likely as that of ‘a monkey flying out of a unicorn’s ass’….”

[originalbob]

It’s so weird when you haven’t heard anything about a non-contender in weeks – then there he is, announcing that he’s discovered he’s a non-contender, and it’s news.

[mantan]

[litho]

Wait! He was in?

[looby]

Rick Santorum surges to 12th place!

[antisachetdethe]

He’s pumped about it, too

[pb]

He was in?

Seriously though, there is simply no place in the nominating process for moderate RINOs like Pataki.

[pb]

He’s getting ready to whip up a bit of santorum.

[antisachetdethe]

A frothy proposition indeed.

[jeffrey]

Who?

yeah. the other day i saw the very same thing. i rarely see unicorns. it’s even rarer to see monkeys flying out of their asses. damndest thing, but this monkey had orange hair and was a dead ringer for donald trump and was screeching ted cruz sucks donkey dick. strange days.

Ok, let me break this situation down for you hanger on candidates: Kasich, Fiorina, Huckabee, Santorum, etc…the GOP supporters let the GOP establishment shrove “Mittens” down their throats the last Presidential election! And the one before that! And “That One” won both times… This cycle your GOP supporters are fed up and they are not going to be bamboozle by the establishment! They are going for cray cray,knuckle dragging, macho man tRump or “Canadian” Cruz (CC) or “I say dumb crap like my supporters” Carson!

@PB

moderate RINOs like Pataki.

Which shows us once egain how far the party of Lincoln has careened off the map to the right. Pataki was a corrupt, repressive jerk who made a perfect foil for Rudy Giuliani. But yeah, in today’s climate he’s a RINO.

WHAT!!!
Bye,bye
