President Pataki?' The Former NY Gov Is Sounding A Lot Like A Candidate

Is the GOP waiting for TX Gov Rick Perry or NJ Gov Chris Christie to jump into the race for the White House? Maybe, but there is another candidate with significant gubernatorial experience who may be ready to "get in the game" - Former NY Governor George Pataki.
