Pataki also criticized Walker's ISIS/union demonstrators analogy at a firefighters union event this week:

so he seems to be aiming for the niche of "GOP critic 'from the left'".

Though he might have some competition from fellow New Yorker Peter King:

If he ever gets any real traction, I'll be switching my endorsement.

So, he's trying to be like Huntsman in 2012. I'm not sure how well that will work out for him, but I wish him the best of luck. Being from NY might help somewhat with NH, but I don't see him winning it (he may beat Huntsman's 15% though if he targets NH exclusively and does well enough in the debates, etc.).

So will Pataki end up becoming the anti-Jindal? Instead of "me too!", he says "not me!"?

Good to see him calling them out on their little stunt.

FF.

I am somewhat neutral on his gubernatorial tenure, but his comments in this field move him in mild FF territory.

So like Huntsman, he will play the sane right-winger whose campaign goes nowh.. Wait, this is Pataki we're talking about, we already knew his campaign will go nowhere.

It's good he made these comments,  I doubt he had much of chance at the nomination anyway.
