What about Pataki?
Why don't more people pay attention to a person you'd think would be a major GOP presidential hopeful -- former three-term New York Gov. George Pataki, a very successful chief executive of a very big state?
He's running for president, but New Jersey's Chris Christie, a not very successful governor, gets about 95 percent of the attention from those who think that a Northeast Republican could actually win the nomination of a party now mostly run from the South.
