“Scott Walker is in”.
And now he is out.
Speaking of George Pataki, he is pretty moderate and sane. His low standing on polls is due to him not really standing out in terms of personality. His resume is pretty sound as well, a three term Republican governor in a blue state like New York. A state that is the third largest economy after California and Texas. Ideally Pataki should be at or near the top. Conservative on the economy and moderate socially, he is the ideal type to go and possibly beat the Democrats in Nov 2016.
