With Pataki Looking to '08 Instead of '06 ...

I'd be worried if I was a New Yorker. For the last 11 years the governor has had to engage in behavior that would win the support of the voters of New York. Now the key group he needs to achieve political success is different. Really different. In trying to win the support of national Republican party activists, well, the governor's veto of the morning-after pill bill could just be the start of remarkably more right-wing behavior. Pataki's still got about a year and a half in office to act this way. So gays, pro-choice groups and other perceived enemies of the Republican activists better watch their collective backs. You'd have to expect they'll be the targets of his wrath as he does what he can to convince people that he's not too moderate to get the Republican presidential nomination.
