ALBANY, July 26 – Gov. George E. Pataki told a group of supporters and aides on Tuesday night that he would not seek a fourth term as governor after abruptly summoning them to the governor’s mansion, according to two people who attended the meeting.
Mr. Pataki’s announcement came as polls showed him trailing Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, the Democrat who hopes to succeed him as governor. But it sets the stage for Mr. Pataki to explore a possible run for president in 2008.
Sorry. Just can’t take “Pataki ‘08″/”Pataki for President” seriously.
