...Association winter meeting, they may fondly remember the days before former Governor George W. Bush became the ubiquitous Dubya. After Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America tanked, the G.O.P. reinvented itself with a wave of moderate Republican governors at its helm—most notably Bush, George E. Pataki (New York), George H. Ryan (Illinois) and John M. Engler (Michigan). But now that the prodigal son has graduated from Texas to oversee the federal government in Washington, he seems to be putting the squeeze on his closest of ideological...
...pretense that President Bush isn't thinking about politics was ended last week when he launched a robust schedule of campaigning for G.O.P. candidates. In New York City the President attended two fund raisers for New York Governor George Pataki and met privately with Edward Cardinal Egan, fostering ties to the Roman Catholic community that Bush's advisers believe are crucial to his political success.

Bloomberg opposes the creation of a separate agency to guide the city's rebuilding, something Giuliani and Governor George Pataki support. Last week he estimated the city's fiscal 2003 deficit at $2.5 billion, when many analysts put it at $4 billion. He has no experience dealing with unions--Bloomberg LP is a nonunion shop--but will have to make punishing cuts in the city's work force. Already, though...
...McGreevey?s lead, while substantial, is not immune to an election day surprise, as New York Governor George Pataki reminded Republican voters over the weekend. Pataki himself was expected to lose the 1994 gubernatorial race to Mario Cuomo; he wound up winning in an upset. Sunday, McGreevey left his last-minute campaign schedule to be with his wife, who is in stable condition after being hospitalized with complications from her pregnancy...
