Dems in NY Backing Pataki
Major Democrats in New York, including former Democratic Governor Hugh Carey, are crossing party lines to back incumbent George Pataki in the New York Governor's race.
Other prominent New York Democrats for Pataki include "former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, former Queens Borough President Claire Shulman [and] state Senator Olga Mendez." The Chinatown Democratic Club and the New Era Democrats are also behind Pataki.
Our view: He has done a good job for New York, but until he keeps his promise on repealing the state's appallingly unfair and draconian Rockefeller drug laws, we don't think he deserves an endorsement.
