Former NY Governor George Pataki Launches Presidential Bid 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
Former three-term New York Governor George Pataki has officially
announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. In a
speech announcing his bid, Pataki took aim at Hillary Clinton, claiming
Democrats are the "party of privilege."

George Pataki: "We are the party of the middle class, unless by middle
class they mean someone who left the White House dead broke and 10 years
later had $100 million, unless by middle class they mean someone who
charges a poor country $500,000 for a half-hour speech. That's their
party's candidate."
