Pataki Making Friends

The AP reported that, "Pataki's latest filing with the Federal Election Commission for his federal 21st Century Freedom PAC shows the political action committee contributed $32,000 to 15 individual state Senate candidates in New Hampshire, another $10,000 to two state Senate GOP campaign committees there and $10,000 to the New Hampshire GOP." GOP Chairman Semprini said that Pataki is "developing a lot of good friends in New Hampshire." Maybe these connections and good will, will prove to be Pataki's secret weapon in the primary. If Pataki finishes third behind McCain and Romney, will the media see this has a victory and the momentum would slingshot Pataki into South Carolina?
