James Pindell of Primary Source has a couple interesting items today.
Former New York Governor George Pataki packs up his New Hampshire office and puts it up on craigslist.
To a lot of fanfare last fall, former New York Governor George Pataki opened a New Hampshire office for his political action committee. He was the first potential presidential candidate to open an office in the state and for a long time he was the only one.
But in recent months he packed up his Manchester office and moved it to his hometown of Peekskill, N.Y., where his PAC is now based. And as for the Manchester office, it is now available for any other presidential candidate.
In fact, the listing is on Craigslist.
Does this mean that support in New Hampshire lacky for George Pataki? Polling shows the former New York governor with little support across the board — highest polled support is three percent, mostly one point showings, and a lot of goose eggs.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul may not be sparking much interest with Republicans in early polling but he has libertarians fawning over a potential Paul candidacy.
Paul will be the keynote speaker at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum on February 25 — an event sponsored by libertarian activsts — that includes the 2004 Libertarian presidential candidate, Michael Bednarik.
In 1988, Paul was the Libertarian Party’s candidate.
If Paul keeps this up, one may question which party’s nomination he intends to seek in 2008. It would be a development welcomed by John Cox supporters, however.

Something to say?
Ron Paul will appeal to the Republican conservatives who also recognize that the States’ rights to decide their own issues is what the founding fathers really intended.
But as a pro-life candidate he may only get the support of us Catholics, rather than any pro-abortion Libertarians.
