George Pataki May Join GOP Field

Former New York Gov. George Pataki is reportedly close to announcing a run for the GOP presidential nomination.

He's pro-choice, pro-union and pro-gay marriage, so former Gov. George Pataki's plan to possibly join the red-meat pack vying for the GOP presidential nod drew puzzled looks Sunday. Those close to the three-term former governor said he was expected to enter the race for President, though no date has been set. Yet those who served in Albany during Pataki's tenure said the 66-year-old potential candidate was out of step with the anti-government, anti-spending, socially conservative GOP of 2011.

Pataki served three terms as New York governor.
