If the purpose of Governor Pataki’s last state-of-the-state speech was to set himself up for a run for national office, he certainly got off to a good start yesterday. His remarks were substantive and ambitious and portend well for a man who is now casting his eye toward places like Iowa and New Hampshire and the states that will loom large in the 2008 primary season. While we’ve had our disappointments and differences with the governor over the years, if we had to judge only on the basis of that speech, we’d say Mr. Pataki deserves a serious look as a vice presidential contender in 2008, though he no doubt is aiming higher.
