New York State has been airing television commercials promoting Lower Manhattan, starring Pataki in NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, D.C., Philadelphia, San Franciso, Boston, Atlanta... obviously a move to bolster his image.
That waste of taxpayer money will end after Spitzer destroys Pataki in the 2006 election.
Are you that stupid.
NYC needs tourism and really must promote after 9/11. It's like Rendell promoting Phila; it helps the economy.
I'll add that the "I love New York" -type campaigns have been going on for at least 20 years,
if not longer.
