Pataki is pro-choice, and religious conservatives enjoy something of a de facto veto over an unacceptable Presidential candidate. The Giuliani of 2008 was different; the GOP was hard-pressed to win and Giuliani was still somewhat heroic. By 2012, the GOP was more confident that it could possibly beat Obama, and a pro-choice Republcan was just not going to make it.
Besides all that, Pataki is boring. There's no compelling reason to want him to be President. He's a Cabinet Secretary. He's not even a VP choice. He was an OK Governor of NY State with no star quality whatsoever. He's also an example of how the Mayor of NYC often outshines the Governor of NY State.
