George Pataki drops presidential bid

Republican candidate George Pataki yesterday ended his presidential campaign.

"While tonight is the end of my journey for the White House as I suspend my campaign for president, I am confident we can elect the right person," Pataki said in video posted on his Twitter and Facebook accounts. "Someone who will bring us together and who understands that politicians, including the president, must be the people's servant and not their master. I know the best of America is still ahead of us."

Pataki never broke single digits in polling or qualified for prime-time debates. He had hoped to utilize his experience as New York governor during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
