Pataki hires fundraiser

Let's be honest... in order to be president of the United States you need a kick-ass fundraising director. Now, I know the Republican governor in New York, George Pataki really wants to be President. Therefore, it was interesting to see hire a former aid to Dick Cheney as finance director for his Virginia-based 21st Century Freedom PAC. The Boston Globe reports:

A former political director for Cheney, [Kara] Ahern was northeast finance director for the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign in 2004 and was a chief fundraiser for Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey's unsuccessful run for governor this year in Massachusetts.

The PAC pays for Pataki's travel around the country and makes donations to other GOP candidates.
