Good morning, readers. Let’s start out our 2014 election day coverage looking ahead to the 2016 election, shall we? Get a load of this:
2016 officially starts Wednesday, when a pro-Pataki super PAC is set to start running ads in New Hampshire: http://t.co/LTGRjzb7Ka

Well, let’s not go that far, but “Pataki for President” has become somewhat of the proverbial dog that won’t hunt:

The 2000, 2008, or 2012 pretending phase is in full swing MT @PostRoz @mateagold reports pro-Pataki super PAC will go on air in NH on Wed.

But, hey … at least we can have a good laugh at some of the reactions to this big Pataki news:
"Pataki" and "Groundswell" go together worse than "Gourmet" and "potted meat."

His mom. RT @kerpen: WHO KEEPS TELLING PATAKI TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT???

First Term Pataki: Great
Second Term Pataki: Mediocre
Third Term Pataki: Bad
President Pataki: LOL— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) November 4, 2014

And then there’s this epic photoshop that nails the hype of a Pataki 2016 bid perfectly:

Hahahahahah!
It's a horrible photoshop, but Pataki is (almost certainly) a horrible option for 2016 so it's fitting.

Yes, it is fitting.
