On Aug. 3 former Gov. George Pataki (center) participated in a New Hampshire Republican debate. Pataki did not make the cut for the prime time national debate organized by Fox News, which is headed by fellow Garrison resident Roger Ailes. Participation in the Thursday Aug. 6. event was based on polling data. Pataki was eligible however for the so- called “undercard” (boxing term) debate held earlier at 5 p.m. also run by Fox. Not being excluded entirely by Fox will perhaps avoid awkwardness at the farmer’s market.
