N.H. activist leaves Pataki for McCain
Former Dover City Councilor Matt Mayberry announced his support today for Arizona Senator John McCain, withdrawing his support for former New York Governor George Pataki.
Mayberry, a highly influential Republican activist known for being a "go-to" guy for candidate scheduling trips, had been one of Pataki's top supporters in New Hampshire.
He was also among those who attended a dinner a few weeks ago with Pataki at which Pataki told his supporters that he wouldn't be offended if they wanted to support other candidates while he takes his time making a decision about running for president.
