	Betsy McCaughey Ross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Betsy McCaughey Ross (born on October 20, 1948, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) was the lieutenant-governor of the State of New York from 1995 to 1999, during the first term of Republican Governor George Pataki.
		McCaughey, a political newcomer at the time of her election, surprised Republican Party insiders by publicly criticizing the Pataki administration.
		Ross was the early frontrunner for her new party, in part because of her statewide name recognition and money from her millionaire husband.

		Betsy Ross died in Philadelphia at the age of 84 and was buried at the Free Quaker burial ground.

		Ross' nomination would be a blow to New York Democrats, not because of her recent defection from the Republicans or her apparent lack of political experience at this level, but rather because she comes across as unstable to the bulk of New Yorkers.
		While Ross said that this incident was simply her stamp of approval on the speech, many saw it as an attempt to grandstand at the governor's expense.
		Ross has been a notorious outsider from the Pataki administration, a role which likely prompted her defection to the Democrats and her history of failing to keep her cool in pressure situations are also well documented.
