Pataki's campaign manager Adam Stoll, characterized Golisano's actions as a publicity stunt.
"Tom Golisano's strange campaign is ending on a stranger note," Stoll said.
McCall, leaving an appearance at Wayside Baptist Church in Brooklyn, said he had not given much thought to Golisano's TV address.
"I don't know why we spent so much time being distracted," he said.Although many Democrats had hoped Golisano would announce that he was exiting the race and backing McCall, "I never thought he was," McCall said.
Asked if he was disappointed, McCall responded, "In what?In our race?I'm not at all disappointed in our race.I think my race is going very well."
Earlier in the day, he was not so positive, criticizing the Democratic National Committee during a stop at at Amy Ruth's, a Harlem soul food restaurant Pataki had also visited in the past week.
"I'm not happy with what the party's done for me," said McCall, who until two weeks ago was still waiting for half the money the DNC had promised him for the campaign.
