Eliot Spitzer Wants Back In Politics

Reuters.com:

Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer told Fortune that he will not rule out another run for public office.

Spitzer resigned his office in 2008 after an embarrassing prostitution scandal. He became governor after serving as attorney general with investigations into cases involving tainted Wall Street research and fraud.

"I love politics," Spitzer told Fortune last month. "The substance, the debate about the issues ..."

As for a race in 2010, Spitzer said it is "just hard to see," adding, "I've never said I would never consider running for office again."

Since leaving office, Spitzer has re-established himself by writing columns at the online magazine Slate and teaching. He told Fortune that he is in "unceasing agony" and "incredibly frustrated" over no longer being "where I would like to be" -- which is finishing his first term as governor.

Cheating bastard. Be fun to see him run against Kirsten Gillibrand tho, nothing like some liberal-on-liberal violence to sit back and watch.
