As WCBS 880′s Peter Haskell and CBS 2′s Marcia Kramer reported, the former governor’s return to the campaign trail was not without hecklers, shouting things such as the following:

“Spitzer, you cheated on your wife!”

“You betrayed your constituents. You abandoned your wife. You betrayed everybody!”

“This is about power. You just want power, man. If you want public service go volunteer somewhere!”

“Did you leave your black socks on?”

Spitzer appeared to take it in stride, as if he expected it.

“This is what I look forward to — dealing with the public,” said Spitzer. “This is New York. You know when we go to a ballpark we heckle the pitcher who throws one bad pitch. We have a little bit of the heckler in each one of us. At a certain point it passes the line of decorum, but this is New York. This is politics. I’m game for it. I got skin as thick as a rhinoceros so I’m ready for anything.”

“Are you going to run with your Weiner buddy?”

The typical smart, savvy and above normal in intelligence New Yorker will vote these two in with a landslide.

“Are you going to run with your Weiner buddy?”

Add a comma after "Weiner," and you get an entirely different question.
