* * * Eliot Spitzer New York state attorney general # Born: June 12, 1959, Bronx, N.Y. # Resides: Manhattan, N.Y. # Significance: High-profile corporate crime buster is leading Democrat candidate for governor of New York. Since taking office in 1999, Spitzer has aggressively probed white-collar crime on Wall Street. Prosecuted Midwest power companies for alleged pollution (appeasing environmentalists) and businesses for supposedly violating workers' rights (appeasing labor unions). # Quotable: "I bring people together whether they like it or not and we tackle complex problems--not with Band-Aid solutions, but with major reform and real change. We did it in the financial industry and other sectors and we can do it in government." (Announcing his gubernatorial candidacy, Dec. 7, 2004)

clinton reborn in NY.

On a side note, welcome to FR even though you've been here since November. I checked you're home page and you're a young breath of fresh air. Make sure (within reason) your brother follows in your footsteps. See you on the board! b4

If you want to be trampled to death, get between a microphone and mini-moron, power-mad Elliot Spitzer. He is single handedly destroying tens of thousands of high-paying financial service industry jobs in NY.
