Eliot Spitzer, who stepped down from the governor's office amid scandal, is now strongly considering a run for state comptroller....

Spitzer has in recent weeks had discussions with some Democratic donors and insiders about the position currently held by Tom DiNapoli....

A Democrat who spoke with Spitzer said, "He's seriously thinking about it."

"He wants to run if he can," said another source. "He's still talking about it."

Gov. Paterson backed the idea.

I'm surprised. He's used to high priced Manhattan call girls. Does Comptroller get you anything more than a Bronx streetwalker?

His family has a ton of money. He’s not in it for the money.

Spitzer was involved with Organized Crime. Why doesn’t that matter to the powers that be? The other day they Bruno was found guilty on some charges. What about Spitzer? Democrats are corrupt.

Can someone so corrupt and depraved run again for public office? Only in America.

What has Spitzer done to rehabilitate his image? Nothing that I'm aware of. Yet here he is wanting to jump right back into the spotlight, albeit on a lower level. Talk about chutzpah.

Well, maybe the Dems believe that if he runs and gets like 43 votes that he might finally understand that he has absolutely NO political future.

I feel sorry for his daughters, though - you'd think that at least for their sakes that he'd crawl away into insignificant anonymity.

For a sociopath, that is not even a consideration.

This dirtbag is like a Kennedy. He thinks a public office is his birthright.

“I hope he runs! A slam dunk for us if he does.”

Damn straight. Vote Spitzer. Not only a womanizing whore chaser, but also a phony “crusader” with psychotic, megalomaniacal delusions of righteousness. Do it—or he’ll have state troopers digging through your garbage!

A thread like this is not complete without pics of his hot babe, or babes, that brought about his downfall.
