If Trump runs for Governor in NY as a GOP candidate he will win. I don't agree with what much Trump says but I hate Spitzer. And if Trump were the governor you can bet that Ground Zero would be rebuilt.
He is out of control, powerful, vindictive and possibly mentally ill based on descriptions of his behavior recently. He need to be given a sabatical IMHO.
I'm sorry. But there's no one that can stop Spitzer. So you might as well call him Governor. I know this is scary, But the Republicans have not put up a solid candidate to challenge him.
I'd go one step further. Forbid prosecutors from running for or holding any elective office, local, state or federal, for a period of ten years after they leave their current positions.
If these guys want to be politicians, don't hold an office where they can either ruin people's lives or ignore wrongdoing for political gain. If they want to be law enforcement, remove the political temptations.
Spitzer is a self defined "Howard Dean Democrat". He is much smarter than Howard Dean, and ten times as ruthless.
His ambition knows no bounds, and he is clearly aimed at President of the United States. Nothing stands in his way, most especially mere mortals whose destruction is necessary to further his vast ambition.
He is much smarter than Hillary, and does not have her obvious corruption as baggage. Hillary is more dangerous in the short and medium term, and stands a good chance of being our next President (especially if McCain is her running mate).
However, if Spitzer is elected Governor of New York (quite likely), he has a very good shot to be the Dem nominee for President at some time in the future. He will be VERY hard to beat, and VERY bad for the country.
This guy is pure poison, he's one of the most virulent anti-Second Amendment fanatics around. He wants every form of gun control you can imagine, including a 1,000% tax on bullets.

I honestly think the people of New York State do not know how evil this man truly is. Years ago I wrote him a letter because as AG he started an investigation into crisis pregnancy centers in the New York City area. Apparently his pals at Planned Parenthood were upset because a crisis pregnancy center had opened close to their facility and was probably taking away business (yes, God forbid the center would perform a sonogram on pregnant women so they could actually see the life inside of them). His response to my letter was pure evil legal nonsense. Satan surely has a big grip on this creatures soul!
Nice find. Thanks for the ping. Here's another Spitzer outrage.
Last March 20 Spitzer was absent from the St. Patrick's Day Parade when thousands upon thousands of potential voters lined up along Fifth Avenue.
But Spitzer is a lawyer, and lawyers know on which side of the bread the political butter is to be found. So Spitzer —the announced 2006 gubernatorial candidate - was at the Plaza hotel, addressing lawyers. And not just any lawyers----trial lawyers — legendarily lucrative sources of campaign cash — gathered for a conference to swap tips on how best to boost business by suing the pants off someone. The attendees paid $1,300 apiece to attend the event organized by renowned altruist . . . now-deceased Johnnie Cochran.
Another focus of the conference: blocking tort reform. President Bush dealt lawyers a blow when he won passage of the Class Action Fairness Act, which will crimp their ability to "shop around" their cases for the most sympathetic judges. Guess they're getting nervous.
