What a shock that Spitzer is planning on running for Governor! From an article in the Wall Street Journal dated 12/7: "Behind his growing clout is a bundle of contradictions. He has the ultimate insider's wealthy upbringing and elite educational credentials. Yet he inherited an immigrant mentality from his father and professes an affinity for people without influence and money. Mr. Spitzer rails against corporate abuses, but some accuse him of using abusive legal tactics. He sends his lawyers to do battle on behalf of the disadvantaged but hires mostly Harvard and Yale law-school graduates. The Harvard Law School-educated son of a wealthy New York City developer, Mr. Spitzer 's path to the Democratic nomination was eased considerably last month when newly re-elected Sen. Charles Schumer said he would stay in Washington rather than run for governor. He was considered Mr. Spitzer 's chief competition...... But his activities have drawn criticism that he is most interested in headlines. Pataki spokeswoman Lisa DeWald Stoll once said of the attorney general: "We all know that A.G. stands for aspiring governor."
