Manhattan "Madam" would challenge Spitzer if he ran for office

By GottaLaff

Let the one-liners begin:

Kristin Davis -- the Manhattan "Madam" who provided former New York Gov Eliot Spitzer (D) with "escorts" -- says she might run against him if he attempts a political comeback.

Writes Davis: "If he runs for public office I may have to run myself to focus attention on the multiple illegal acts for which he has not been punished, his abuse of women and the SEXISM in the way he walked away scot free while I went to Rikers for four months for supplying him with 'company'."

Is this a trick? Or is he screwed? You can be cock-sure this will be, at minimum, a hotbed of soundbites. Suck on that for awhile, if you will.

Some comeback.

Can we put this one to bed now?

Poll-itics: Eliot Spitzer's prospects

By GottaLaff

Earlier today, Paddy posted about Eliot Spitzer's mulling a comeback. While he's at it, he might want to mull this:

With Eliot Spitzer reportedly considering a comeback, a new SurveyUSA poll in New York looks at his electoral prospects.

The poll finds that 15% of voters said they'd vote for Spitzer again no matter what office he sought, 47% said they might vote for him and 39% would never vote for him under any circumstances.

That's 62% who would consider him seriously. I know 'cause I did the math.
