From the NY Post:
After launching a column on Slate.com, and giving interviews to National Public Radio and the “Today” show, the sources say, the disgraced former governor told friends: “My record as governor was disappointing, but the voters will remember my excellent two terms as attorney general.”
The sources say Spitzer, forever tarnished as Client No. 9 of a prostitution agency, expects Andrew Cuomo to run for governor next year, leaving open the AG job. Several Democrats are already being mentioned as potential candidates, including Nassau County Executive Tom Suozziand state Assemblymen Richard Brodsky (Westchester) and Michael Gianaris(Queens).
But Spitzer, whose resignation just 13 months ago led to the gubernatorial ascension of hapless David Paterson, might be underestimating the public’s memory. Even before Spitzer went on “Today” to resurrect his image as “the sheriff of Wall Street” and discuss his “gremlins,” a New York Times column recently referred to him as “that caustic echo of yesteryear.”‘
