Eliot Spitzer also rules out a run in 2010… but not beyond that.

From the Daily News:

He said he knew his actions were wrong and risky. “The human mind does, and permits people to do things that they rationally know are wrong, outrageous. …We succumb to temptations that we know are wrong and foolish when we do it and then in hindsight we say, ‘How could I have?'” Spitzer said.

He then added: “I’m not going to say anything that … should be thought to be an excuse for anything. But there’s got to be some element to it being a result of tension and release. And that builds up.”

He said he could make a case the public shouldn’t care about the sex lives of its leaders – leaving out the fact he broke the law by hiring hookers – but admitted: “You should be smart enough to know that those are the rules, whether or not it’s fair.”
