What do you guys think?



I have always liked Eliot Spitzer, I think it would be a great idea. Plus we know he has great taste in women.

He hasn't a chance or really enough backers to go anywhere.

He didn't serve an entire term as governor and so Republicans could ridicule him as a quitter like Democrats ridicule Sarah Palin.

Al Gore would be a more formidable challenger than Spitzer.

Eliot Spitzer was run out of office after he made every indication he was going after the bankers. His sexual proclivities, which are no one else's business, were used against him. I like him a lot but I think he would be threatened into submission if he ever ran for public office. That's what usually happens to people who do or try to do the right thing.

Now, THAT is a sad statement.

Bernie Sanders is still talking about global warming?

That cancels his credibility on every other issue.

Don't make me laugh.

This would have been possible had Spitzer not decided his fondness for sex with prostitutes was more improtant than his marriage or his political career.

That shows a fundamental inability to control his base impulses, and exercise sound judgement. It also shows a huge ego. Nobody in his position is stupid or crazy enough to do something like that unless they don't think they are going to get caught.


As for Bernie Sanders he's as bad as the Tea Party Republicans that refuse to allow revenue increases by closing tax loopholes are raising taxes.

The country isn't going to going progress too far if more people aren't willing to compromise.

Bernie Sanders is an idiot... if he wants, why don't he run and see how many people like him enough to vote for him... he couldn't win a primary against Donkey Kong...
