Kristin Davis served time for running the escort service that former Gov. Spitzer frequented. While the scandal cost Spitzer his job, he will soon star as host on CNN.

Kristin Davis is running for Spitzer's old job.

4. Yeah but they're all "commission-basis" only..... n/t

5. Which means they're "incentivized" to "produce".

n/t.

2. I can't see why she can't run. She has been successful in

making money. She understands how to bring revenue into the state. She is willing to legalize a herb that is being used for many medical reasons. I wish her luck.... Who else is running?

6. Lazio still running? I thinkthis woman would

be a far better choice than some of those listed. Who knows, she might win?

Most likely she was urged to do this as a publicity stunt to keep reminding the public of Spitzer's involvement with prostitution, just in case he decides to run again.

Now that she is running, I don't see why Spitzer shouldn't run and try to get his old job back. Let the people decide. I'd vote for him, but I'd rather see him going after Wall St. criminals, since no one else is.

7. well, she's a convicted criminal. That sets her up well with other politicians.
