A pair of polls show that Eliot Spitzer still has a lead in his bid for the city comptroller's office but according to one survey, challenger Scott Stringer is well within striking distance.
The latest Quinnipiac survey shows that among likely Democratic primary voters, it's 49 percent for Spitzer and 45 percent for Scott Stringer. Six percent don't know or aren't answering.

Regardless of his faults - he's known for looking down his nose at Wall Street.
And it seems Mr. Mayor Bloomberg there isn't happy about his run - and his numbers. If Bloomberg (monied wall street man) doesn't like him - it's probably a good thing.

The primary is the election. The general is a formality.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Spitzer - based upon his actions - the Global Crossing employees got a little bit of our 401K's back. Hat tips to Louise Slaughter and Rick Dollinger for their assistance in getting his attention.
