Elliot Spitzer for Vice President
I keep reading people making a case for candidates with a relatively low national profile and thought what we really needed was a democrat that every person in America probably knows.

Actually I just wanted to get people's attention, for what it is worth I think he takes someone like Clark who ran on an outsider message himself in 04 and has national security cred.

1. That guy
I know I shouldn't rejoice at a democrats misfortunes however I worked in Financial Services in Compliance for 4 years and that man caused me more late nights than I care to ever repeat.

My company hadn't done anything wrong but we still had to answer all his fucking request when he was Attorney General.

4. Amen to that
I was a broker at the time and I know Spitzer was one giant unnecessary pain in the ass to you compliance guys.

6. I worked with Annuities and Variable Life
So I had to run a program on every single policy and what the shifts were. Than I had to analyze every single policy that was red flagged to make sure that they weren't market timing.

Than I had to deal with the people who were angry because they've been basically day trading in an annuity for the past 10 years and were suddenly told to stop.

7. I understand
I'm sure you know the paperwork I had to do. Especially if it were a 1035 exchange. I can't believe what the compliance people had to go through.
