Run Eliot Run

Eliot Spitzer announced his candidacy for Governor yesterday and Loyal Opposition couldn't be happier. After the funereal candidacy of party hack H. Carl McCall, the Democrats will have a charismatic, popular, and tough candidate to field against the Great Soft-Spoken Mediocrity that is George Pataki. Spitzer has been a truly inspiring Attorney General and has shown no fear in prosecuting the white collar criminals that commonly make up Pataki's and Bush's donor list. Loyal Opposition wishes that Spitzer hadn't been so quick to decry the Rockefeller Drug Laws, but Loyal understands that in the end, it's better for his popularity that he didn't.

Spitzer for Governor in 2006. Hil up for reelection. 2006 looks like it's gonna be a Blue year for New York.

Hope springs eternal
