[POLITICKER] Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer made his first official campaign stop in more than two weeks this morning, greeting commuters in a frenzied appearance outside a subway station in Jackson Heights, Queens.To quote Chicago, 1968: "The whole world is watching us!"
Mr. Spitzer, bursting with energy, handed out campaign fliers, cornered commuters, shook hands and bounded into traffic more than once--stopping buses, livery cars and even a North Shore ambulance as he touted his unexpected campaign for comptroller under the elevated 7-train track.
"And scratching its collective head..."
"Eliot Spitzer. I hope you'll vote for me on September 10th," he said, introducing himself to voters. "I hope I can count on your support September 10th," he said again and again.
"...and wondering 'what are those people thinking?"
While Mr. Spitzer was left on his own during his first campaign stop--a media circus in Union Square the day after announcing his unexpected bid--this time, the former governor was surrounded by a small army of campaign staffers and volunteers, waving signs and corralling voters.
"... if anything."
