E.T. Says: Elliot! Elliot!
New York AG Spitzer flattered by vice presidential buzz0 comments
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who is considering running for governor, may have loftier political goals.
Gen. Wesley Clark earlier this week mentioned Spitzer as a possible vice presidential running mate. Clark, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, made the remarks on C-SPAN television Wednesday while discussing corporate regulation.
Clark was asked if he would consider the New York attorney general for the role of vice president, according to Clark's press office.
"Certainly I would consider it," Clark said. "He's a very smart, capable guy and he's multi-dimensional."
Earlier this week, Washington Post syndicated columnist Mark Shields called Spitzer the "inevitable vice presidential nominee."
Spitzer has gained national prominence for his battles with Wall Street and the mutual fund industry.
It's truly amazing how far you can go in this world when you merely do the job you were hired to do.
