Usually I could careless about politics. However this state is in shambles, our budget is a disgrace and personal lives and pleasure are such a huge hit in the press - I was not an Elliot fan - BUT after reading alot about him I will say out loud; "I miss you Elliot!!!" Yes he may not have had 1 friend in Albany in his elite crowd, but in the trenches there were a few of us - yes he did break the law - one of the laws he did pass himself; extending time in jail for the "johns" maybe he never thought he was going to get caught, maybe he wanted to be caught. Maybe he was set up - (which is what I want to believe in a fantasy world)

BUT bottom line - did Elliot do his job as Governor? I think he did and I think because he may have hit some nerves some whom do not care for him and it showed with the swearing in ceremony for Paterson - and delighted in Elliot's resignation.

I know politics is dirty, and none of them are faithful - money talks and bullshit walks - elite crowd feel inferior to the rest of us who depend on them to make the decisions for our rights in our State - where did that get us?

so I may be (1) New York State citizen who says; "where are you Spitzer?!!!!" I am serious.
A man of such brilliance, innovative way of thinking, and never gave up - made alot of enemies because he had a passion for what he thought was right - and yes got caught in his own wrong - yes made publicly humiliated - no one was laughing when they saw him and his wife in public with the resignation did they? No he had every right not to answer any questions - this was his time as Elliot Spitzer, the man not the public person to rectify HIS life.
Put yourself in his shoes.

Now I feel better - got this out - probaby ticked alot of you off - but guess what? I don't care.

We need a Governor who can get the job done - where is Elliot?!!!
