« Spitzer runs for NY Comptroller -- against Madam who sold him hookers! | Main | Beware: The GOP is very willing to blow up the world economy in the next two months. »

Seems as if ole Eliot wants us to forget all of his past whoring around:

Eliot Spitzer spent at least $271,000 on the four-day petitioning blitz last month that won him a spot on the Democratic primary ballot for New York City comptroller, according to a new campaign finance filing.

The outlay represented only a modest fraction of the more than $2.5 million that Mr. Spitzer's campaign has spent since he announced his candidacy on July 7, dwarfing what his opponent, Scott M. Stringer, has spent in the same period.

Mr. Spitzer, a former governor, is paying for his campaign with his family's considerable wealth. Mr. Stringer, who is participating in the city's public matching funds program, has accused Mr. Spitzer of trying to buy his way back into public office.

Mr. Spitzer has contributed $3.7 million to his campaign so far, according to the filing. Most of his spending has been on television advertising, which has totaled more than $2 million. His largest expense for petitioning was the $165,000 he paid to a consultant, Jonathan Trichter; he also spent $11,341 on a petitioning party at a Midtown restaurant.

Let's see what the voters think of all this in about a month when the primaries take place. Will they forget?
