Spitzer could ‘work way back up’

Is former “Love Gov” Eliot Spitzer getting any big ideas from Anthony Weiner’s comeback attempt? At The Atlantic and the Aspen Institute’s New York Ideas dinner at Del Posto on Monday night, Spitzer was overheard telling a guest, “If I do run for something, it would have to be something that would show I’m willing to work my way back up.” The former Client 9 wasn’t the only pol talking about potential races. Newark Mayor Cory Booker — who’s all but officially declared he’s running for the Senate — told Norah O’Donnell during a Q&A, “Unofficially, I’m running.” A spy said Booker also explained to a guest, “I can’t announce now because of the [New Jersey] governor’s race, but as soon as it’s over, I’ll announce.” The Twitter enthusiast with 1.38 million followers also said he’ll bring his social-media savvy to Washington to make the US government more efficient. Booker said he’s even met with techies in Silicon Valley to discuss digital changes because, “Government is still moving at a snail’s pace at the federal level.”
