The Return Of Eliot Spitzer? Not Yet, But Possibly in the Future?

As we are probably familiar with, the former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned from his position in March 2008 after the press emerged with federal wiretappings that incriminated Spitzer (who was arranging to meet a prostitute in Washington). Since then, Eliot Spitzer has been playing damage control. He's a regular columnist for Slate, and has appeared on show's like Real Time with Bill Maher to discuss matters of Wall Street, taxation, and a Maher favorite... the legalization of marijuana. What I found most impressive is that he is still married. This is what the Washington Post had to say (via Reuters):
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A majority of New York voters do not want disgraced former Governor Eliot Spitzer to run for statewide office this year, but many say that they would support a run in the future, a poll said on Wednesday.
Asked "Should Eliot Spitzer ever run for public office in New York again, or not?," 45 percent said Spitzer, thought by many to be engineering a political comeback, should run for office some day, said the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion survey.
But 48 percent said his political career is over. The survey did not address how New Yorkers would vote if he did run.
Is there a possibility of Spitzer making a public office run, and being elected, in the future? The chances seem slim now, but nothing is out of the realm of possibility it seems.
