Eliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo: Second Comings -- but on Separate Tracks
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyYou've got to give it to two of the most outsized egos in New York politics: They know how to make comebacks. Eliot Spitzer, 59, the former New York governor, is up from a sex scandal two years ago. Andrew Cuomo, 52, who will likely become the state's next governor, is up from a political debacle in 2002.
