Eliot Spitzer May Face Primary Challenger
Corporate crime-buster Eliot Spitzer may get a primary challenger for the 2006 New York Governor's race: Tom Suozzi, a Long Island politician.
Suozzi, the Nassau County executive, has the hugely influential backing of Home Depot founder Ken Langone, a Long Island billionaire who has tangled with Spitzer on Wall Street and has vowed to raise "as much money as I can" to help knock off the two-term attorney general.
...."I will leave no stone unturned to help Tom Suozzi wage a very successful and effective campaign," Langone told The Associated Press this week. He added that Suozzi has done a marvelous job as county executive and is "focused like I've never seen a politician in my life."
Suozzi this week filed papers with the State Elections Office to form a fundraising committee for the Governor's race.
