Spitzer talks politics in appearance in Albany

Posted:

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer talked about politics during his first public appearance in New York's capital since a prostitution scandal forced him from office in 2008.

Spitzer told a public radio fundraiser Sunday that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton should run for president in 2016.

Spitzer praised Gov. Andrew Cuomo for pushing to legalize same-sex marriage last year. But he panned the governor's handling of legislative redistricting.
