Eliot Spitzer has somehow managed to keep his high-profile battle with Dick Grasso from becoming a campaign issue. Until now. According to the New York Post, it all started when his opponent for governor said that Spitzer's suit against Grasso was intended to inflame voter passions by trying to make a point about grandstanding. Spitzer was not about to let that go: He responded that Faso is on the side of "those who have attempted to manipulate the New York Stock Exchange for personal profit, rather than to protect its integrity and fairness..." For many people, this is getting old. The trial can't come soon enough.
