In an interview with WPIX-TV, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) said he "is not returning to the political arena, at least not this year."
Said Spitzer: "I don't have any thoughts about running for political office right now. It is not what I am doing... People have been encouraging me to run for office. I am flattered, and I'm thankful. It feels nice, but it's not happening."
