Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer speaks to reporters during a campaign event in New York, July 8, 2013. Spitzer, a 54-year-old Democrat, has set his eye on a less prestigious job - New York City comptroller, a post akin to chief financial officer. He said he wanted to reinvent the position by taking a more activist role, similar to his transformation of the state attorney generalship. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid (UNITED STATES - Tags: POLITICS)
