Eliot Spitzer may be pondering a comeback:

“I love politics,” Spitzer told Elkind, according to excerpts of their March 31 interview. “The substance, the debate about the issues …”
Asked specifically about some kind of statewide race in 2010 — which The Post reported exclusively last year that Spitzer was talking to people about — Spitzer said it’s “just hard to see.”
But he added, “I’ve never said I would never consider running for office again.”
He told Elkind that his column for the online magazine Slate, among other recent endeavors, are part of an easier life that he loves.
But, according to the excerpts, he said he’s “in unceasing agony” and is “incredibly frustrated” over no longer being “where I would like to be” — finishing his first term as governor of New York. “Anybody who says disengaging from it in any way is easy is not being straightforward,” he says. “Obviously, removing myself the way I did is that much more painful.”

Funny, that last paragraph could just as easily be about Spitzer’s other great passion.
