Reuters: Schneiderman wins primary for NY attorney general

NEW YORK | Wed Sep 15, 2010


New York State Senator Eric Schneiderman claimed victory on Wednesday in the Democratic primary for state attorney general, a job that comes with the unofficial title of "sheriff of Wall Street."

Schneiderman, 55, was one of five candidates competing for the Democratic nomination to succeed Andrew Cuomo as the state's chief prosecutor. Before Cuomo, Eliot Spitzer had made aggressive enforcement of financial laws a key part of the job.

Since Spitzer held the job from 1998 to 2007, the post of New York attorney general has been among the most high profile in the country.

1. I won't un-rec, because I don't do that, but...

Rice was the better choice. How a so-called "sheriff" could get in a hit-and-run accident and still get elected is beyond me. How can you be the top law enforcer and not have the sense to stop when you've been involved in a traffic accident? I think it speaks to his character. Oh well. Kathleen Rice has many good days ahead of her, and will serve NY well in other endeavors. It's a shame she lost.
