OK, confident.

 

But I feel like a CEO, who is reporting cording we earnings before they are out, I don’t want to over-promise, I don’t want to under-promise, we feel comfortable, and we will see what out of this.

 

You have the votes, because you have to move ahead of that. Will you have the votes...?

 

Well, that is the ultimate test, of course. I will feel the public is going to give me a fair hearing; it’s the one pull that is come out. This is certainly the very encouraging I’m waiting. But I didn’t pull before I got into this race. I have got an instinct that if I make my case to the public, the instant what they did to the Attorney General, fighting is the independent voice on financial matters and the whole graph of other stuff, but certainly financial matters, which go to the heart and soul what had been in the control of what the city is all about, I think the public will go to support …  

 

You know, there is also this feeling though in New York and elsewhere, that you had your chance, Eliot, as governor of New York, you had your chance and you blew it. 

 

Right.

 

Why do you deserve it as to trust another chance?

 

First, I seek in the public trust and we didn’t; we accomplished the enormous amount, not only when I was Attorney General, but we fully founded the New York City’s public education system. We did not raise taxes; we reformed health care; we put in place and created the New York state stem cell research fund. I could go on reform on the employment …. 

 

But I could go on to. You know what they talk about? It was, yes, the Attorney General prosecuted and tried. And you prosecuted prosecution rings. And, as Governor, you know, you rushed your jobs, you rushed your jobs because of hypocrisy. 

 

No, I resigned because I believed it was the appropriate way to say I appreciate what accountability is all about, which it had been something like I had spoken about and I believe in. Five years later, I am ready to go to the public and say, here is the entirety of the record, here is the totality of the record. I think I can serve once more. And I am ready to serve. If you want, bring me back. I have always trusted the public. Whether it was a low-level prosecutor trial in misdemeanor case in front of a jury, or significant felony cases, or as a politician ask them for vote, I would trust and defer to the public’s verdict on that. And I asked gonna to be able to make my case, that’s wonder
