Chuck, Eliot and the Milk Tent (Updated)
In a sign of thawing in the acrimonious relationship between Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and Sen. Charles Schumer, the two are planning to meet up later today at the state fair in Syracuse, and pose for some pictures together.
Christine Anderson, Spitzer's spokeswoman, said she thought they would be walking around the milk tent.
"I wouldn't interpret it as anything other than two elected officials who are at the fair on the same day," she said.
The two hyper-ambitious politicians, both of whom are said to aspire to be the first Jewish president, butted heads over this year's governor's race. Eliot angered Chuck by trying to line up early endorsements a couple of years ago in an attempt to beat the senator to the punch. Chuck then reportedly encouraged Tom Suozzi in his run against Spitzer.
Of course, Spitzer's apparent imminent election as governor could be one reason the two are playing nice-nice.

Update: They are scheduled to meet up at 2:45 at the Dairy Products Building, Anderson reported.
