Yet, even with all that running, George Spitz, the man the myth the legend, would probably have trouble keeping up with all of the candidates in 2009. So Room Eight is playing host to The Spitz List. Named after one of New York's great runners, the Spitz List presents the first of a series of running lists of people rumored, blogged or reported to be running for office in 2009.

Starting today with the citywide offices (along with some suggested campaign slogans):

Mayor
