Eliot Spitzer’s CNN contract in the works

As Yeas & Nays reported last month, Eliot Spitzer is being considered for a panelist position on a “Crossfire”-type show set to replace Campbell Brown’s prime-time spot on CNN.

We hear from a CNN insider that President Jon Klein, a friend of Spitzer, is in the process of drawing up a contract for the former governor of New York.

Insiders also are buzzing about “The Rachel Maddow Show” executive producer Bill Wolff, whose name has been tossed around to lead the show.

CNN is continuing not to comment. Spitzer and Wolff did not respond to multiple calls and e-mails for comment. An MSNBC spokesperson did not respond, as well.
