Spitzer's was last month.

Perhaps we expect Louisiana politicians to be more corrupt?  The fact is, as Spitzer just said (CNN did not have a camera, just audio): "I have violated the standards I set for myself."

Spitzer's reputation was built on his being squeaky clean.  I don't think he can survive this, whether it is fair or not.

I missed the "NY" in your sentence.  I apologize.

That's actually kind of fair, I mean can you imagine Jefferson getting re-elected somewhere outside of New Orleans?

Ever heard of him?  He wasn't from Louisiana...he was from New York.
