While (5.00 / 2) (#16)

 I don't discount for a moment the possibility that Republicans had something to do with the Spitzer scandal, the fact remains that had Spitzer not done the deed, he would be in the governor's mansion today.

That said, I still think it's at the least upsetting that the voters turned Spitzer out only to learn that the new governor, and his wife, had been unfaithful with many partners.

Who is upset... (5.00 / 1) (#38)

about the Patersons?  

Spitzer had it coming, whether he was targeted or not.  Good riddance.

The Patersons had some marital problems and worked it out, as far as I know. That is none of our business, and it's a shame they felt they had to talk about it publicly.

The voters didn't turn Spitzer out. (5.00 / 1) (#50)

He resigned. The voters didn't have anything to do with it, in fact the last time the voters weighed in, almost 70% of us voted for Spitzer. And I don't think there are very many New Yorkers who are all that upset about the revelations about the Paterson's marriage. If anything, people are annoyed that the private workings of their marriage needed to be exposed because there was the very real threat that people were going to try to use the information against Paterson. He didn't break any laws, it was a private matter and I don't think it's any of our business. I am pleased, however, with the way he handled it. He saw a problem on the horizon and he addressed it head-on and with openness which allows him to get back to the problems that actually matter.
