Reply #2: I found it incredibly sad watching his wife standing there while he spoke [View All]

He really did have everything going for him - though I think he had been somewhat a disappointment as governor, maybe as the expectations were so high. The NYT said he has three teen daughters, which also has to make it worse. In some ways, it reminded me of HRC and Chelsea. Frankly, I can see that I could not be a political wife - there is no way I would stand there at that point. After all they got into that by themselves.

Then like now, it was not just sex but breaking rules, both legal and behavioral. Again there is the thought of what were these guys thinking. In Spitzer's case he always seemed a Democratic Guilliani - but clean. He did always seem a good AG candidate, but I'm not sure that he might have preferred Governor of NY.
