New York governor linked to prostitution ring: What's the fallout?
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, often discussed in Democratic Party circles as a future candidate for president, revealed Monday that he is linked to a high-priced prostitution ring, according to the New York Times. Spitzer is reportedly planning to resign the office he's held for just over a year. (Update: Or maybe not.)
Spitzer spent years cultivating the image of a crusader against corruption. In announcing he would run for governor, Spitzer said "we need reform in the process of government." His campaign slogan was "Day One: Everything Changes!"
Do a politician's sexual scandals matter? Should Spitzer's association with illegal prostitution disqualify him from holding office ever again?
