Was Eliot Spitzer convicted of anything? Or did he just resign in disgrace over the hooker thing? Wasn’t sure if he was forced out over criminal charges, or if he can make a political comeback.

He resigned. No charges were prosecuted. He’d have to get re-elected though. Can’t just unresign, I don’t think.

Unfortunately no. Paterson is a disaster, and Spitzer isn't any better. Gay marriage, licenses for illegals, threats and intimidation, as well as his involvement in Troopergate. I live in central NY State, and could only hope that the rest of the State would keep that POS from getting back into office. We managed to finally defeat Mario Cuomo years ago, perhaps we'd be able to get enough votes to defeat Spitzer, especially now that he's been laid bare. Leopards don't change their spots. If people think Spitzer has changed, and somehow he's been humbled, they're wrong.
