LA Times...with some interesting commentary:
UPDATE: Spitzer played a tangential role in the narrative of the Democratic presidential nomination fight. It was he, you'll recall, who raised ...
... the possibility of granting driver's licenses to immigrants regardless of whether they were documented, which became a recurring topic in the early candidate debates. A strong political backlash led Spitzer to drop the plan.
But he has been most noted for taking on powerful interests, such as insurance companies.
UPDATE II: Spitzer's press announcement was short and sweet and devoid of details. Without specifying what he was talking about -- but the context was clear -- Spitzer apologized to his family. "I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family.... I must now dedicate my time to regain the trust of my family."
He also apologized "to the public, and I promise better. I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas, the public good and doing what is best for the state of New York." Spitzer also said he "failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself." He took no questions.

I don't see a problem here. The only thing wrong i see is he may be guilty of something he has locked people up for. Maybe he might be motivated to legalize prostitution now. if they just legalize it like it is in Nevada, this situation is revealed for the ridiculousness that it is. Investigating prostitution is a waste of our tax dollars, and police resources. and if we citizens have to re-prioritize our lives and deal with all the wire taps and privacy violations and being stripped down at airports,because of the war on terror, then maybe they can prioritize and stop chasing people who are pleasuring each other and chase people who are killing each other.
