NY Governor Spitzer Linked to Prostitution

For the life of me, I cannot understand why powerful men take such stupid risks and jeopardize their political futures. The irony is when you hold yourself up as some paragon of virtue and a tough prosecutor as Spitzer has, there will not be much sympathy coming his way. What this sad story underscores is that no individual is perfect and we are all flawed human beings. I just hope people will quit gloating and think about the problems in their relationships before they dig the man's grave.

Another reason why it is better not to have someone in a high position that thinks with the organ below their waist (sorry if you find that offensive).

Your point is well taken. I think this advances the point that more women is needed in higher political offices. Men just don't have good judgement (in my opinion) when their libido is involved.

The bad news for Hillary in this, from what I've seen on the cable-news shows, is that everybody's bringing up Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky when discussing Spitzer and his sexual risk-taking behavior.

That's not going to do Hillary any good.

Why should this have any impact on Hillary Clinton? the only negative impact as I see it is that if Spitzer resigns, she loses the support of a Superdelegate. I don't think people are going to view Hillary negatively as a result of Spitzer's unfortunate mistake. Are/is there comparison's? Yes, but not just to Bill Clinton. I've seen discussions about men in power, Republicans and Democrats, Ministers, not just a just a focus solely on Bill Clinton.
