..but no, he wasn't "hounded out of office."

He made a career as a hard-hitting AG, including hitting prostitution rings, brought his steam-roller attitude to the governor's mansion where it did NOT play well, and got caught with a high-price prostitute.

He then resigned, himself, early in the scandal. No hounding.

And a problem fully of his own making.

So does that mean he's only good enough to be Newt's running mate ?

The differences are obvious and it isn't just in their past. Would Spritzer ever...ever lead the dem poles as a candidate for the pres. nomination ? NO !!

Spitzer chose to resign.  Newt resigned as well, but not due to disclosure of his affairs.  He resigned because his crappy leadership resulted in the GOP brand being damaged, and a loss in Congress.

Newt's disgrace happened a lot further back than Spitzer's.  Who knows - Spitzer may decide to return to politics someday like Newt.
