If he did what he did, and it looks like he did,who knows what will happen, but I think New York has undisputed title to the tracks now. Why couldn\'t he have just had flings like a normal politician? Not that I condone that either but it\'s so disappointing his brazen lack of judgement.

Richiebee....can we now lump Spitzer in with your fondness and admiration of another former New York mayor?

Wow what a fool hypocrite this guy turned out to be. It just seems like most of our Washington and State Level Politico\'s are just blatant fools and perhaps all of them let power go to their heads. I think we should vote out most if not all incumbents and bring in fresh . The sad part is that over time, the power will go to their heads and it will happen all over again.

Don\'t get me started.

You know me, all I\'m thinking is \"Jeez, $5500 buys a lot of dime supers.\"

Politicians and sex scandals a pretty old story, thousands of years at least.
In Spitzer\'s case, a scandal added to a very low approval rating does not
bode well for the man\'s future. At least this scandal will divert our attention
from other sad news of the day: Madonna inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame and oil at $107 per barrel.

Sad part for horse racing is that the man who will likely be NY\'s next elected
Governor,New York\'s current mayor (who I am for the most part a big fan of) will
probably not be too good for NY racing in the long run.
