New York has no term limits, which is okay, you can run how long if you are doing a good job
Pataki would have probably lost in 2006, Spitzer would have probably lost in 2010.
Had he not been in a Prostitution scandal, Spitzer would have been re-elected in 2010.
Probably, but his approvals by late 2007 was at 30% or something. So he was unpopular even before the scandal broke. I wonder whether David Paterson would have won the primary and general if he stayed in the race in 2010.
I think you're thinking of Paterson's 2008-09 approval ratiings. The guy was horrible.
Spitzer was sharp, and he was on the right side of the Wall Street issue. If he hadn't gotten caught with prostitutes he'd have been on the ticket in 2016.
