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.
Paterson was doomed regardless because Obama & Co., aggressively pushed him out in favor of Cuomo.
