Amedore will have to start running for reelection yesterday if he wants to hold onto that seat in 2008.  That district is one of the few upstate with a Dem registration advantage(39%-32%) and he won the seat largely due to the fact that his Democratic opponent did not run a single ad responding to Amedore's attacks.

And, of course, the current scandal, which may blow over within the next few months or may burgeon into something huge, though the former seems more likely. (If it were just Spitzer's aides involved, it's unfortunate but not greatly harmful to Spitzer.)

Oh, certainly, I think the scandal will have blown over by then, but I don't think Spitzer will be able to resurrect those larger-than-life approval ratings he once had.  He'll have to settle for better-than-average, which really, isn't a bad place to be.

No one sustains 70+% approval ratings forever. Spitzer's still quite popular.

Unless you're Brian Schweitzer or Mark Warner. Tongue

Even Schweitzer and Warner (and Palin and Lynch) slip below 70% from time to time.
