Governor Powell? Ahhh that would be a dream come true
The odds are very low of course...unfortunatly
Besides, Sec of State to governor is a MASSIVE step down the prestige scale.
Normally, I'd just let NYS make its own bed (Senators Chuck Schumer and Herself; congressmen rangle, nadler, owens, etc.). But a Gov Spitzer can do 'major' damage to the companies that still have their headquarters in Manhattan. His governorship will weaken the nation's economy at large, a la Gray Davis.
If Powell is the best the NYGOP (or Conservative, or Freedom, or whatever 3rd party NY invents this month) can do, he should do it, damn his paranoid wife.
Poor curropt companies getting their asses kicked by Spitzer.
