“…Spitzer’s downfall hurts. It reminds voters of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and that’s bad for Hillary Clinton. But it also puts a bipartisan spin on sex, and that’s bad for Obama, too. Spitzer, a Democrat, enters the same political hall of shame as Republicans Larry Craig and David Vitter. After Spitzer, neither political party holds the moral high ground.
