New York May Soon Have a Black Governor

On Monday afternoon, March 10, 2008, The New York Times has reported that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is allegedly linked to a prostitution ring supposedly corroborated by recorded request on a federal wiretap to meet with a high-priced prostitute.

Gov. Spitzer has already apologized to his family and the public at a press conference.  At the moment, CNN reports that his aides indicate he will resign.

No one wants to make a gain or advance in life due to unfortunate events, but if Gov. Spitzer resigns, New York will have its first Black governor, the state's current Lieutenant Governor David A. Paterson, who would also become the first legally blind elected official of such stature.
