How did Spitzer get so popular?

[bagrman]

What caused Governor Spitzer to come to the front of an investigation that had no real reason to get started. Well if you go after or point out what had been done to the public by Bush and his cohorts you get a free ride to the front of the line. No matter your feeling about prostitution, the guy knew his shit about economic rights and wrongs.

2. he took on very powerful corrupt industries

Particularly the insurance industry, where brokers were intentionally keeping prices artificially high by disencouraging competition to keep their commissions high.
