Prostitution is not a victimless crime. Consenting sex between adults (or between teenagers) is absolutely fine. Paying people (or, if you read the affidavit and complaint - their pimps who get 50% of the fees) is not. For those who read the whole complaint and accompanying affidavit, you might remember Samantha who was suspected of developing a drug problem which, the pimps noted, was not uncommon among prostituted women. Prostitution is not a job - it's an ongoing violation of bodily integrity and the very opposite of consensual sex.

I'm as partisan and pro-Dem as the next person, but this guy (Spitzer, ideally ex-governor-to-be) was paying to sexually assault women. I don't care how good his politics were or were not otherwise, what he did was both immoral and illegal and violated state and federal law. The man should be indicted - not that Republicans or anyone else who commits these crimes should not be - but really, if Spitzer did this stuff, he deserves to go down. And I blame Spitzer personally for the consequences for the Democratic Party in New York State - his behavior was not only immoral and illegal it was irresponsible and disrespectful to the hundreds and thousands (if not millions - New York is a big state) of Democrats who placed their faith in him to bring an end to over a decade of a Republican governor and lead to a Democratic majority in both houses.

No way - no one pro-Hillary could have made this thing. Is this video made by Hillary haters who want her to go down in flames?!?!

Narrow band of support?!?! He's gotten about half the delegates so far and you yourself indicate he's likely to walk into the convention with at least half this summer.
