Eliot Spitzer Considering Resignation

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer said Tuesday that he is considering resignation after announcing that he was involved in a prostitution ring.

New York Republicans said that if Spitzer does not resign, they will begin impeachment proceedings.

On Monday, Gov. Spitzer, a first-time Democrat, held a press conference to make the announcement. During it, he never mentioned if he would resign or not. His wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, stood by his side during the press conference.

Through further research, it was identified that Spitzer was involved in the recent scandal at the Emperor's Club VIP, which had four people arrested last week on charges of prostitution.

According to an affidavit, Spitzer, whom was referred to as "Client No. 9," had a rendezvous on Feb. 13 with a madam named "Kristen" in the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.
