Looks like New York needs some Republicans.

From the article:

It’s been 15 years since a New York governor left office without a scandal – and just as long since a Republican has held the job.

Former Gov. George Pataki, who unseated then-Gov. Mario Cuomo in 1995, left office at the end of 2006.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer, a former attorney general, defeated Republican candidate John Faso that year, then resigned in 2008 after a scandal involving a high-priced prostitution ring.

His replacement, former Lt. Gov. David Patterson, called off his campaign for a full term in office in 2010 amid allegations that his administration improperly intervened after a woman accused one of his close aides of domestic violence.

And Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the son of Mario Cuomo and another former attorney general, announced his resignation Tuesday afternoon following a damning investigation into sexual harassment allegations leveled by 11 women.
