While nothing has been announced, there is reportedly movement to facilitate New York Lt. Governor, David Paterson taking the reins. Not sure, realistically, if there is any other expectation than Spitzer's departure at this point.

In the unlikely event that he try and tough it out, impeachment has already been broached. Also, prosecution on the structuring issue, remains a possibility.

for the point by point of what went down, you can't do much better than this NYT piece explicating the FBI's Emperor's Club affidavit. Good stuff. if you have a taste for the schadefreude.

I guess the Mayflower Hotel can add Room 871 to the tourists maps?
