Well, I hate to give advice to a Democrat, but if I were in your shoes, given the views you've just stated, I'd vote for Hevesi and hope that he will have the grace to resign as soon as Spitzer's taken over, or that if he doesn't the Ds will cooperate in removing him.
But you should consider voting for the R candidate, regardless of the scandal. There's no doubt that Spitzer will be the next governor, and there's a lot to be said for having the comptroller of the opposite party to the governor. For the past 12 years we've had an R governor and D comptrollers; 8 years ago when the Rs swept every other statewide office, the Ds held the comptroller's spot, because enough voters voted R for everything else and D for that. I think their motive was to have a member of the opposition auditing the books. Now that we're to have a D governor, we should have an R looking over his shoulder.
