15. At the least (if true) he should not run for another term and just finish out this one.

When Spitzer got caught in that prostitution scandal and had to resign his office, Democrats held the governorship in the following election. New York is a Democratic State inclined to elect Democrats unless given a compelling reason not to. If a strong scandal free Democrat runs for Governor next term instead of Cuomo, s/he will win, whereas Cuomo may not. His father, if memory serves me right, was defeated seeking a fourth term as Governor.

It would not help the Democratic cause, either nationally or locally, for a Republican to become the next New York State Governor.
