Daves Wife,
            Elliot Spitzer who is a Democrat is now Governor of New York State and was elected by a landslide. Ditto with the Attorney General (Andrew Cuomo). The Assembly has a Democratic majority and is contolled by long term Speaker Sheldon Silver. Only the State Senate, presided over by Joe Bruno remains in Republican hands. So therefore a Republican attorney is not a necessity. It can be a Democrat too as long as he knows someone.
