I haven't been following this too closely, but I don't think the main issue is prostitution.
Prostitution is a misdemeanor in DC. Although the political pressure for Spitzer to step down is because of the morals of the situation, he could weather it - much as Bill Clinton did. But what's the point.
The investigation was triggered by the unusual movement of money - sums broken down into small components, a form of money laundering. The suspicions led to Client 9.
I think Spitzer hasn't resigned yet because his attorneys are negotiating a deal where he could leave office, and avoid being charged with a felony.
As I type this, I hear that his behavior may have been going on for a decade.
