11. Elliot Spitzer, once known as the "Sheriff of Wall Street" because of his high-level
Prosecutions as AG of NY was elected in the blue wave of 2006. By a huge margin. (69% to 29%.)
Because of the scandal and the fact that public dollars may have been used, he resigned.
His Lt. Governor, David Paterson (also elected by the same margin,) took over after the resignation.
Hillary Clinton was also re-elected to the US Senate by a similar margin in 2006 (67% to 31%.) She lost to her Republican opponent in only 4 counties out of the 62.
