Spitzer: "I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me. To every New Yorker, and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for, I sincerely apologize.

I can and will ask no less of myself. For this reason, I am resigning from the office of governor."

Paterson will be sworn in on Monday.
