My guess is they won't have a comment until after he resigns.

DENOUNCE AND REJECT

Superdelegate and ho hopper Eliot Spitzer

Maybe she's having flashbacks?

Is this excellent news? And if so, for whom?

tweety reports hillary has commented -- sympathy for spitzer and his family, that's it.

Who are all these federal law enforcement officials who are blabbing to the media? Is there going to be an investigation of THAT?

Obviously this case is a big deal, and if you are in the FBI or a federal prosecutor, it's hugely important for you to keep your big yap shut while these cases are developing in order to have an effective case against the person.

Regardless, you can be sure that corks are popping all over Wall Street tonight...(Greg, might be some fun reporting, scouting out a few high-end NYC restaurants to see who's out and about soaking this news up.)

Come on. You know she needs time to conducts some polls on this first. Wouldn't want to say the wrong thing.

Jesus, you people at TPM really are out for Hillary's blood, aren't you? Could you be more transparent?

I can't begin to see why Hillary has to make a major pronouncement on this issue in the first few hours after it comes to the public eye.

My guess is she's expecting he will resign, and very soon. There's not exactly a pressing need for her to demand it unless he makes it clear he's not going to do so, is there?

Why can't you just wait that out?

You guys got a problem with premature defenestration, or something? Maybe you should consult your physician for something that will slow down your impulses so that things are allowed to take their proper time.

On how this affects the math IF Spitzer resigns:
- Lt. Governor David Paterson becomes NY Governor
- Paterson is a Clinton supporter and campaigned for her in Iowa
- But he's already a superdelegate as an at-large member of the DNC
- IF he remains an at-large member of the DNC, then there would be a net loss of 1 superdelegate for Hillary and a reduction of total SDs to 794.
- I would imagine that he will be asked by Clinton campaign to step down from DNC and be replaced by another Clinton supporter so that there is no net loss.

Lt. Gov. Paterson is a declared DNC superdelegate for Clinton. I assume Spitzer loses his Superdelegate status if he resigns, and Paterson takes his spot--query what happens to that DNC position? Does it disappear or can Paterson be replaced?

DENOUNCE OR REJECT??!

DENOUNCE!!

REJECT!!!!

OMFG YOU HAVE TO DO IT!!!!!

Re: Spitzer Sex Scandal:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton wants the voters to know that she has the most experience to deal with such a unexpected emergency. Senator Clinton has past the threshold of being qualified to deal with Bimbo Eruptions, from day one. Experience counts. At 3.00am who do you want answering those phone calls from the Red Light Zone.

Hillary Clinton has 35 years of experience dealing with Bimbo Eruptions, and Senator Obama has never even made a speech about them.

Who do you want taking that 3.00AM Red Light call!

Of course this is bad for Hillary. Spitzer is the Governor of her (current) home state and a big cheerleader.

It reminds the world of Bill's past sex scandal. It reminds us that Hillary "could not breathe" (her words) when confronted with the facts about Bill and Monica. It reminds us of her dreadful non-answer to the question about Spitzer's abandoned immigrant drivers license policy - in a debate stage in Philadelphia no less.

If Spitzer resigns, his action will be compared to Bill's refusal to go. If Spitzer clings on, he'll be a daily reminder to the world of one her most prominent supporters.

I am just so saddened to see that the hopes for really seriously needed reform of New York State's system of government seems to have been snuffed out for another decade. Why can't these guys keep their dicks in their pants?

Of course, it is very unusual for a John to get tangled up in these investigations. It looks like Spitzer is getting some very special treatment from the Bush Department of Justice. Stay tuned on that one.

Spitzer should be forced out now. Does anyone believe that he just started doing this in the past month. Of course not.

Those type of Prostitution rings are usually mob connected, so there is a good chance that he put himself in a position to be blackmailed into looking the other way on certain cases.

Throw the stupid jerk out now.

lol, the ad banner at the top this site says 'Hypocrisy'.

I'm no Clinton fan, but I don't see why she should take any stance on this. It's not going to have any impact on the campaign.

Ozz has a good point about special treatment. With this administration, if I were a Dem politician, I would be very careful of what I even said on the phone, let alone where I put my johnson.
