Clinton camp mum on Spitzer By Sam Youngman Posted: 03/10/08 06:18 PM [ET]
Hours after reports first said that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) solicited a prostitute, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) campaign had yet to comment on its New York surrogate’s involvement and afternoon statement.
Clinton later in the day reportedly said she did not want to comment on the situation except to offer her "best wishes" for Spitzer and his family. Clinton twice said she did not have a comment when asked directly for one, according to reports, saying she wanted to "see how things develop."
Spitzer publicly apologized to his family Monday after The New York Times reported that the governor was caught on a federal wiretap “arranging to meet with a high-priced prostitute at a Washington hotel last month.”
Spitzer did not take questions at an afternoon press conference, and he did not resign.
He endorsed Clinton last year, and, as recently as Feb. 26, the campaign hosted a conference call featuring Spitzer along with Govs. Jon Corzine (D-N.J.) and Ted Strickland (D-Ohio).
On the call, Spitzer said he might campaign on Clinton’s behalf in Ohio in the days leading up to Clinton’s victory in the state. In response to several requests for comment, one Clinton campaign aide would say only that Spitzer did not ever make the trip to the Buckeye State as a surrogate for the former first lady.

She needs to put her finger in the air and see which way the wind is blowing AGAIN!
I’ve been wondering- was Spitzer paying his 8.375% sales tax on his prostitution services. After all, NY prosecutes NY smokers who buy cigarettes online and don’t pay sales taxes....
What could Clinton possilby say?
Under the bus.
Its 3:00 AM, do you know where your Super Delegate from NY is?
Any comment she makes and coverage goes toward Bill Clinton’s White House frolics.
She’s had a life time of cheating.
I can't believe the scumbag sought out the hooker around Valentines Day.
Sex Education is working - Spitzer wanted “unsafe sex” but Kristen refused!!!
"I feel your pain."
or
"Put some ice on it."
isn’t he a superdelegate?!!!! can’t offend the superdelegates, now can she? too funny this whole thing. i am enjoying myself surveying Democrat hypocrisy left and right tonight! what a feast!
I have to admit, I am enjoying watching the Rodents squrim. But it must be hard for his wife.
I heard on Fox that Hillary’s campaign web site has been cleaned of any references to Spitzer. Even the mention of his endorsement of Clinton.
Saaaayyyyy, you wanna be Vice President?
Bad pun? Me? Naaaahhh!
Surprise, Suprise. Why did I think Hillary would not bring it up at the very first opportunity on the campaign stump.
Spitzer’s encounter with this hooker happened on the night before Valentine’s Day. What a romantic...
This bastard just like Bill....I'll give him a cabinet post if I can steal the nomination from BHO.
Don’t feel sorry for his wife. She is a lawyer and married a really rich guy from the NE. She knew what she was getting into. Like someone else said..she is know a good candidate for Senator to replace Hillary when she is elected Pres..or VP.
