Ah, shucks. I was hoping that he would stretch it out and the Feds would give us a perp walk!

He could change his mind before Monday. I wouldn't put it past him to try to remain in office.

Well, I posted the following, yesterday. I'm right so far. Hoping that I'm wrong on the Hillary!, piece, though.
My completely unsolicited $0.02?
Spitzer resigns. Hillary! gets her butt handed to her by Obama in the rest of the primaries.
Thus, Hillary! is available to run in the inevitable re-election for NY Governor. Gives her a graceful way of bowing out of the '08 election, while maintaining (maybe expanding?) her power base. And, leaving her open for a later run in 2012.
Makes me think about who leaked what, and to who. And when.

PRIVATE FAILINGS???
I guarantee you, when all is said and done in this investigation you are going to find way more than PRIVATE FAILINGS... this guy got snagged by Feds investigating indiscrepencies in government accounts and money laundering.
While the use of prostitutes may be a private failing... and I have complete sympathy for this jacka$$’s daughters.. .there are 3 girls who will never be able to truly trust a man in their lives thanks to daddy’s selfishness... There is no atonement he can possibly do to make up for the failings he has done to these girls.... The rest of the stuff that’s around this is not in any way “private”, there is way more to this coming folks.. I’d bet the farm on it.

If he doesn't pardon the 19 people he put in jail for being "involved" with prostitution rings before he leaves, he really is slime.
...of course, he really is slime.

It’s an interesting theory, but under NY Law, the Lt. Governor will serve out the remainder of Spitzer’s term, which expires at the end of 2010.
To: wbill
Makes me think about who leaked what, and to who. And when. This investigation has been going on for a while. I believe it started BEFORE Clinton was considered D-Inevitable, when she didn't consider Obama a threat.
Perhaps the timing of going public is suspicious. But, Spitzer was one of her committed super-delegates, who reportedly won't be replaced.
