It’s just knee-jerk for them, I guess.

Some have claimed that the (R) means right side, as if you couldn't tell which of the two was Eliot. The text on the right clearly says that he is a 'Rat.

Can't blame the AP, they are just confused by a Democrat getting in trouble for sex...only Republicans are supposed to make the news for that, they just assumed wrong.

IN this case I thnk that you are misreading what you are seeing The (R) refers to the fact that Eliot is on the right in the picture, and in this day and age one cannot tell whehter someone is male or female by the name or the spelling.

It should have read Eliot Spitser (pictured right) ....

I know it’s a subliminal message but in the next sentence it claerly states the he is a democRAT

If that were the case, you would use a lowercase R then.

Joseph Goebbels would be very proud today knowing that his work is being carried out by the liberal MSM.

Let me guess. They added the ‘R’ in the caption so you know Eliot is the one on the right on the picture... in case we were confused and thought the wife is named Eliot and is stepping down as the governor of NY.

HANG ON..They are NOT identifying him as a Republican. He and his wife are on stage and they are saying he’s on the RIGHT, but using an initial which would seem to indicate he’s a Republican..no doubt planned, but a party affiliation it isn’t..

That's inconceivable. There are plenty of other ways to signal Elliot Spitzer is the one standing on the right without using a capital R especially when the wife is identified in the same comment.

"New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (R) holds a news conference in New York City with his wife Silda by his side, on March 10. Spitzer came under mounting pressure to resign Tuesday, a day after the Democrat, crusader once known as the "Sheriff of Wall Street" was linked to a prostitution ring."

Description mentions his party affiliation.
