WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton - no stranger to political sex scandals - sounded a short, sympathetic note Wednesday for disgraced Gov. Eliot Spitzer, saying she is thinking of his family.
"I'm deeply saddened by this turn of events and my thoughts are with Governor Spitzer's family during this painful time," Clinton said in a statement.
The Democratic senator from New York went on to say she looks forward to working with the incoming governor, David Paterson.
Clinton issued her statement through her Senate office, but the scandal has ramifications for her campaign.
When Spitzer steps down Monday, she will lose one of her superdelegates, those party officials whose support may end up deciding the Democratic presidential nomination if neither she nor Sen. Barack Obama show large gains in the remaining primaries ahead.
Spitzer, like the rest of New York's Democratic Party establishment, had been an outspoken booster of Clinton's campaign.
At a joint appearance last year in Washington, Clinton praised Spitzer for trying to "break some of the political pottery" in the New York capital of Albany.

“Bill is much better at that sort of thing”, she thought.
If Hillary would like to feel sad for some families, she might consider Juanitta Broaderrick and her family, Paula Jones and her family, and Kathleen Willey and her family, just to name a few.
She’s not too sad; she can now have a fall back position the next election for NY Gov. if she loses the run for Pres.
She’s thinking “that stupid Spitzer paid for it when he could have gotten it for free like Bill...Idiot”.
I’m “saddened” that the Sen. hasn’t fallen...down a flight of steps.
I'm deeply saddened Hillary is saddened.
Hillary to Lanny Davis - “He can still vote, can’t he?
Always knew Demonrats were crackpots....
SHE’s saddened by the loss of his super delegate vote.That’s all.
She better give Huma a raise seeing how that escort service is shut down . Gonna be tough to buy another brown noser with a big snoot !
Without Spitzer being able to get Pellicano and Flynt to help destroy people’s lives, he had no chance.
I really believe that Our Lord brought the evil and vile spitzer down. Spitzer is so evil that he was going to force Roman Catholic Hospitals to commit abortions (murder). As matter of fact, the very day that he got caught, March 10th, he was going to go to speak to planned parenthood then he was going to “talk” to Cardinal Egan. At Mass last week they were asking everyone to go to Albany for a “public policy day” to try to beg “Spit Vicious” not to impose this law on the Catholic Church. Thank God “Spit Vicious” was taken down. God will not be mocked.
Rape as an economizing measure?
Well at least Spitzer didn’t do that...but Bill did have consensual affairs along with some unwilling women.
