For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Spitzer supposedly will resign today (paragraph break removed):
Gov. Eliot Spitzer has decided to resign and began notifying top state officials of his decision just after 9 a.m., The Post has learned. Word began circulating of his decision in state political circles just minutes ago, which came after what one source called "an agonizing night," as the governor's wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, and the governor's lawyers went over a possible plea deal offered by federal prosecutors, sources told The Post.
What might this plea deal involve? Would he be resigning so quickly if this wasn't an election year? Do you think he's gotten pressure from the Democrat Party to hastily quit so that this issue can get off radar screens before folks start connecting the dots between him and Hillary? Will press members ever divulge to the public that he was a Democrat?
