The Nation -- New York Governor Eliot Spitzer had to be dragged onboard the Hillary Clinton for President campaign.
Now, he's another headache for Clinton.
Spitzer, who earned a national reputation as a crime buster, was busy apologizing Monday after having been linked--via a federal investigation--to a prostitution ring.
"I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family...
my sense of right and wrong," admitted Spitzer, in a brief statement delivered at his Manhattan office. "I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust to my family."
Ouch.
Ouch for Spitzer.
Ouch for all New York Democrats, including a certain New York senator.
The first question is an ugly one: Will Spitzer, one of Clinton's highest profile backers and the man who was going to lead the New York delegation at this summer's Democratic National Convention, quit politics?
