Hillary =/ Spitzer
Look, I'm an Obama supporter but lets not bullshit. Hillary is not responsible for Spitzer. Spitzer is responsible for Spitzer. Yeah, Hillary loses a superdelegate and I got no problem with that but for those in the Obama camp acting like this is some sort of Pro-Obama news, you're just dumb as a stack of bricks.

ALL THIS IS, IS BAD FOR DEMOCRATS. Period.

Quit trying to spin this into some sort of Anit-Hillary thing. That's just low down right there.

3. I don't think it is bad for democrats
There has been so much of this crap with male politicians and hookers that the public is immune already. It is all about Spitzer being an asshole.

20. The public loves a good scandal
We're not that far removed from the days of the coliseum. Republicans are placing this bullet in the clip right now...

5. Wanna bet that the crawlers on MSNBC, Fox, and CNN say this:


"NY Gov Spitzer, Clinton supporter, resigns over prostitution ring scandal"


This has as much relevance to Clinton as Rezko's trial has to Obama.

In both cases, an ASSOCIATE of the candidate is accused of breaking the law.


If Obama is guilty because he is associated with Rezko... then... well.... goose and gander kind of thing.

18. "NY Gov Spitzer, Clinton supporter, resigns over prostitution ring scandal"
Wont happen.

Yes they repeatedly use that kind of headline against Obama with Rezko, but they are too pro Clinton to try and damage her with biased headlines.

I think thats part of the reason Obama supporters here are willing to tie Hillary with a big supporter of hers now that he's in trouble.

7. I don't think this will affect Hillary in any way
and I think the whole story will disappear pretty quickly. It's big news here in NY, but it's not going to make any kind of impact nationally, and there's no way it will affect HRC's campaign.

8. Your right, this is not good in a broad sense. But you do know if this
was linked to Obama that this board would light up like a christmas tree.

21. I would assume he'd be stripped of SD status
if indited. Even if not indited he's admitted to it and should be stripped of SD status on principal. If he's not...we is not better than they.

17. I truly believe
given the opportunity Penn or Wolfson would spin it against their opponent. I agree it should not be spun.

19. Agreed.
I was surprised a few posts made it up trying to make that connection. I think that's unfair and just wrong.
