The Best Defense...
The State Democratic Party is starting to execute something resembling an organized push-back to the Spitzer Trials, criticizing Senate Republicans for the hearing they held in Albany yesterday after a Daily News editorial today called it a partisan show.
“This is not an investigation, this is Act One of Saving Joe Bruno’s Majority, coming to theatres near you in November, 2008,” said Dave Pollak, the Co-Chair of the state party, in a statement.
Chairwoman June O‘Neill said, “Eliot Spitzer has already demonstrated that he is vigorously determined to finally elect a Democratic State Senate as a necessary step to getting things done for the people of New York. Senate Republicans will go to any length to tie up and obstruct this Governor so he can't bring much needed change to Albany.”

I'm shocked that the Chairs of the NY state Democratic party are coming out with statements to this affect. I did not believe that it could be this corrupt, and am beginning to doubt my reasons for voting D.
On the other hand, since Spitzer appointed both Pollak and O'Neill, he's using every ounce of his power to supress this story and his own actions, which it's become increasingly clear must be implicated in this situation.
sheela I disagree.
The Senate Republicans should heed City Councilman James Oddo's advice about overplayin their hand. This is starting to get old.
While Spitzer focuses on issues like infrastructure and the MTA, the GOP will still be playing the victim and lose credibility.
