Public Wants Spitzer Gone
A new poll of New York residents says that a vast majority want Eliot Spitzer out of the governors office. And they are willing to have him removed if he won't go on his own.
A poll released late Tuesday found that 70 percent of New Yorkers think Spitzer should resign, while 66 percent believe he should be impeached and removed from office if he doesn't.
"It's a big thumbs down," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll. "It points to just how politically untenable his position is right now."
Those are some bleak numbers. Kinky Eliot better be negotiating for his plea bargain fast - he's running out of time. The voters want him to go away.

Well, I was wrong. Spitzer did resign. I had believed that if he had held on for the first few days after the scandal broke and circled the wagon, the MSM and their Democrat pets would follow suit. They did with Slick Willie, so it was not a bad guess.
Maybe this poll had something to do with Spitzer’s decision to step down.

Does anyone know anything about Spitzer’s replacement? The Lt Gov waiting in the wings. Is he competent or merely a political token? I have no idea who he is.
