"Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, 2002

 Her Governor's In Trouble, But Clinton's Not Talking
The governor of her state -- who also happens to be one of her highest-profile backers -- is in trouble, big trouble. But Hillary Clinton doesn't want to go there.

The governor of her state -- who also happens to be one of her highest-profile backers -- is in trouble, big trouble. But Hillary Clinton doesn't want to go there.Asked about the burgeoning prostitution scandal involving New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, the usually loquacious senator from New York said, "I don't have any comment on that."Pressed on the matter again, and again, as she was campaigning in Pennsylvania for the Democratic presidential nomination, Clinton was steadily evasive."Let's wait and see what comes out of the next few days," said Clinton."Right now I don't have any comment," said Clinton.O.K., it's clear that Clinton doesn't want to talk about Spitzer's troubles.But it was not always so.Last year, Clinton talked and talks about how very much she wanted Spitzer's backing, and how important she thought it was to her presidential campaign.Getting Spitzer on board was critical to locking up New York state as she prepared to go national. When the two had run in 2006, Spitzer had actually run better than Clinton statewide, and she knew she did not want any uncertainty about his support for her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.Clinton got her man. After some serious prodding, he endorsed her candidacy.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. The governor reportedly reportedly paid $4,300 to spend the night before Valentine's Day with a young lady at Washington's swank Mayflower Hotel."I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family... [and] 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.
