Sheinkopf: The Republicans Need Him as a Pinata

Democratic consultant and former Spitzer campaign operative Hank Sheinkopf doesn't think Eliot Spitzer is necessarily through, but he admits the governor's situation does not look good at all. His fate depends, he said, on the decision of his Democratic colleagues.

"Never count Eliot Spitzer out. Let's have some pity for his family and himself. Someone else might have had a better chance of beating this, but he presented [himself] as the sheriff of Wall Street, the beacon of morality, but he was eaten by something deep inside. Is he done? The Republicans probably don't want him done because they need a piƱata. Now the Democrats may want him to go; it depends on how much mileage they think the Republicans can get out of this."

Republicans might need him, but New Yorkers don't. Bring on Paterson so he can get beat in 2010 by a Republican. This is good news. Spitzer's polls were low and after his driver's license fiasco for illegals, he deserved no less.
Idiot.

Republicans are in the driver's seat now. 2010 was already going to be a Republican year due to Democratic overreach in 06 and 08. Who knows what will happen? One thing is sure, Spitzer has lost the governor's mansion for the Democrats.

Pinata? Spitzer was already digging his own grave; the New York Times stated some folks had buyers remorse, no joke.

Studied your cosmetics bag before it in your constitution. Simply chanel bags could consist of a simple bag with zipper, but many bags of cosmetic sections for the storage of jewelry, the slot eyebrow pencils, brushes and a main compartment for your toilet. Some bags are for the individual subjects liquid element.
