Clearly a partisan Democrat like Spitzer is most interested in the ethical recovery of his own party through the re-creation of a reform wing. But I think he should reach out to fair minded Republicans as well.
Much as it might benefit the Democrats to have the Republicans wallow in the mire, the state would benefit from a viable two-party system. Then again, but cutting the Republicans off from their last source of patronage, Spitzer could chase off those whose main goal is to get paid, leaving a vaccume for others to move into.
I like the plan, but I'd like a part-two.
