Spitzer and Bonacic

What, exactly, should we conclude from this?

"On Monday, Spitzer held an hour-long, one-on-one meeting with Sen. John Bonacic-R-C-Mount Hope. Bonacic and Spitzer talked about the Mohawk casino, health care and property taxes, sources in government say."

Spitzer has already hired one person from the Senate Republican conference and talk is he's looking for another. And Bonacic, for what it's worth, seems ripe for the picking.

Bonacic recently bucked his conference by refusing to vote for Joe Bruno for majority leader. It was not, in any way that's apparent to me, the action of someone who's planning to stay in his current job for the long term.

Let's see -- Balboni, Robach and one more Republican Senator to leave the ranks makes Minority Leader Bruno.

Bruno needs to do something (like step down) to stem the bleeding from his circular firing squad.
