As The Tide Came In

Here is the progression of Times headlines covering the collapse of the Spitzer plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants:

Nov 7:   New York Democrats Say License Issue Had Little Effect

Nov 8:   Congressional Democrats Grow Wary of Spitzer License Plan

Nov 10:  Spitzer Showing Signs of Shift on License Plan

Nov 13:  Spitzer to Drop His License Plan    

Nov 13 (revised):  Spitzer Dropping Plan of Licenses for Illegal Immigrants

 

Regardless of the headline, each article told the same story - Democrats were running away from the plan.  Eventually the headline gurus caught up.  My early derision is here, here, and here.

Spitzer just caught the warys,TM

The key words in your peroration, Tom, are "Democrats were running away..."

[Bre]

c.1440, from L. perorationem (nom. peroratio) "the ending of a speech or argument of a case," from peroratus, pp. of perorare "argue a case to the end, bring a speech to a close," from per- "to the end" + orare "to speak, plead" (see orator).

Spitzer was using the driver's license issue to keep his illegal efforts ginst Bruno off the news cycle.

See that Spitzer's 70% favorability ratings, when he took office as governor, are now in the 30% region.

Toss in the state police helicopter scandal and there are even rumbles that Spitzer is done, dead meat, finished. If he doesn't get state paid residency as a convict, he will be out on the street at the next election.

It might have had the opposite effect - at least outside of NY. Spitzer is become a household name, and that's a bad thing for him I think.

[Jane]

Spitzer has become a household name.

[centralcal]

Yes, Jane, you are right - he has become a household name. I think he's about to become even more famous due to the insistance on paying NY sales tax when ordering on-line!

Dems love their taxes, except when THEY have to pay them!

[Clarice]

Spitzer got the warys on the sales tax proposal, too , and has withdrawn it.

Warys Strike Again

[hit and run]

Spitzer, dude, embrace the Costanza Principle.
