Does anyone else remember back when Eliot Spitzer could do no wrong and was being hailed as the most likely candidate for first Jewish president? It seems like a very long time ago.

CNN is reporting that Spitzer, who was in DC meeting with the New York delegation, will announce plans to withdraw his controversial driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants proposal today.

The RNC already sent out a press release, crowing: “Hillary Left Holding The Bag.”
