Spitzer Timing: a Ploy to Help HRC?

He could have resigned Monday. No, he waited until today, the day after Obama walks away with the Mississippi primary. His delay kept media speculation at fever pitch and his story at the top of the news, bumping Obama's latest victory to a footnote, denying the Illinois Senator a chance to show "momentum." He is a Clinton superdelegate, after all. Coincidence? Or a ploy to help Hillary?

Pretty cynical there.

I think it is more hurtful for the Democratic Party as a whole in general.

I hope your tongue is firmly in cheek. Attempting to tie the two events together is truly bizarre. Why yes, he deliberately humiliated himself, his wife and family, too, and choreographed his appearance before the cameras solely in the misguided attempt to detract from a minor victory in a republican state. You are really reaching here. Now I'll go back to ignoring you for a while.

Anon #2, I think you might be doing the reaching here - all Scott said was that Spitz may have delayed his resignation by a day. I doubt he got the original hooker with Hillary in mind (you have to pay extra for that!).
