As we've learned a short while ago, the state of New York is embroiled in another sex scandal, this one surrounding former Attorney General and first term Governor Eliot Spitzer allegedly trying to arrange for a high-priced prostitute to meet him in a Washington D.C. hotel room. 

The Governor had been expected to announce his resignation earlier today, but instead read a prepared statement in which he said he had done wrong, but his policies are bigger than any one individual.  He said he needed to take some personal time, but would report back soon. 

Meanwhile, on the national stage, the Spitzer scandal has implications.  He is a superdelegate, and has pledged his support for Hillary Clinton.  The Lieutenant Governor, David Paterson, also is a Clinton superdelegate.  The question that has to be asked is if Spitzer does try to remain in office in spite of the scandal, what does Team Hillary do with his superdelegate vote?  The Democratic nomination has reached the point where neither candidate can realistically achieve the necessary delegate count to claim the nomination outright, so the process is going to fall to the superdelegates.  And if Hillary is going to try and steal the nomination, she surely cannot afford to waste any superdelegate votes out there.  Will Hillary call for him to step down, or will she do the unthinkable, reminding people of all that was wrong with the Clinton administration in the 90's by defending him?

Does anyone else see the irony in Hillary Clinton supporters having to defend Spitzer becuase they need his superdelegate vote?  Does the Obama camp figure this out and press Hillary to reject his vote?
