Has Obama made any statement on Spitzer?
What is Obama's take on this, does he think Spitzer is guilty and should resign or what?

1. Why should he?
I don't think either of them should bring this up unless asked. If he brings it up Clinton supporters will cry foul and claim he is trying to attack her, even if he doesn't mention her name. This has nothing to do with him...why should he make a statement?

2. Well Spitzer is a major Democratic governor
I'm sure he will be asked sooner or later.

Obama will have to take a stand one way or the other so I wonder what statement he will make.

3. Time reports:
Obama has no comment on Spitzer, hasn’t “seen the details of it.”

5. I agree with you re: Obama. But..
Hillary, in her capacity as Senator of NY, has no choice but to address this insomuch as it involves her state.

9. Exactly what I just said, Why should he?

What a silly question. He and Hillary are buddies. Let her answer that.

4. You mean other than being faithful to his wife and not being involved in prostitution?
What do you want him to say?

10. Very nice of her. What asshole would ask her about this? Did they ask her about his wife, too?
I suppose I don't mind bare-knuckle gutter brawlers so much, I just mind ones who do that and portray themselves as sweetness and light because they've found the messiah.

Once again, most supporters of each candidate have handled themselves well by avoiding this, yet there's always plenty of self-justified character assassination to go around.

7. Put me in the "why should he" column.
This has NOTHING to do with the primary. I don't care who you support or oppose. Spitzer is not "Clinton's fault" nor is his situation any kind of "opportunity" for Obama.

Sheesh.
