According the reports I've been reading from AP & Reuters, his wife is the one urging him not to resign. I'm sure she is shell shocked, but it doesn't look to me like she is abandoning him. Reports seem quite to the contrary.

And why would she? Because he has an expensive hooker habit that will now be cured the hard way? No, there are much bigger things in a marriage to overcome than sexual peccadillos. Insiders say the marriage seems pretty solid. Of course this could derail it in the long run, but that is likely due to a betrayal of a different kind--the one Spitzer himself alluded to in his comments to the media.

I want him to ride this out. I don't want to see him resign, unless he is indicted. Then he will have to go. I just read his poll numbers were already at Bush levels--35%, and that in the polling done on him since the story broke, it had dropped to 30%. If everybody already hates him, he really doesn't have to resign. Look next door to see just how long one can hang onto the governor seat over a sex scandal.
