The NYT story on Spitzer’s retreat from giving licenses to illegals has him saying that he backed off because:

he came to believe the proposal would ultimately be blocked, he said, either by legal challenges, a vote by the Legislature to deny financing for the Department of Motor Vehicles or a refusal by upstate county clerks to carry it out.

I’m sure that’s all true, but does anyone doubt that Hillary sent him the equivalent of severed horse’s head to get him to change course? His plan would have kicked in, I believe, in May, allowing Republicans five uninterrupted months of attacks on her for backing it.
