The Occasional Observer

Every once in a while I see something that restores my faith in humanity, and this is that story. Looks like Spitzer has been forced to withdraw his stupid plan to provide illegals with driver's licenses. I'm pleased to see that even in as strong a liberal hotbed as NY some common sense can still prevail, even though these same people elected both Hillary and Spitzer. This is my favorite part of the article:

The decision to wave the white flag was cemented as a Siena Research Institute poll released yesterday showed Spitzer with his lowest approval ratings ever - with just 25 percent of voters saying they would support his re-election if the vote were held today.

One source said Spitzer had failed because he "just tried to push [the plan] down everyone's throats."

Really? Spitzer trying to shove his idea of justice down people's throats? But that seems so unlike all of his previous actions as the AG; who among the electorate could possibly have foreseen this type of brazen power grab???
