To avoid being browbeaten by republicans, the democrats should close ranks and support Spitzer now.
They need to play the same game republicans play when one of them is attacked.
Already the mouthpiece of republicans, Fox News, is falsely portraying as if Spitzer offered to resign.
The following should be the action plan of dems:
1. Refuse to comment anything about Spitzer instead saying "no comment" to any comment by anyone.
2. Go on offensive against republicans, and mention how many corrupt republicans spitzer has caught and convicted.
3. Refuse to acknowledge either in house or senate about spitzer's wrong-doing, act indignant if accused by republicans, and walkout of the senate and congress if forced to pass a resolution.
4. Go straight for the jugular: Bush, stating his broken promises, record inflation and lack of intelligence in even gasoline prices which are hurting the economy.
5. Divert attention from Spitzer by playing Zone Defense. Move press away from spitzer by concentrating on gasoline prices and how to tax Big Oil.
