Looks like Mrs. Spitzer's call to Hillary may not have been a joke after all. NY Times:
Close aides to the governor suggested on Tuesday that the mood in the Spitzer home was tense, with the governor's wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, recommending that he not step down, but they cautioned that the situation could change at any time.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
