Of course not, New York Slimes. Keep telling yourselves that.
Democrats declared yesterday that Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s plan to give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants had not proved to be the electoral boon Republicans had hoped for in local elections, despite the Republicans’ aggressive efforts to exploit overwhelming public opposition to the proposal.
Folks, it’s such a non-issue, that members of Spitzers own party have…threatened to sue him.
In most of those areas where Mr. Spitzer’s licensing proposal moved to the forefront of the campaign, Democrats were able to cauterize the issue by publicly breaking with the governor, harshly criticizing the plan and in some cases threatening to join lawsuits challenging it.
Issue? What issue? Oh, you mean those polls saying that over 70% of Americans are opposed to the plan? Never you mind those.
H/t Hot Air.
