Ohio Democrat Attorney General Marc Dann spent the entire 2006 campaign saying he wanted to be “Ohio’s Eliot Spitzer”. Well it appears that this is one campaign promise he’ll be able to fulfill to the voters of Ohio.

Oh, state and local Democrats behaving VERY badly.

Is this the beginning of the end of New York Democrat Governor Eliot Spitzer’s first and only term as Governor of the Empire State?
As the state’s Democrat Attorney General he was feared mightily by titans of business nationwide. Every Democrat A.G. wannabe wanted to be like Eliot. With his square jaw, and sue ’em all and let God sort em out attitude – the sky was the limit for A.G. Spitzer.
Well, now it appears that the man so beloved by the Dems for cleaning up big business, now may need someone to come and sweep up behind him. You may recall earlier the issue of the Governor’s senior staff using state police resources for intelligence gathering – that’s all well and good when it’s for criminals – not all well and good when it’s for getting the political scoop on your rivals on the other side of the partisan divide.
Spitzer got his nose bloodied pretty good by the New York media, had severe words for his staff members, and was looking for a way out of the mess. Well, he may have found it.
The aide who was banished – well shockingly he’s back in the saddle (and in the Governor’s office) after Spitzer …changed his tune yesterday and insisted, “He didn’t violate any rule, any law, any ethical obligation that we are aware of.”
Spitzer, who restored Dopp to his $175,000-a-year job as communications director Monday, also claimed the punishment of his longtime aide was “perhaps arguably too severe.”
This stuff is just so rich. The New York Post goes on to say:
The panel is probing the use of the State Police by Dopp and other top aides to the governor to gather supposedly damaging information on Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno (R-Rensselaer.)
Dopp’s lawyer suggested earlier this month that his client’s loyalty to the governor might not hold if he were not returned to the state payroll.
What is it with Democrats and their lawyers being used to deliver messages to people? Early this week it was Arizona’s Democrat A.G. Terry Goddard, now team Spitzer’s lawyers are doing the same type of thing?
Now, are you ready for the icing?

Aides to Bruno said earlier this week that they believed Spitzer put Dopp back on the payroll to buy his silence before the commission and the Albany County District Attorney’s Office, which is also probing the scandal.
What stinks for Spitzer is that the Governor’s office Inspector General, that’s the internal watch dog, has been called to testify on this whole mess. Not a story that’s going away any time soon.
Definitely a Democrat behaving badly – let’s put him in with Ohio’s Democrat A.G. Marc Dann, and Arizona’s Democrat A.G. Terry Goddard for now. Just trying to be like Eliot.
