How happy is Sen. Hillary Clinton that Gov. Spitzer stirred up his licenses-for-illegals firestorm?
Not very, we'd guess.
She's been talking from both sides of her mouth on the issue since last week's presidential debate - and her dissembling appears to be costing her.
A Rasmussen poll showed that Clinton's support in New Hampshire (the site of the debate) has dropped sharply: She was up by 23 points a month ago, but is now defending a narrowing, 10-point lead over Sen. Barack Obama.
This shouldn't surprise.
A recent Washington Times national poll showed 77 percent of Americans believe illegal aliens shouldn't be allowed to have driver's licenses.
This is understandable: Illegal immigration is a major concern in America - one Washington steadfastly refuses to deal with.
