Spitzer's woes "He tried bravado, he tried apologies and he tried silence. Sooner or later, Eliot Spitzer is going to have to try the truth," New York Daily News columnist Michael Goodwin writes. "That's the loud-and-clear message from the latest voter survey on what New Yorkers think about the dirty tricks plot cooked up in Gov. Spitzer's office. His Plans A, B and C about how to fudge and duck the Eliot Mess didn't work. Big doubts about Spitzer's honesty are sticking in voters' throats, and they won't go away until he raises his right hand and swears to tell the whole truth," Mr. Goodwin said. "A whopping 70 percent of those responding to a new Siena College poll not only want the rookie Democrat to testify — they want him to do it publicly. A mere one in four believes he has been honest so far. That's a resounding 'NO SALE' response to the governor's efforts to make the issue go away without first coming clean. "The poll released [Tuesday] confirms earlier ones by Siena and others that it's the cover-up more than the initial incident bugging voters. Most important is the finding that a clear majority of respondents, 53 percent to 27 percent, believe Spitzer has not told the truth. The same question in a Siena poll in July brought an almost identical result, 51 percent to 28 percent. "People's views have not changed in six weeks," said Steven Greenberg, a spokesman for Siena's Research Institute. "They believed in July that Spitzer knew what his aides were doing, and they continue to believe it."
