Driving Mrs. Clinton

Russert to Clinton -- Are you supportive of Gov. Elliot Spitzer's proposal to give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants?

A dodgy HRC said it's a matter of probability. "We have several million at any one time who are in New York illegally" and accidents happen, Clinton said.

But then she bobbed a bit, adding that she did not say she supports the initiative but that she recognizes that Spitzer is attempting to address a broader immigration issue.

Dodd was having none of it. Driving, he said, "is a privilege, not a right."

Obama and Edwards seized the moment as evidence that Clinton is disingenous or prone to waffling. Both went after her for not giving a clear yes or no answer about the Spitzer plan.
