New York Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced yesterday that he would resign effective Monday. That's not the most interesting thing about the Spitzer saga to hit the news yesterday. This is:

Close aides to the governor suggested on Tuesday that the mood in the Spitzer home was tense, with the governor’s wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, recommending that he not step down, but they cautioned that the situation could change at any time.

Why? What's going through his wife's mind that she was urging him not to step down? She's not a fool. She was an accomplished corporate lawyer. After his marital infidelity and the attendant public embarrassment does she continue to believe that the sun shines out his rear end?
