There will be no driving privileges for illegal aliens in the Empire State any time soon:
A humbled Gov. Eliot Spitzer — facing an insurrection from New York Democrats — is ditching his controversial plan to grant driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants that provoked a massive national backlash.
Spitzer will announce he’s “scrapping the plan” after a meeting of the state’s congressional delegation on Capitol Hill this morning, according to his spokeswoman, Christine Anderson.
Spitzer’s epiphany won’t be enough to save his political bacon though, as NY state voters are ready to scrap him when 2010 comes around.

I’d like to see them scrap him prior to the end of his term. He was an overreaching Attorney General, using his power there for purposes of extortion, and I have no doubt he’s continued that now that he’s governor.
