Spitzer Taking a Page from the Larry Craig Playbook?

Remember how Larry Craig was going to resign the same day, and then he was going to resign quite soon, and then he announced a resignation that would take effect somewhat down the road, and when that time came...he didn't resign?

I wonder if that could work for Eliot Spitzer. And more to the point: I wonder if Spitzer thinks it can work for him. After all, Larry Craig strung people along for a while, and while he's not seeking re-election, he wasn't forced to resign. Mightn't Spitzer figure that he can do the same?
