License to nil


Still wondering what Hillary Rodham Clinton's position is on driver's licenses for illegal aliens? Apparently, so is she.


The New York Times says she clarified her position, with her campaign issuing a statement in which she says she supports New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.


"Senator Clinton supports governors like Governor Spitzer who believe they need such a measure to deal with the crisis caused by this administration's failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform," her campaign said, according to the Times.


But her campaign refused to clarify for other reporters, including The Washington Times' Christina Bellantoni. Clinton herself refused to talk about it on a conference call with reporters, and her campaign statement to the Times doesn't appear to settle things much anyway.


Supporting Spitzer's need to take action is different than supporting this particular action. In Tuesday's debate she said his plan was sensible, though she wasn't supporting it, though she could defend it, but wasn't actually defending it. Isn't that still what her campaign is saying?


Also, it's unclear whether her support includes Spitzer's embrace this weekend of Real ID — something Clinton voted for as part of a spending bill in 2005.
