Last week we introduced you to the joys of the Google Trends tool. With an idle moment this morning, we decided to pop in three names -- Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Eliot Spitzer -- just to see if people are paying attention to the Democrat’s downfall in New York.

Yep, they are.

We’ve already posted today about the travails of Silda Spitzer, and her decision to stick with her errant husband, at least for now. A lot of people wonder what they would do in similar circumstances. But a lot of people are also quite sure about what they’d do. You can weigh in here, and also toss thoughts on our comments section.

And as a refresher, here’s a photo array of some of the transgressors and their wives. Looks like an awful lot of pain in some of those faces.
