Thirty-six hours after being tagged forever as "Client 9," the Governor of New York has yet to resign - despite ongoing revelations about the length of his involvement with (6 years or more) and the amount of money he's spent on (roughly $80,000) prostitutes. There are reports that Spitzer will make it official today, but that hasn't been speedy enough for the New York papers, four of which ran a second straight day of editorials:

The NY Daily News, "What a Sorry Spectacle:"

It should have been fast. It should have been clean. It should have been a show of honor amid abject humiliation. Instead, Eliot Spitzer continues to demean the governorship of the State of New York.

There is but one direction for him, and that is out.

The New York Post, "Get Gone, No 9:"

Time's up, Eliot.

Get yourself gone.

That's what Gov. Spitzer - now bunkered up in his plush Fifth Avenue hideout waiting for a miracle - needs to hear.

And then Client No. 9 needs to leave.

Newsday, "For good of New York, Spitzer should resign:"

What we said yesterday, we say again today: Gov. Eliot Spitzer should resign. He should do it for the good of New York, and he should do it soon.

Even the New York Times, which didn't call for Spitzer's resignation yesterday, took a step in that direction, expressing a similar sense of frustration and impatience with the Gov.:

Gov. Eliot Spitzer has now twice violated his obligations to the people of New York. He violated their trust when, according to law enforcement officials, he patronized a prostitution ring. He compounded that violation Tuesday by hiding in his Fifth Avenue apartment and refusing to explain his actions or his future plans.

To put it bluntly, Mr. Spitzer must either resign immediately or explain why he deserves to continue in office. It is almost impossible for us to imagine how he can survive this scandal and provide the credible leadership that his state needs.

Will today be the end of the road for the former Sheriff of Wall Street? With this kind of relentless media drumbeat, it's hard to see how he can stick it out much longer.

UPDATE: This ought to get Spitzer's attention. According to a new Marist poll, 70% of New York State voters think Spitzer should resign, 66% say the legislature should impeach the Governor if he fails to step down, and 49% say Spitzer should face criminal charges for his conduct.

In a non-scientific survey on the WNBC web site with more than 5,000 responses, 89% say Spitzer should resign while 11% say he should stay because "this is a private matter, and shouldn't affect his public life."
