Anthony Weiners campaign fund-raising has virtually dried up since revelations of a sexting relapse rocked his bid for mayor.
Weiner received an average of just $1,897 a day in donations since the new sexting scandal erupted July 23, campaign finance records released Friday show.
Thats a trickle of the $16,434 he received each day, on average, in the 50 days after launching his run for mayor on May 22.
The records also show that Weiners wife, Huma Abedin, collected no money on his behalf since the new sexting allegations emerged, after she collected nearly $150,000 in the first 50 days of his candidacy.

There are still fools sending $1,897 per day?That is the amazing part in all of this!

Those are just friends of Weiner and Huma who still think that if he can only get elected they will be given political favors. That’s the way it works in big-city politics.
The common folks are washing their hands of him for the most part.
He’s toast.

The correct term is the dough for “weiner shriveled.”

Those crazy New Yorkers just don’t appreciate the best candidate the Democratic [sic] party has ever offered them. That could be a side effect of global warming.

You are half right, the symbol for the democrat party should change from a donkey to a Dickie. Maybe a weinermobile with legs and decorated with condoms. Yuk!

Sorry, sometimes I go off half-cocked on whatever comes up.
I think I've got myself well in hand now.
