Politisite is hearing one source close to the Congressman that Weiner will resign by the end of the day or early Thursday.
A Marist poll by Weiners own constituents say he should not resign by a slim majority.
CNN is reporting that Privately colleagues are recommending that he resign quickly.
It was reported that Weiners wife, Huma Abedin, is Pregnant adding to the family stress level. Ironically Huma is with Secretary of State Clinton on Business who can probably help console Adedin during this time.
Democrat colleagues urging Weiner to resign ‘to preserve his own dignity’
A Democratic lawmaker familiar with discussions with and about Anthony Weiner tells CNN that Weiner’s colleagues are telling him this afternoon he should resign “to preserve his own dignity.”
This Democratic congressman says that this afternoon’s public call by Democratic Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pennsylvania, for Weiner to resign is part of a new stepped up effort to force Weiner out. The source said the effort includes private and public calls explicitly telling him it’s time to leave Congress.
“There is increased resentment by his colleagues that far from having a press conference where he was going to tell the truth and roll with the flames, the flames are just getting worse and he’s dragging us through it. We really thought by now, after the press conference, we would be able to talk about the Republicans’ Social Security privatization bill and instead we keep talking about Anthony Weiner. And people are getting angrier and more resentful,” said the Democratic congressman.
The lawmaker would not speak for the record in order to discuss private conversations, and would not give the names of Weiner’s colleagues making these private calls.

He also doesn't seem to be as "jockular.'
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.
Seriously? A new statement?
There’s some serious pathology on display here.
Wiener is just another elected weasel who instead of serving us or nation, serve their own ego and obsession to get reelected.
They don’t grasp that these scandals that they willfully create will inevitably hurt the country regardless of political party. As an example Bill Clinton’s problems with Monica Lewinsky, that he created, had a diversionary and deleterious effect on the nation and that likely led to Sept 11, Patriot Act, and to our current multiple wars. Elected officials need to understand that their election to office means they need to serve the nation and not their fantasies, cravings, whims and desires.
If she doesn’t divorce him..she’s crazy..she would easily get full custody
There is onbly ONE thing that could make this any better: a Charlie Sheen video supporting Weiner..
“But why...?”
Why not?
If he resigns - I can still see the possibility of him throwing his hat in the ring as a candidate for the NYC mayoral race. After all, his dignity will still be intact ;) coupled with his ego - it’s all possible.
Yep, just like The Clintoon was consoling the intern—Monika Lewinski.
How about The Spitzer-Wiener Hour? That should send all the little demrat sex hormones aflutter.
WRT your #102 post regarding the possibility of Huma being a Saudi agent, the Saudis would have had a win-win situation set up for themselves (certainly not US).
If Hillary manages to derail the rat in the WH and win the election, there’s their agent (if the speculation is true) also in the WH. If Hillary can’t do it, they’ve got themselves another possible route to the WH with the State Department covered in the mean time.
The most amusing thing to me is that, if the marriage is a sham to provide cover to Hillary in her presidential attempts, Weenie Boy just really screwed it up. I’ve never heard and read so many Hillary/Huma jokes...
He should not resign. He should stand proud and fast as the poster boy for Democratic values and morality...or lack there of.
Oh goodie. Now he and Elliot Spitzer can write books and go on tour together.
/s
That /s wasn’t really needed was it...
"He should stand proud and fast as the poster boy for Democratic values and morality...or lack there of."
....I’ll believe it when I see him packing his office and leaving....
Ha! I knew when I heard Rush say he wanted Wiener to stay as a constantly-visible poster boy for RAT corruption and perversion that the RAT leaders would wake up and get him ousted.
dignity went out the window long ago
My thoughts exactly brother.
We usually don't post one source statements to our site, but this one was reliable in the past. Those who know us, know we have a pretty good track record, but we blew this one.
Most folks I am talking to say he won't survive the weekend. Problem with that is we are talking about Anthony Weiner. I now have my doubts and think he really will try to stick it out (no pun intended)
Oh, Andrew Brietbart is totally pissed with The Opie and Anthony Show. My advise to Andrew,, don't carry naked photos of Weiner on your Phone.
