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.

But you’ve insulted dogs....
That’s the way the ball bounces. Sometimes life is nuts.
LOL!
Please don’t share what keywords you used to find that!
yes, but the Wiener will be erected from the ashes one day...
Could child services take away a kid from a parent who did what Weiner has done?
Darn it. I wanted him to stay. Now they'll just give him a cushy job behind the scenes and he'll still have his say on things without the face time.
Anyone....???
That dog won't hunt.
Der Weiner probably thinks this poor child will save his own arse.
Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton disagree.
Humma Weiner???
Maybe when she watches lingerie football.
His lawyer is claiming that the evidence won’t stand up in court.
“I deeply regret that (poor dogs) misinterpreted my (error in judgment). When I made my initial (statement) I intended for (poor dogs) to (get the joke) and not come to the conclusion that I (disrespected our canine citizens). I love (the children) and with all that is within me I’ll (try to be more clear in my Demo-hate) . Now please join with me to work for a better America.”
Thank you.
WHAT dignity ???
He pissed ANY shred of it he had away when he LIED and pointed fingers at "hackers".
How’s about carnival freak?
The season is just starting.
Who would have figured this might happen when Bill Clinton officiates at your wedding?
If the Breitbart pic is genuine - then she prolly WAS happy with Weiner ...
