Former Rep. Anthony Weiner is laying the groundwork for a political comeback, possibly as a startling addition to this years mayoral race, sources said yesterday.
Political insiders were abuzz at news that Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, had granted a lengthy magazine interview for the first time since his resignation in an embarrassing sexting scandal in 2011.
The magazine piece is step one of a two-step process for him to run citywide this year, said one Democratic Party source.
Hes looking at public advocate and comptroller, but he really thinks he can use this to get back in and run for mayor.
Weiner issued a terse no comment when asked about his plans.
Weiner has $4.3 million left in his campaign account, including $248,710 that would be matched 6-to-1 under the public-financing system.
A second source said Weiner has been contacting former staffers to prepare for his re-entry into politics.

That's as ridiculous as Rahm Emmanuel running for mayor of Chicago.

They got a weiner for mayor now. Can’t imagine one more could make it any worse.

He’ll campaign on a “Foot Long in Every Pot and a Big Gulp to Wash It Down.”

Wow, what an improvement! NYC exchanges Mike “nanny” Bloomberg for Anthony “pervert” Weiner. That's REAL hope and change. Way to go NYC.

Pervert for Mayor of NYC.
Everyone’s seen his goods/junk.

If you like to wag your weenie at underage chicks, where better to be than in charge of the place where there are more of them than practically anywhere else? This must be Huma’s idea, Wiener is too dumb to think of it himself.
