Today I say do not write off Anthony Weiner.
Here’s a fact about elections: they are competitive contests between candidates, each of whom brings certain baggage. Polls that ask questions about a single candidate, measuring negative or favorable response are useful, but the thing to always remember is that they fail to mirror the process of choice voters make.
That’s why it would be foolish to dismiss the idea of Anthony Weiner presenting himself to the voters in the Democratic primary. That he comes with baggage is incontrovertible. That he is as right as rain on any number of key issues is true as well. He may well, moreover, be the most moderate of the Democratic contenders, and there are those of us who miss the day when there was someone standing on this line.
Certainly we can ill afford to leave the field as is. Mr. Weiner’s creative energy and firm grasp of the details of city government should outweigh the personal problems, even if he has brought them upon himself. He deserves to be considered seriously by Democrats. His quirky personality, tempered a bit by the public relations inferno from which he recently emerged, is reminiscent of some of New York’s great mayors.
One thing is certain about Anthony Weiner. He has energy.
This is why I encourage him to enter the race. Once he is participating in the debates, his knowledge and policy prowess would change this contest for the better. Unencumbered by ties to the traditional power brokers of the irrational left and labor union demands, he stand apart from the current field, free to say what he thinks, which I believe more closely mirrors the concerns of New Yorkers than any of the other candidates.

Hilarious!
Someone should use those pics of weiners weenie on a campaign poster.
Elect Weiner, he is a real _ _ ick!
Great. Going from a mayor who acts like a d*** to a mayor who shows his d***.
Apparently you must be a wiener to be mayor of NYC now. At least if you’re democrat.
NYC hasn’t elected anyone with a (D) after their name since 1989. Perhaps the GOP could bestow an (R) upon him as they did with Bloomberg, THEN maybe he could be a shoe-in.
I’m sure that his opportunity is firm and that his chances are ever upward.
“I’m sure that his opportunity is firm and that his chances are ever upward.”
ROTFLMAO
May I steal that one?.
No matter what, one must admit that Mr. Weiner is an elite, brilliant, intensely intelligent, highly educated, highly knowledgeable, intellectual, Progressive genius.
/S/
IMHO
The MSM sure loves faggoty weiners.
ROTFLMAO May I steal that one?.
Feel free to rise to the occasion.
Why not...if Mark Sanford can make a political comeback, why not Weiner.
And don’t look now, even John Edwards is looking to make his return to politics.
