Anthony Weiner had it all. Had. And will never have again.
As a powerful progressive congressman who never had a serious election challenge before 2010, he was considered the heir to Senator Chuck Schumers throne. He also had an early lead for the 2013 mayoral electiona position he had been vying for since his 2005 defeat in the Democrat primary.
And with one tweet it was all gone. Despite Weiners ambition to rise again to become New Yorks mayor, the electoral and demographic math simply isnt there...

What Weiner and all the other non-Quinn candidates are hoping for is a run-off where they can run to the left of Quinn.
But is there support for Weiner to even place second? The once strong population of liberal New York City Jewish voters, which would have been a kingmaker for the lone Jewish candidate several decades ago, are no longer as relevant.
The Weiner campaign belongs to a different time. To paraphrase from Enoch Powell, Anthony Weiners career, like all political lives, will end in failure.

Weiner needs to pull out.
I predict Weiner will be shaken by the experience, and limp off into the sunset
He might have done better if he hadn’t been quite so obvious about his... uh... Weiner.
If articles this early in the race are any indication, Weiner’s going to have to work real hard to stay up in the polls.
and go blind.
As opposed to getting beaten soft?
No way I'm gonna believe the author wrote that line unintentionally.
I think the women voters will be disappointed if he peaks too soon.
Wonder if he has a doctor working on his campaign?

The man won’t survive the “weiner” jokes.
“Stiff competition...”
ROTFLMAO
His candidacy is the gift that never stops giving.
IMHO
Poor choice of words/ A Weiner beaten hard is just too easy,
Of course, his opponent could run an ad about how “If you think about voting for Weiner for more that 4 hours, seek medical help immediately.”
Worst headline ever.
If he gets a money raft he’ll do much better than this article suggests. May not win, but will place or show.
Is this a penis joke?
When a problem comes around ....
Just like there was no way America would elect a muslim named Barack Hussein Obama in a post-9/11 world...
Weiner doesn’t have a tribe? Maybe he can join Paleface Lizzy Warren’s tribe. I think she belongs to the Whitefeet tribe.
Seems like people here never get tired of flogging the Weiner.
