You may find that headline confusing because it is. But remember, Bill Clinton was the first black president. Maybe Anthony Weiner can be the second black mayor.
Stranger things have happened. And it turns out that there’s nothing a White Hispanic can’t accomplish for the Democratic Party without even meaning to.
Repeated polling has found a racial gap in the races for mayor and comptroller: black voters are far more likely than white voters to view Mr. Spitzer and Mr. Weiner favorably, and more likely to say they deserve a second chance.
How big a split is it?
Spitzer, the former governor running for city comptroller, leads opinion polls over his Democratic primary rival Scott Stringer only because of black voter support. Spitzer leads among likely Democratic voters 49% to 45% in the most recent poll released July 25 from Quinnipiac Polling Institute. That’s because black voters favor him 63% to 33%. Among white voters, Spitzer – who left the governor’s office in 2008 when it was revealed he solicited prostitutes – trails Stringer by more than 20 points.
In the mayor’s race, Weiner’s support has tanked among white voters since he revealed that he continued to send salacious text messages to women for a year after he left Congress in 2011. Just 7% of white Democratic likely voters back him, according to a July 29 Quinnipiac poll, down from 23% in a poll taken five days previous. But nearly a quarter of black voters still support Weiner: 24%, down from 31% in the previous poll.
If there wasn’t a black candidate in the race, Weiner might be doing even better.....

We are all George Zimmerman.
Yes.
It seems blacks savor the opportunity to vote for other blacks and degenerates.
And black degenerates above all others.
Like a proto-Muslim, homosexual, drug-addicted mulatto?
Sad cultural divide - blacks have become so excited about seeing someone put one over on “the man”, someone get around the traditional, solid element of society, that they will vote for anybody who seems outside and especially opposed to the decent majority.....
Because nothing says racial injustice like backing a sleaze.
Go Arnold Horshack!
that Weiner don’t need a lot of support
Exhibit A, of everything that is wrong.
...A desperate con artist, a potential low information voter and a corrupt broadcast media.
Hmm, and here I had read that Weiner’s campaign had gone limp.
Won’t be a problem after CWII.
Premature abdication?
How ironic. CWI was fought for blacks. CWII is being fought against them.
It's tribalism at its worst and the Democrats know how to play to it.
Mind you, it's not that I hate blacks. I hate how too many of them hold themselves back, negatively affecting the rest of us, instead of waking up and working to create a better society.
