NEW YORK Foes and supporters of embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner yelled at each other in front of the New York Democrat's district office on Sunday as congressional leaders called on Weiner to resign because of his sexting scandal.

The political commentators in DC have said that if he doesn't resign, he will be re-districted out in 2012.
That is, NY is going to lose 2 seats in Congress in 2012 - due to the 2010 Census. This means that they have to combine 2 districts into 2 other existing districts.
Prior to this, Weiner's district WASN'T going to be involved. NOW, it is - assuming he doesn't resign first.
They will re-district him into another district where the Representative is EXTREMELY popular. That Rep. will carry his EXISTING district by a mile and will ONLY need to win about 30% of Weiner's OLD district to win in the primary ...
“If he resigns, I can already see the headline: Weiner out!
Well, it does look like support is flagging...and he’s going to be facing a stiff re-election challenge, considering that he’s going to be in and out of the negative spotlight between now and 2012.
He should pull out while he’s ahead.
I wonder if his constituents who want to show their support shake his hand, knowing where it’s been.
He's not the retiring type!
He has a history of outdoing his last anti-GOP slander with a new, even bigger whopper that helps to brand the ‘rats as the scum that they are.
Much of my feeling about Weenie-Boy is based on the Alan Grayson experience in a neighboring district here in Florida. His outrages, including the immortal “Die quickly” helped to get out a huge anti-Grayson vote which made him a one-termer and I am sure helped other districts get out the vote to dump ‘rats.
Just accept the double standard. It exists and will never change anytime soon. The thing to do is to turn it back against them.
Hang in there, “Tough Tony.” You will be a big help to your enemies.
Sounds like DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is down on Wiener, too.
Unfortunately, Weiner is my congressman.
A Republican has a chance to win here if he seriously tried. Robert Turner was the first serious candidate and he won 40%. But I only knew about his campaign because he was mentioned in all the Weiner ads.
Ah, yes, Rev. Ike...I’d almost forgotten about that fraudster. Good analogy.
I thought his number was 743-6969.
..that’s using government facilities to pass smut, he should be prosecuted period!
