Being an alcoholic lesbian who abuses her staff(Quinn) or a lying narcissistic sexual deviant (Weiner) is not a hinderance with Democratic Party primary voters. No doubt they will run first and second in the primary election. Sadly one of them will probably be the next mayor of New York and transform the once greatest city in the world into another Detroit.
Hillary! will have to make a difficult choice between Weenie and DeVal Patrick for her VP in 2016.
that’s what she said.
How would you feel if you were one of the other Dem mayoral candidates who is actually losing to Weiner? Maybe if they called a press conference and then mooned the press, they could pull up even in the polls.
I can think of no reason at all why New Yorkers shouldn’t be smacked in the face by Weiner for years to come.
He’s perfect for them.
Weiner may just slide in there.
Isn’t there a typo in the name of the poll? Didn’t they leave out an “x”? Lol.
Is he rising in the poles?
Being Mayor of New York City is definitely not a missionary position.
Anybody know the election rules in NYC?
Does the most votes win or have to get a majority?
Definitely rising to the occasion.
Actually, it’s based on length... maybe some extra points for diameter...
With slogans like A WEINER IN EVERY BUN. And once elected you will RELISH ME. It no wonder this WEINER has risen in the polls.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
LMAO
Anthony wins the election: Weiner wins by ...the skin of his.....oh, wait, I forgot...he’s Jewish....
Weiner’s growth, lead extended!
How about despot Mike Bloomberg? They complain “Oh the guy is a tyrant! He is making life hell!” Then he overturns term limits and what do they do? Reelect him again!
