Written off by election experts and shunned by the political establishment, Mr. Weiner has once again upended popular conceptions about him, vaulting to the front of the race for mayor. * * * Some of the groups that view him most positively are men, young people and African-American voters, according to the poll.

Weiner is rising to the occasion and may very well unload on the people of New York. Unfortunately, New Yorkers will willingly accept his shafting them.

Huma Abedin Blows Off Chuck Grassley
BY Dan Friedman
Huma Abedin, the wife Democratic mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner, has not responded to a request by a senior Republican senator for information on an unusual arrangement in which she worked part time for the State Department while also advising private clients.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote Abedin and the State Department on June 13 demanding details on Abedins work, while also representing private clients, as a special government employee under her longtime boss, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from June 2012 to Feb. 2013.

Well, Weiner is Jewish, a secular non-believing Jew in a city where such people make up the largest single segment of the populace. He married a Muslim, in a city in which Muslims are the fastest growing sector of the populace. His opponent Christine Quinn is a non-Jew and a declared, even boldly aggressive, sexual deviant, something that will alienate Blacks, Latinos and even Orthodox Jews appalled by Weiner’s behavior and non-belief. Weiner is a hands down winner. Not that it makes much difference: both candidates are obnoxious, baby-killing, statist gun grabbers who despise our country and our way of life.

New Yorkers will see him sworn in, standing tall, but after four hours they’ll want to consult with a physician.

If New Yorkers are stupid enough to vote the Weiner into the Mayor's office they will get exactly what they deserve. More lousy governance and more taxes on top of taxes. Frankly, Weiner would probably not be any worse than the other communists socialists running against him in the Democrat primary race. Weiner is just better known, albeit for the wrong reasons. But hey, it's New York: New York, New York, it's a wonderful town! The Bronx is up and the Battery's down. The people ride in a hole in the ground!

Right in the footsteps of Bubba Klintoon the great philanderer. Like Rush says, a good sex scandal is a heck of a resume enhancer for any RAT candidate. Remember when Klinoon’s poll numbers actually increased during his impeachment because after all those nasty Repubs were just after him because of his private sexual habits.

Once a weasel always a weasel
If citizens are so stupid as to ignore what people like this have done when they had power in the past and elect them again , these sorts of people should not have the power of the vote . We are allowing the swine to lead our nation to ruin . How is it their ‘right ‘ to do that ?

OTOH (pun), "revealing" tweets may become the new requirement for getting elected by depraved voters.

Exactly. Whoever runs and wins this election will govern in the same Socialist manner. New Yorkers are so lockstep Leftist they have rendered their mayoral election non-newsworthy.
To: AtlasStalled
It never ceases to amaze me that people are more concerned over the pervert running than his moslem “wife” who will be “first lady of New York City”, the city HER people decimated in 2001.
She’ll be the cheery on top of their destruction—a true symbol of their victory.

This notion that the people of NYC are smarter than all the rest of us is a crock. They’ll vote for any piece of human excrement as long as that creature has a D by his or her name.

Due to the corrupt people of NYC, Weiner rises high and firm in the pole poll.

” Whos surprised? Behavior like his hasnt really been a problem since about 1964. At least, not for Democrats.”
Not me. Dem voters fall into 1 of 3 categories: Socialism-first (the opinion-making leadership), the Low-Information (busy middle-class voters) and various Single-Issue groups (that are easily bought-off).
Often a Dem will fit into 2 of the three categories.

Considering all the psychotic commies and fascists they elected in the past, Weiner would probably be a move on up.

Are we surprised? Young kids bred by todays horrible mores, and African Americans who never seem to hold anyone responsible for moral failingsNow be fair! The Communist Commonwealth of Massachusetts where I am elected the corrupt, moronic killer, Ted Kennedy, to the Senate along with former gigolo Senator -- now gigolo Secretary of State -- John Forbes Kerry. And we in Massachusetts don't even have that many black people.
