Is there no one, not even ONE, who can say ... "I never photographed by private parts and published them on the internet for MILLIONS to see, or, etc., etc., etc."Come on, New York, have more pride in yourself than that ..... don't confuse the "Big Apple" with the "Big Penis" ah, they are not the same thing. How could anyone honestly vote for him? He resigned in DISGRACE people, does that mean nothing?
Democratic mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has surged ahead of his opponents in a new NBC 4 New York/Wall Street Journal poll, transforming himself in just a few weeks from disgraced has-been to mayoral front-runner.
Weiner, who entered the race two years after resigning his congressional seat amid a sexting scandal, now leads City Council Speaker Christine Quinn in the crowded Democratic primary, setting up a new phase in what could end up being a remarkable political comeback.
Weiner leads Quinn 25 percent to 20 percent among registered Democrats, the poll by Marist found. That's a flip-flop from the last survey in May, when Quinn, the longtime front-runner, led Weiner 24 percent to 19 percent.
Just as telling is the number of registered New York voters who said they might vote for Weiner. Forty-nine percent said they'd consider it, up from 40 percent two months ago, before Weiner entered the race. Those who said they wouldn't consider voting for him dropped from 52 percent to 45 percent.
