"Anthony, I'm leaving"

NEW YORK—Anthony Weiner’s campaign manager reportedly quit Saturday amid turmoil over the mayoral hopeful’s admission that he exchanged lewd messages with women he met online even after a sexting scandal forced him out of Congress. ..................

......................But Weiner has repeatedly insisted he won’t drop out of the race, saying he wants voters to ultimately decide whether he deserves the “second chance” he’s been asking for since he officially kicked off his mayoral bid in May.

“Citizens have to decide for themselves whether this personal behavior, when one thing happened or it didn't happen, is important to them. All I am saying is that these things were personal in nature,” the Democratic mayoral candidate told reporters Thursday. “I have worked them out between me and my wife and ... they've been behind me. They've been behind me for some time now. And it wasn't until they were behind me that I decided to run for mayor. I understand that might not be a satisfying answer for some people.”

I left the middle part out .... I am trying to understand how and why a person can reach this mindset. "Hey, my wife forgave me, why can't you guys. Yeh, I still do it, I'm a exhibitionist or something, maybe even worse, but I 'm still able to run this gigantic city during the day and expose myself at night. My wife, the "double dipper" is standing beside me. She knows she has to, I could ruin her with what I know." Maybe it is just that he is ........... a ............... "Politician" ...... comes with the job title.....
