“This is entirely behind me,” Weiner, 48, a Democrat, said at a news conference. “We knew it might come up. It’s in our rear-view mirror. We still work on this every day. (His wife is standing "by" him, it is all entirely "behind me" and it is in their "rear view mirror." .... Location, location, location......
“I am sure a lot of my opponents would like for me to drop out of the race,” he said. (Much of the country would)
Weiner admitted on Tuesday to exchanging racy photos and having sexually explicit chats with a woman whom he had met online. He had resigned his House seat in June 2011 after acknowledging having sexual conversations with at least a half-dozen women.
The newly revealed correspondence was posted on Monday by the gossip website thedirty.com.
The woman involved was not identified but said their online relationship began in July 2012 and lasted for six months.
Thedirty.com said that the woman had been "lured" into an online relationship by Weiner using the alias "Carlos Danger" and that she believed he would provide her with an apartment in Chicago and a job, among other things.
Under questioning by reporters, Weiner acknowledged that the most recent incident occurred “sometime last summer” — after an interview with People magazine that was published last July 18.
In the interview, Weiner said, “I'm very happy in my present life" and said that he was looking forward to seeing his son Jordan, who was 6 months old at the time, take his first steps.
Abedin, who was a top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said on Tuesday that her husband “made some horrible mistakes.” It was her first time speaking at a news conference regarding Weiner’s activities.

She was pregnant with Jordan when Weiner resigned.
“I have forgiven him,” Abedin said. “I believe in him. We are moving forward.”
