Politisite is hearing one source close to the Congressman that Weiner will resign by the end of the day or early Thursday.
A Marist poll by Weiners own constituents say he should not resign by a slim majority.
CNN is reporting that Privately colleagues are recommending that he resign quickly.
It was reported that Weiners wife, Huma Abedin, is Pregnant adding to the family stress level. Ironically Huma is with Secretary of State Clinton on Business who can probably help console Adedin during this time.
Democrat colleagues urging Weiner to resign ‘to preserve his own dignity’
A Democratic lawmaker familiar with discussions with and about Anthony Weiner tells CNN that Weiner’s colleagues are telling him this afternoon he should resign “to preserve his own dignity.”
This Democratic congressman says that this afternoon’s public call by Democratic Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pennsylvania, for Weiner to resign is part of a new stepped up effort to force Weiner out. The source said the effort includes private and public calls explicitly telling him it’s time to leave Congress.
“There is increased resentment by his colleagues that far from having a press conference where he was going to tell the truth and roll with the flames, the flames are just getting worse and he’s dragging us through it. We really thought by now, after the press conference, we would be able to talk about the Republicans’ Social Security privatization bill and instead we keep talking about Anthony Weiner. And people are getting angrier and more resentful,” said the Democratic congressman.
The lawmaker would not speak for the record in order to discuss private conversations, and would not give the names of Weiner’s colleagues making these private calls.

He's in his 7th term ...
She is absolutely as beautiful as Michelle Obama!
A fortnight late and a wiener short.
the entire nation is focused on Weinergate yet Obama attacks Libya without congressional approval and it slips right under the radar
LOL
Last I heard, Obama had X number of days to explain/justify his action to congress. I need to follow that up. But you're correct, I won't find it in the news,anywhere.
Dignity... That word...I do not think it means what Democrats think it means....
It’s a Weiner roast!
Seriously, this guy is unfit for public office. Maybe try the porn industry or MSNBC or Keith Uberallesman’s online show next?
I bet the Dems let it cool off for a year and then appoint him to some judgeship somewhere-- for life.
I still think we have not hear the last from the Weiner character.
WARNING, FUNNY CLIP NOT PORNOGRAPHIC, BUT NOT FULLY FAMILY FRIENDLY/WORK SAFE, EITHER.
“He will end up as a lobbyist with Planned Parenthood.”
I was thinking more along the lines of Editorial Consultant for Hustler Magazine.
You are way wrong. I do not have the words to adequately express how much I fully hate the liberal, marxist socialist, infantcidal, blatantly unashamed criminals such as weiner, Obama, frank, Biden, Gore, Clinton and the whole EVIL amoral lot of them.
But why do they want this one to resign? All the sudden this is a big deal?
I want him gone, I want all the bastards out who are out to economically, socially and militarily destroy this nation.
I hope I left no doubt in your mind. Admire a scumbag?
Sir! I love America, Weiner is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. It’s sickening.
But what about Bill Clinton commiting his felonies?
She’s out of the country travelling with Hillary, so how did she find out she’s pregnant??/ How convenient for the sympathy.
After Ted Kennedy drove Mary Jo off the bridge, and he appeared wearing a neck brace, it was announced that his wife Joan was pregnant. I believe both pregnancies were/are products of PR advisors’ advice.
why does Hillary have a man’s watch on? It’s not like she can’t afford women’s jewelry.
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead Tony!!
Fight on!! We on the Republican side of the aisle are with you!!!
If not, perhaps Elliot Spitzer can fit you into his show. Is it still on CNN? Anyone know?
