“I see a robust future for Tony Weiner in the Democrat party.”
Certainly no worse than Barney Frank’s, at least!
Prediction:
If Weiner doesn’t resign, he’ll be re-elected to the seat he holds today.
His Republican opponent will garner no more than 40% of the vote, and be lucky to get that much.
Just guessin’....
40% or less would result in victory for the Republican candidate in a 3-way race. Remember NY-26 where the phony "tea party" candidate took 9% and the RAT won with less than 50%? I think we need to start looking for a "Green Party" candidate to run in NY-9, whether or not Weenie is on the ballot next time. George W. Bush and John McCain both took 44% in that district. Pre-scandal Weenie got 59% of the vote in his last election. A left-wing third party candidate (with a platform even more liberal on foriegn policy) could run a very vocal anti-Weenie campaign and run ads bashing the NY RATs for supporting Weenie If such a candidate got 10% in that district, it could cripple the Dem's chances of holding it.
