If nothing else I’m sure that he’ll provide some STIFF competition. :)

If only he would include pedophilia in his list of assets, he’d win by a landslide there in the land of liberals.

What's ironic is that Weiner's main opponent in the race, Quinn, is a lesbian....

I guess now she has even one more reason to hate Weiner...

I think he’s the total package. I don’t want to be too hard on him. I don’t have a bone to pick with that guy.

I almost hope he wins. It would be a fitting end to a once great city, and that consequence isn't unexpected or unforeseen.

At the rate we're going, especially if "the wiener" wins, Chicken Little has become our prophet. This is not a drill.

Good. I hope he’s elected. New York would go from a putz to a dork.

It shows you how the political race has changed. Remember it wasn’t that long ago when candidates would ask ‘Where’s the beef?’ You can’t ask that now!

Weiner said about New York, ‘Nobody will work harder to make it better.’ As opposed to his first campaign promise, which was ‘Nobody will work better to make it harder.’

Not beef, just a little canned spam.

These people seek the lowest common denominator. After all they helped elect the current presidential disaster.

People must start thinking on how we can control the type of voter electing the "Divine One" and probably this turkey. Identification, literacy tests, property qualifications, age restrictions, residency requirements must be imposed even if an Amendment to the Constitution is required. It is a matter of the salvation of the United States.

It really doesn’t matter who the Democrat nominee is...they’re all the same, and the Dem will win with the parasite vote and the Union Vote......same thing is happening across ALL of America, except for “Free States”, like TX and others in the South.
