Weiner for mayor?
Heard on the news last night that the "Twitterman", Anthony Weiner, is thinking of running for mayor as his political comeback. Read an article last year when his embarrassing photos became public that in his 17 years as assemblyman he sponsored 191 bills. NONE of them passed. I wonder how effective he'd be since he wasn't too effective before but he sure had good sound bites.

don't want to see pervert for mayor.

It seems like most politicians are at least a little "pervy". At least we now know what Weiner's is going into it. Besides, sending a couple pictures isn't really so bad. STUPID. But eh, it's a pretty victim-less crime.
I thought Quinn was supposed to be a shoe in since she fully supported every one of Bloomberg's choices.

hell its okay to be pervy and all but this dude was married and sending pictures of his dick to some girls, that is just uncalled for.
I always say if you want to have many girl friends, just don't get married no point. Same thing goes for rich guys especially no point at all.

I really don't give a rat's ass whether Weiner was blasting his wiener all over the internet. For all I know he and his wife have an open marriage, after all David Paterson and Michelle Paige said they had an open marriage. I wouldn't support Weiner for mayor or any other political office because he is part of the Democratic/Republican axis that has spent the last century denying effective government to the people of New York State and New York City. I will only support candidates who propose electoral reform that abolishes the gerrymander and places redistricting in the hands of an independent commission, as California has done.

Then I guess you won't be voting for mayor for quite a long time.
-
Prior this, I was told the mayor will either be Christine Quinn (City council) or Scott Stringer (Manhattan BP).
Weiner provides an additional choice.
Can one still write in candidates?

I would vote for Mickey Mouse before I voted for the status quo. There's always a nutjob or two that stand for these offices.

There's a town in Alaska that's got a cat for mayor from a write-in.

Let's write in Duke.

I don't much care about the man's adventures in twitterland, although it does betray a certain lack of judgement. But he was a clown before any of that came to light - it was just a nice confirmation of what everybody already knew. I'm reasonably certain we can find a better mayor, let this guy get a "real" job.
-
He's never had a real job. Lifelong politician. He doesn't know how to do anything else.

Stinger and Quinn are making lots of noise

I think his political career is over, but there's always the possibility he'd do well in the commercial field.
-
He doesn't look like the Billy Mays type to me.
-
He could always do an underwear commercial, " He ain't got brains, but he does wear Hanes."
-
I don't think Michael Jordan would let him take over that endorsement.
-
I think there's room for both of them,
You can watch Jordan dribble while in his and weiner dribbling on his
-
Anyone but Quinn.
-
Who knows, maybe Mark Green will run again.
-
Their all the same and will promise anything to get in office, so, to avoid any aggravation, I vote for who i want to screw me.

de blasio has declared he's running for mayor, can marion barry be far behind.

Being coved in the media is important.
Being covered in media that caters to people who actually vote is very important: http://nymag.com/news/features/christine-quinn-2013-2/
Meanwhile, Joe Lhota struggles for name recognition:

As far as Weiner is concerned being "covered" in the media is MUCH better than being "uncovered."
-
According to the NY Post Weiner is considering a run for City Comptroller, thats all we need, a Comptroller with sticky fingers.

This recent show seems like it was par for the course: http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130201/washington-heights/christine-quinn-distances-herself-from-bloomberg-at-mayoral-forum
This show will soon happen:

I'm going to spearhead a write in drive for Koch.
Yeah, I know he's dead, but, we'll finally have a Mayor that's not in position to screw us.
Howdy, Stranger!
