[h=1]Poll: Weiner's lead disappears in NYC mayor's race[/h]
Anthony Weiner has lost his lead in the New York City mayor's race following revelations he continued to send lewd messages online to women after he resigned from Congress in 2011, according to a new poll released Thursday.

How can Weiner possibly be anything but a laughingstock?
 
It's the photo of him drinking a super-size soda that exposed his criminal side.

This might be a dumb question but other than his silly sexting, what's wrong with him? He must have something going for him that got him where he was pre-scandal and even post-scandal. Maybe he's smarter than he looks?

I hope Bob Thompson wins.

But, is he smarter than he acts?
He's a putz. We already have way too many putz in politics.
 
Perhaps Putsizm is the only thing that determines who becomes a politician.

Well they have Bloomberg, so it could only get better.
 
Better than who? (better than who)
The scores aren't in. (the scores aren't in)
Let the gods of evolution say who'll win.
Better at what? (better at what)
In what way? (in what way)
Let the gods of evolution have their say.

I'm better than you at shooting,
You're better than me with a knife.
Who's to say which tool works better when the punks come for your life?
You're better than me at karate,
I'm better than you with a stick.
Do you really want to walk through the slums tonight, let the old gods take their pick?

I'm better at breathing pollution,
You're better at avoiding colds.
Which of us will last the longer in the worst the future holds?
You're better at surviving bug bites,
I'm better at eating junk.
If civilization sinks tomorrow, which of us would be sunk?

I'm better at training horses,
You're better at fixing cars.
Which will be in more demand at the next turn of the stars?
You're better at hunting rabbits,
I'm better at making fire.
Which of those skills can better fulfill what tomorrow might require?

I'm better at growing gardens,
You're better at counting cash.
Which will serve us best tomorrow, the money or the stash?
You're better at working computers,
I'm better at making a song.
Which will put more food on the table if the world goes right or wrong?

You're better at playing dominance,
I'm better at making friends.
What works better, whether or not civilization ends?
Nobody knows the future,
Or what skill betters the odds.
So it's best to say we're all born equal and leave the rest to the gods.

Let the gods of evolution have their say

BETTER THAN WHO - LESLIE FISH

Well....he could be an embarrassment, a buffoon.....but laughingstock seems about right.
I've seen Weiner on FOX, pre-scandal, and liked his combative style.
I would find it difficult to vote for someone who repeatedly humiliates his wife like this.
On the other hand, maybe she's okay with this sort of behavior.

I considered that, but his handling of the situation hardly inspires confidence in his abilities (if you're going to be a crook and liar, surely the electorate has a right to demand you're at least competent in such a role)
 
It isn't simply a matter of "Sexting." Weiner's behavior is pretty perverted, even for a politician.

Even worse, he couldn't stop, couldn't control his behavior, even for his new wife and baby. It also seems like it was so uncontrollable, he wanted his contacts to know who he was, like he wanted to get caught.

I'd like to see a psychiatric analysis of Weiner from a medical professional who has interviewed him.
