3. Weiner is running for mayor and is shamefully expoliting.....

this issue.

I love it. I love HIM. Finally a NY Dem whose thinking reflects Democratic Party principles.

I think you may have just broken out of a rather undistinguished ( and indistinguishable), Congressman.

6. He's alright by me...

I noticed he was running for mayor. Good! When is the NYC Mayoral race?

8. Alas... it drags on thru the primary in September....

all the way to NOV...unless they've tampered with the rules since last time.

In a way it's good as it gives a low profile and low $$$$ dark horse like Weiner a chance to get "known". Extra difficult now, since NYC infotainment media ( the electronic media, anyway) don't cover the mayoral race at all really, and it's all about who can buy the most tv time.

5. Uh oh -- I hope Wal Mart doesn't respond by giving lots of $ to the GOP!

Oh wait -- they already do that.
