The question is, can Weiner still be an effective spokesman for progressive values

[fried eggs]

I think that when undecideds see him, the first thing they will think about is his weener. It will be a very long time before Weiner regains credibility.

1. Too soon to tell. I suspect Weinergate has just begun.

I think that there will be a lot more ick to come. Some will be truthful, some false accusations, but it will get worse.

Way to go, Anthony.

5. Clinton is a political genius

8. True, and Weiner is not. (n/t)

3. He can be a strong spokesman for penis rights.

4. Only if people are interested in values rather than naughty sex.

6. His credibility and effective spokesmanship is over.

Plus, he is not Bill Clinton who messed up as President. Weiner will never politically rise any higher than he is now.

7. No.

Next question?

9. His name alone does that.

10. no credibility..

proven liar and coverupper, sadly.

11. Of course he can. Unless the Democratic Puritans(Left's answer

to the Fundies) decide otherwise. From the looks
of DU the Puritans are nixing him.

12. I can't help but think that inside every Calvinist is a panty sniffer dying to get out. n/t

[FBaggins]

16. No puritans required. Just Democrats who look for integrity and character in a politician.

Luckily, that represents the VAST majority of Democrats in general and DU in particular.

13. I seriously doubt it.

And since that's pretty much all he IS (i.e., not much of a legislative achiever other than making bombastic floor speeches), he's done.
