Mayoral Candidates Face More Questions About Spitzer's Comptroller Campaign

NY1News

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner insists that Eliot Spitzer's last-minute campaign for city comptroller is not affecting his mayoral bid at all, but while Weiner may not like it, the former governor's re-entry into the political arena is poised to reshape the race for City Hall. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.

For the second day in a row, former Rep. Anthony Weiner faced questions Tuesday about former Governor Eliot Spitzer.

It is easy to compare the two politicians. Both saw their careers cut short because of sex scandals.

"It doesn't change my approach one wit," Weiner said. "I think that I'm getting rewarded by citizens for talking about the issues they care about."

You gotta admire the in your face style Weiner has.

He has that goofy family member that is the smartest that one can't help but love.

And he is like Thompson and Quinn, all three perfect for Hillary.

And you gotta give Weiner props for having (shall we say) cajones. He is going for the gold.

Spitzer is going for a lower key role in a very important position. In fact, the one Bill Thompson had.

The three of them (Thompson, Quinn, Weiner, should all keep it positive.

either of the three are great for NYC and great for the democratic party.
I wouldn't cry if any of the three are the next mayor, though personally I would like to see Thompson win.

I am starting to think Weiner though might just end up winning without a runoff needed.
Which would be really amazing.
