(NY) Majority (56%) Don't Think Weiner Should Resign
Source: Political Wire


Majority Don't Think Weiner Should Resign
A NY1-Marist Poll conducted just hours after Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-NY) tearful press conference yesterday, 51% of New York City voters believe the congressman should not resign from his job, while 30% disagree and think he should step down, and 18% are still unsure.

However, 56% do not want Weiner to run for New York City mayor in 2013, including a majority of Democrats.

Said pollster Lee Miringoff: "All of this spells trouble for Congressman Weiner and his political future. For voters, there are questions of judgment -- never a winner for an office-holder."

2. I can't take polls seriously
I do not trust them. On the other hand I don't think what he has done merits resignation.

Meanwhile a fascist pig who Wiener exposed is a Supreme Court Judge who should resign immediately!!!!

3. New Yorkers are used to it...
Patterson, Rangel, Spitzer, Kruger, Boyland...all the way back to Boss Tweed.

17. +100
Count me in as one who doesn't think he should resign. I would even vote for him as mayor, even though I'd like to kick his ass for doing something so stupid and self-destructive.

Considering it's always been his plan to run for mayor once Bloomberg left office, this result is more indicative of his future. There's no chance he'll get the nomination. New Yorkers are forgiving but we're not going to trust our beloved City with a man this stupid.

15. Half of whom are repugs...
...who rather like the idea of a suddenly-toothless dog continuing to remind everyone that's he's a "Member" of Congress.

Remember that BreitFart can take him out at any time with the "X Card" if he shows any future signs of dental regeneration. So what good, exactly, is he to either his constituents or the D.P.?

Sorry Weiner, your ship has sailed, and you're the one who pushed it away from the dock.

16. Reid kicked him under the bus.
Reid was telegraphing Congress to do the same. Weiner is gone before the weekend.

18. It appears that he has done NOTHING illegal
stupid, yes. If a congress person had to resign for
doing anything stupid they would seriously deplete
membership of the House subsequent to each vote.
And a term in the Senate would be limited to
six minutes in many cases; not six years.
