Do you think Weiner will drop out of the mayors race before the primary?

I hope he does but I have no idea.

Please explain your thoughts.

This is a good point. The summer months don't have as much news so if Weiner can drive hrmjustin Jul 2013 #10
No, he'll stand firm customerserviceguy Jul 2013 #11
I wish he would go away. I want the runoff to be about how Quinn bowed to Bloomberg all the time. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #12

attempt to uplift his staff's vigor, and engage in spirited verbal intercourse
with the public and press on and hold out until the coming of Sept 10th.

This is pure gold for Obama. This is taking the heat off of him for the NSA, summer and corporate tax cuts.

Shee-it, Obama probably started the whole thing.

And I'm sure he won't.

If everyone is talking about dong pictures instead of important issues then he's all the more happy about it.

Anyone who as half as much of a narcissist as he is needs to have the voters tell him to zip it.

he's in a tough spot with the timing. If it were closer to the election they could focus on the issues, and if it had been earlier it wouldn't be such a huge focus right now. Whoever helped with this timeline did a very good job.

part of me wants to seem him hang in there just a tad, but that would actually be unhelpful for the candidate i'm interested in. Still. I think because i don't think he deserve *all* the shit he's getting, i'd hate for it to end as things are now. Hopefully he can do enough to gain back a *little* bit of respect before he drops out.
