Sad that some of you don't think you should find a better man for the job.

Throw out some other names and then demonstrate how you know they are "better men."

Hey, let him offer himself for whatever public position he think is appropriate. Let the electorate make the choice. That's the way it's done in a democracy.

Wow. I honestly do not know how one 'comes back' from such an act. I do believe in second chances but I was thinking he might choose something more low-profile.

If the people vote him back in . . . .

Absolutely! Weiner was very popular and his sex life is his business. He should have been a bit more discreet (to saythe least) but what he does in private is no one's business but his and his family's. I still believe that he was targeted due to his reputation of policing Wall Street and they were anxious to get rid of him. Would be great to have him back and whay a last laugh it would be on the banksters.

Well since all of our Mayors have had genitalia, what's the difference? He's got my vote, if he does in fact choose to run.
