....After the Friday news dump Weiner will announce he is resigning from his seat effective something like Monday or by the end of the month.

1. Boy,

what a shame to lose him.

[sharp_stick]

2. I kind of hope he doesn't

I'd like him to stick around to piss off the pukes. Anytime someone brings it up, he should tell them it's none of their fucking business until they ask David Vitter the same fucking question.

In his district I think he can pretty easily pull off another win, further enraging the "family values" crowd and providing endless entertainment when the next one of them gets caught traveling with a rent-boy or tapping feet in the MSP airport.

3. I anticipate this as well.

Even without his colleagues pushing him out, I expect him to leave. Even if he survived this, he won't likely be elected Mayor and his future would be restricted to the House.

4. Disagree

I think he would be re-elected and could win the Mayor race. I for one would vote for him, and I can.

5. Source?

I think this is speculation, but perhaps I'm wrong. IMO, there are far too many 'authoritative' statements about many subjects, but particularly this one. And, BTW, I hope you're wrong.

[Lucinda]

6. Or, he wont...

[brooklynite]

7. One question...

When does his wife get back from Africa. They might want to have a private discussion before any formal announcement. Otherwise, I agree that the cards are stacked for a quick exit.

8. I have not said anything yet

and don't plan to get involved in this discussion, but in my opinion, he will be gone by the end of next week. And this due to the dems forcing the issue.
