[mfcorey1]

A Democratic source has confirmed that Assemblyman David Weprin is going to be the Democrats candidate in the special election for NY-9, the seat that is vacant following Anthony Weiner’s resignation.

Weprin is going to be meeting with Democrats in the district tonight and the paperwork certifying him as the candidate will be filed tomorrow

3. Sounds like one too

...In an interview, Mr. Weprin said that his core beliefs as a social progressive and fiscal conservative were in sync with those of the district. He also said that he hoped he could, with his background on Wall Street, “add value” to discussions on the debt ceiling and other issues.

Another Wall $treet DLC'er. Yeah, that's gonna help a lot.

Fuck this.... bring Weiner back. His dumb internet habits aren't nearly as embarrassing as economic treason.

4. I unrecommended this OP not because I disapprove of the posting of this story

but to express my disgust at the choice of Weiner's replacement.

Don't take it personally, mfcorey1.
