Is Anthony Weiner preparing for a comeback?by Jake Miller / CBS News

"SNIP..............................................
Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., spent over $100,000 on polling and research this month, reports the Wall Street Journal, generating speculation that the former congressman, who resigned in 2011 after revelations that he had sent lewd photos to women over the internet, could be preparing to mount a political comeback.
Prior to his fall from grace, Weiner had been preparing for a New York City mayoral campaign. The $100,000 came out of his city campaign account, which still has $4.3 million remaining, and was reflected on a report filed on Friday with New York City election officials.
Weiner declined to comment on the spending, telling the Wall Street Journal that he had "nothing to report beyond what I reported."
In January, the New York Daily News reported that Weiner's name was among five prospective mayoral candidates voters were asked about in an survey. It is not clear whether the survey and the more recent polling expenditures are connected in any way.

We don't need him challenging for a safe seat and blowing it with reckless behavior.
Try someone new, and let Weiner and his weiner jog on.

I would prefer hard facts over premature speculation...
