1. Well, maybe when he started his campaign.

But he just couldn't stop. He's ruined a putatively promising political career. He has a passion, but apparently for something other than what most would consider to be politics.

Buh-bye, Anthony "Wiener" Weiner"

2. I felt I owed him a farewell sympathy vote,

in exchange for the comedy gold he has supplied.

3. I don't think so. I don't think he can be elected dogcatcher, frankly, at this point.

I think his WIFE could run and win, though.

4. i actually think he has a chance in the NYC area, probably not statewide though

with time people are willing to give another chance.

5. Nnnnnnope.

6. The further away he gets from the texting crap, the more viable he becomes.

He has a lot to offer.

8. +1

I answered "not sure" because I think he could get it together, potentially, assuming he has the capacity to control his appetites. Which is a pretty big assumption in his case.

I don't necessarily like the guy on a personal level - to be honest I feel bad for his (quite attractive, not that it matters) wife - and there are a few issues on which I disagree strongly with him, but I won't deny that he's a gifted politician. You don't get as far as he has, certainly not with such obvious character flaws, unless you are.

7. Oh, come on. He's got too much baggage.

[Whisp]

9. he's not even a viable person.

where is his family and friends to let him make such a fool of himself.

he knew he didn't have a chance to win mayor and yet he went out there selling his stupidity.

Oiy. Gotta feel some sorry for the guy, he's messed up big time.

10. Performance artist. nt

11. Look for Weiner to take a "political analyst" job on one of the cable news channels.

If The Quitter can do it, anyone can do it.
