Not entirely a surprise, but it looks like the ballgame is finally over for the Democrat from New York:
Rep. Anthony Weiner plans to resign from Congress in the wake of a "sexting" scandal with several women and lies he repeatedly told about it, a Democratic source with knowledge of Weiner's plans said Thursday.
Weiner, 46, was considered a possible front-runner to succeed New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2013 until the revelation of his online communications, including lewd photos of himself he sent to women he befriended on Facebook and Twitter.
Pressure had built over the last week for Weiner to resign his seat in Congress, including from several of his colleagues high in the Democratic leadership.
