This afternoon I heard that Anthony Weiner (who I'm supporting) is now leading the pack of those politicians running for Mayor. As you know, Weiner was forced to resign from Congress due to texting pictures of himself.
Now, I've just heard that Eliot Spitzer, former Governor of NYS and know as the "Sheriff of Wall Street" has thrown his hat in the ring for NYC Controller. As you may recall Spitzer was forced to resign as Governor 5 years ago for hiring prostitutes.
I have no problem with either of these men running because what they did in their personel lives should not be held against them. The only problem I see with Spitzer running is that petitions are due July 11th to get your name on the ballot and there are already several candidates running for this office and petitioning had started June 4th so I don't know if there is sufficient time for him to get the necessary signatures to get his name on the ballot. Actually, this can only be a toe in the water, to see how voters react to his running for office again. There is another problem, can you imagine the reaction there will be to having both Weiner and Spitzer the candidates in the general election in November, Republicons will have a field day.
