    The married Democrat resigned from Congress after tweeting a lewd picture of himself and lying about his account being hacked. He later admitted trading inappropriate messages with several women.

    Weiner’s first post Monday was decidedly not racy: a link to a 20-page policy statement outlining “64 Ideas to keep New York City the Capital of the Middle Class.”

    By mid-afternoon, there were about 2,600 people following (at)anthonyweiner.

    Weiner’s name has emerged this month in a large field of potential candidates for New York City mayor.

    A recent Marist College poll showed about half the Democrats surveyed wouldn’t even consider voting for him.

    Most of his followers are waiting to see how he’ll mess up again. I bet he doesn’t even have control over his twitter account anymore. Once again he’ll claim it was a hacker that did,said,posted that. BTW good one  Aron1 #anthonysweiner

    Weiner has my vote. We’re electing a mayor, not a pope. So far he’s the best and only viable choice in the race. Notwithstanding his personal indiscretions, he has always served our community well.

    He sent pictures in his underwear-still wrong but not pictures of his private parts.
