Weiner likely to sit this campaign out

From the Daily News:

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn) has said he won't officially decide if he's running for mayor until the end of May.

But the congressman sounds increasingly like he'll be sitting out the race.

The bid "just didn't feel right," Weiner said in an interview with New York magazine posted on its Web site Sunday.

In the face of Mayor Bloomberg's successful maneuver to run for a third term and the billionaire's $100 million reelection campaign, Weiner expressed reluctance to make a long-shot bid.

"It isn't that I don't have the stomach for the race," Weiner told the magazine. "I know that I can run the city better than the current mayor. I know it.

"But sometimes there are walls even your ambition and skill can't push through."

He's framing his genital region with
his hands to suggest that he's got a real pair instead of a teenie-weenie!

Yet another example of the caliber of people that are running the greatest city on earth.

The more I hear about their character (and lack thereof), the less respect I have for them.

They do everything they can to make the public's involvement meaningless.
