From Disgraced Congressman to NYC Mayor?


     Fmr. Congressman Anthony Weiner is back, and hes running for mayor of New York City. He announced on Tuesday in a video/ad made with his wife and child, announcing his candidacy. Weiner, who was forced to resign from congress after he tweeted pictures of his weiner to underage college girls, says the he made mistakes, but has learned from them. Weiners announcement may have been sparked by Mark Sanford, another disgraced politician, involved in a scandal, being elected to congress a couple of weeks ago. It seems that voters are forgiving politicians for their previous mistakes.

     While I agree with many of Weiners policies, I do not think he is fit be the Mayor of New York. He has made some major wrong decisions in the recent past, and is not ready to be mayor of the most populous city in America. He is still young, and has most of his political career ahead of him. If he wants to jump back into the political game he should start again, at the bottom of the totem pole. He should run for New York City Council, The New York State legislator, or even the USA congress, but NYC Mayor is to far of a leap for Weiner.
