The Democratic field is tough. Wiener is ideologically a good candidate and he is a fighter, but he doesn't have a lot of leadership experience and has terrible judgement. I'm not supporting any of the candidates at this time, but Quinn has been doing what she needs to do to get ready, Thompson can put up a fight, and some of the other candidates are interesting. Also, I think Wiener puts us at risk of losing to a republican because of his wiener issues.

A few years ago I'd probably have supported him, but I'm not convinced he is worth it now.
