Poll:New Yorkers don't really give a shit about Weiner "scandal". He could still be Mayor.

[sufrommich]

An exclusive survey by The Daily Beast finds that Weinergate has not derailed the congressmen’s chances of becoming New York’s next mayor—and the Twitter scandal has had little impact on whether New Yorkers would vote for him.

Is Anthony Weiner’s political career—and his chance of becoming New York’s next mayor—in jeopardy? It’s a decision that won’t be made by the pundits, the puritans, or even Andrew Breitbart—it will be made by New Yorkers.

So the Daily Beast hit the streets of the Big Apple and conducted an informal survey of 100 New Yorkers to ask them what they thought about Weinergate and the motormouth representative, who has long had his eye on the New York City mayor’s office.

The verdict? The Weiner haters can fugheddaboutit: even though many believe the infamous grey underwear did indeed belong to Weiner, a majority of respondents—71 percent—said the news hadn’t changed their opinion of Weiner, who represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens in Congress. Overall, the numbers present a picture of a city that may be rolling its eyes at Weiner, but won’t decide what lever to pull based on whether they’ve seen his lever: two-thirds said the incident wouldn’t factor into a decision on whether to vote for him for mayor.

1. OMG whoever it is the guy only has his undies on. Little peter isn't showing.

2. The media and many in this nation have turned into a bunch of

third graders. I could tell on Morning Jerk this morning they knew Weiner was not at fault here but not a word, not a mention about Breitbart. Disgusting.

3. Ted Kennedy was a Senator for many years after killing that woman at Chappaquiddick

Weiner can easily hold onto his Congressional seat, if he likes. He will always be the butt of jokes though (like Diaper Dave) and I don't think his career will advance any further.

4. I know Ted Kennedy had an accident at Chappaquiddick

and that Mary Jo Kopechne died in that accident, but I didn't know that he killed anyone there.
Was this before or after the tragic accident?

Source please.
