At another web board full of New Yorkers, I asked them why Weiner was winning and their answer was that simply his competition is shit. Even though this board is full of gay people, they actually despise Quinn (who's gay) with descriptions like "vile" and other not so nice things. (So much for political tribalism.)

But we must say this for Weiner if he indeed does win. It'll be one of the great political comebacks in recent American history to go from being forced to resign because he took pictures of himself to getting elected to the most visible mayorship in America.
