How utterly pitiful that he is to even considering a run for mayor, more so if he were to win.

I think that this is totally a "rehabilitative" move. What happens here is that he gets out all over the place in the news for this mayoral run, which he will lose handily to Quinn. Now, as a result he has put some new "political mass" between the past scandal and his current image. Down the road, a fair number of people will think:

- "Anthony Wiener - yeah, ran for NYC mayor and lost in primaries...."
instead of
- "Anthony Wiener - yeah, the guy that got bounced out of the House for sending pix on Twitter...."
