The new face of the Democratic party.

Via NBC NY:

Democratic mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has surged ahead of his opponents in a new NBC 4 New York/Wall Street Journal poll, transforming himself in just a few weeks from disgraced has-been to mayoral front-runner.

Weiner, who entered the race two years after resigning his congressional seat amid a sexting scandal, now leads City Council Speaker Christine Quinn in the crowded Democratic primary, setting up a new phase in what could end up being a remarkable political comeback.

Weiner leads Quinn 25 percent to 20 percent among registered Democrats, the poll by Marist found. That’s a flip-flop from the last survey in May, when Quinn, the longtime front-runner, led Weiner 24 percent to 19 percent.

Just as telling is the number of registered New York voters who said they might vote for Weiner. Forty-nine percent said they’d consider it, up from 40 percent two months ago, before Weiner entered the race. Those who said they wouldn’t consider voting for him dropped from 52 percent to 45 percent.

It is just one poll - no idea how valid/accurate it is, or isn't. What I find shocking/unbelievable is that it is supposed to be Quinn's race to lose. From what I had read awhile back, the PTB had basically decided that she was to succeed Bloomturd.

I guess they changed their minds. After all weiner has that cool connection to the M.B.

The current Mayor has an irrational fear of salt, large vessels for fluids and names to identify political parties. Can Anthony's Wiener be any worse?
