Is Anthony Weiner a guy to watch for in 2016?

Appearing on MSNBC, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was asked about the hot news of the day on the health care front: a new report commissioned by America's Health Insurance Plans, which concluded that, under the Senate Finance Committee's legislation, family premiums would rise more than $4,000.

This guy seems to have some backbone.

2. Well his ambitions have tended towards the NYC mayoralty
He chose not to run this year b/c of Bloomberg's decision to seek a third term. But if Bloomberg, as expected, wins a third term, then I would expect Weiner plans a run for mayor in 2013.

My only problem with him is that on Israel and other Middle East policies, he's about as right-wing as they come.

4. I just saw him on with Shuster...
he seemed to have a gaffe when calling his 18month old niece fat, but other than that he seems like a fighter.

10. Glad somebody else said it first
That name might play in NYC, but anywhere else in the country, it would be a comedian's full-employment situtation.
