Resign and run again in special election.

No sympathy for Breitbart........

"awesome, Keith. Breitbart is the sleaziest figure in this entire mess. He, not Weiner, is the only one who's hurt anyone."

9. ego, power and arrogance are what drive public figures into
positions of power in the first place. Why would that change once they get there? Maybe we should all just grow up and accept the fact they will philander, they always have and stop the sham of pretending we are shocked by it. Those traits are almost necessary for them to succeed in public life.

2. Why would anyone have sympathy for Breitbart?
Even though I think what Weiner did is unbelievably stupid, I have no sympathy for Breitbart.

11. Breitbart runs the Democratic Party.
He jumps up and down, points a finger at a liberal Democrat, and before you can even find out what they did or did not do, the 'Leadership' (I say that with a great sense of irony) throws them out.

He's a very powerful man in the Dem. Party. Far more powerful than we are or Weiner's constituents who clearly want him to stay, but Breitbart has spoken and that is the kiss of death for liberal Democrats now.

I wonder now if they are in collusion with him, using him to rid the party of liberals.

8. I love it. He should also quit the spineless party who refused
to stand up for him and run as an Independent. He will have a lot more power as an Ind. as the party cannot take his vote for granted and he can then bargain, as Sanders does, to get money for his dist.

I love Keith! A voice of sanity.

12. Good suggestion.. but run as an Independent..
Then the Democrats can find a decent candidate that does not have a sexting addiction.
