It is really not surprising

The latest news is that Anthony Weiner is in the lead in the latest polls for the New York Mayor's race.  That's right, the same Weiner who tweeted pictures of his genitals and other naked body parts and who resigned in disgrace from Congress is leading in the Democrat primary race.  This news is shocking until you consider Weiner's competition in the primary.  There is the lesbian candidate, the crook, and some non-entities each of whom tries to outdo the others is showing just how far left they really are.  These folks make current mayor, Bloomberg, look like a rugged individualist.

For all his peccadiloes, Weiner at least seems to be almost rational, a rare charactgeristic among Democrat mayoral candidates.  Weiner actually might win.

One thing is certain, however:  with this group of candidates fighting it out for the Democrat nod, the chances of a Republican mayor keep rising.  It is still less than 50% likely that the next mayor will be a Republican, but that number is no longer zero.
