Lawn Chair Quarterback: "Congresscritters Are Human"

There's a consensus that Anthony Weiner should not have had to resign based on anything currently known about his sexting scandal. In fact, everybody is already looking forward to him running in the special election to replace himself.

Weiner is that popular - especially after he voted against extending the far-right Patriot Act. Had the Democratic "leadership" not thrown him under the bus, the Weiner story would be a true rarity: a Democratic scandal that would actually help the Democrats politically.

If he ran in the special election, he wouldn't be running as a Democrat though - because party bosses choose the candidates in New York special elections. On the other hand, he can't be redistricted out without a constitutional crisis that flies in the face of the "one person, one vote" doctrine.
