Anthony Weiner NYC Mayor

Suppose that the secondary revelations about Weiner's sexting didn't come out, or came out awhile later, what would be the effects of a Weiner administration of New York? He was leading in the polls it seems before the scandal, so continuing momentum doesn't seem impossible. What would be different about the running of the city? If the scandal broke after he'd already won, would he resign? If it broke in the general election phase, could the Republican, Joe Lhota, jump from ~25% to a win?

Note: This is mostly a fun idea I've gotten from watching "Weiner" the documentary about his mayoral run.

or Maybe
♪♫ I wish I were your Honarable Mayor Weiner
That is what I truly wish to be
Cause if I were your Honorable Mayor Weiner
Everyone would be in love
Oh everyone would be in love
Everyone would be in love with me ♪♫

Weiner Campaign Slogan - "Vote for the Candidate with Nothing to Hide!"

Lohta Campaign Slogan - "C'mon folks . . . really?, c'mon . . ."

My God, if he succeeds does this set off a trend of lewd pics from other popular politicians?

It becoming, for desperate candidates, what sex tapes became for actors, musicians and wannabe celebrities.
 
The problem is that Weiner's sex issues weren't just isolated incidents: they were all part of a pattern of what seems to be compulsive sexual behavior. And criminal behavior too, in more recent cases. Weiner was a ticking time bomb who was going to implode at some point, whether it was in the primary campaign or the general election.

A later blowup would be interesting I think. It'd throw the general election into question, and if it breaks after he wins it would be WAY bigger than it was before.

If he gets the nomination but then a sexting scandal comes out, it could result in him being replaced by the Democrats. Or alternatively he stays on the ballot and this significantly helps the GOP. But even then, the Republican candidate didn't even get 25% of the vote! Whatever happens it sure would be a wild ride...
