Weiner Steps Out of the NYC Mayoral Race

Despite the fact that he currently is not out of contention to be New York City's next mayor, Congressman Anthony Weiner gracefully bowed out of the Democratic primary this morning, ceding the nomination to former Bronx President Freddy Ferrer. For a full report, check out the AP article.

Weiner, a protoge of Sen. Chuck Schumer, clearly aspires to be more than just a member of the minority party in the House of Representatives. And although this move means he will be unable to challenge Bloomberg this year, this move leaves open -- and indeed forwards -- the possibility that he will run again for mayor in four years or take a shot at another key New York office.
