Weiner Shoots Ahead in NYC Mayoral Race

According to a new NBC New York/Wall Street Journal poll, Anthony Weiner is now the frontrunning in the race for Mayor:

Weiner, who entered the race two years after resigning his congressional seat amid a sexting scandal, now leads City Council Speaker Christine Quinn in the crowded Democratic primary, setting up a new phase in what could end up being a remarkable political comeback.

Weiner leads Quinn 25 percent to 20 percent among registered Democrats, the poll by Marist found. That's a flip-flop from the last survey in May, when Quinn, the longtime front-runner, led Weiner 24 percent to 19 percent.

So, what changed everybody's minds? Was it his campaign-launching video from his childhood stoop in Park Slope? Was it the carefully timed and seemilngly brave and honest profile in the New York Times Magazine? Would you vote for Weiner?
