Speak Out: Would You Vote For Anthony Weiner?

Early Wednesday morning scandal-ridden former Congressman Anthony Weiner confirmed he would be the latest politician to attempt a comeback.

Weiner, who resigned from office in June 2011 after a "sexting" scandal, is running for Mayor of New York City. Weiner sent provocative pictures of himself to women via his Twitter account. The Democrat was married at the time and remains so.

Now that Weiner has returned, comparisons with former South Carolina governor and current House member Mark Sanford are inevitable.

So, putting aside their ideologies, if you voted for Sanford could you also vote for Weiner?

There are a few differences. Sanford did not resign his office, whereas Weiner did. Sanford's wife divorced him, but Weiner's did not. But when initially confronted about their conduct, both men lied.
