Anthony Weiner considering run for NY Mayor

Anthony Weiner, who was forced to resign from Congress for sending racy pictures over Twitter, is mulling a run for Mayor next year, according to the New York Post:
Anthony Weiner's not shrinking from elected office.
The disgraced former congressman - who's sitting on a $4.5 million campaign war chest - is mulling a bid for citywide office next year and "seriously considering" a mayoral run, multiple sources told The Post.
The cocky pol is also open to the post of public advocate as a backup plan, said sources, who described the Queens Democrat as "desperate" to get back into politics.
Weiner, 47, has even spoken to former staffers about going back to work for him, according to another source.
nd he wants to run soon because the public match on his campaign funds are due to expire after the 2013 election.
"I've heard he is seriously thinking about getting into a citywide race in 2013 and would like it to be mayor," said a source with ties to Weiner. "In his mind, he's trying to figure out how to run for mayor."
