The Dems are turning on Weiner - he's an EmBAREASSment.
Rep. Anthony Weiners grip on his House seat grew far more tenuous Wednesday as he was hit with the release of another graphic picture purported to be of his genitals, the public revelation that his wife is pregnant and a flood of calls from prominent Democrats for him to resign.
Its up to Weiner to decide whether hell ride out a scandal that grows more intense, and more embarrassing, by the day. For now, Weiner is resisting the calls. He is not resigning, said a Democratic insider who spoke with him.
But pressure is steadily building from within Democratic ranks for him to call it quits and end the saga of the first Twitter-made political sex scandal.
Two former Democratic National Committee chairmen, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and former Virginia governor and current Senate candidate Tim Kaine, have called on Weiner to tender his resignation, as has Rep. Allyson Schwartz, the Pennsylvania Democrat who runs the recruitment and candidate-services operations for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
