Addresses "new norms" and provides some great links:

Ari Melber writes in the Daily News that calls for Weiner to exit the New York mayor race after new sexting revelations are "wrong, anti-democratic and strangely puritanical."

Andrew Sullivan, Dan Savage and Amanda Hess have all been noting that sexting with strangers is increasingly common behavior with the rise of smartphones, and sooner or later we'll have to make peace with electing leaders whose sexts we have read.

In the abstract, they're right. Let's be frank. In the age of Grindr, I'm far from the only gay man under 35 with a personal stake in changing this norm.

But while we will eventually need a standard bearer for the "sexters can be leaders, too" message, Weiner can't be it. That's because the specific circumstances of his sexting provide further evidence that he lacks the temperament to be a good mayor.

Let's look back at Exhibit A on Why Anthony Weiner Would Be A Terrible Mayor: June's New York Times piece on his record in Congress.

Geege do you agree?

".. that sexting with strangers is increasingly common behavior with the rise of smartphones, and sooner or later we'll have to make peace with electing leaders whose sexts we have read."

Do I agree with *that*?  

I think sexting with strangers is high-risk behavior for an elected official.
