this is weiner, i have done a lot of commercials.t was a good stand up by himself, tough to get a candidate to look into a camera -- >> not him. >> he actually will. >> the reason he's ahead in the polls, he has money. yeah, it is going to take him in front. >> the democrats don't love him to begin with. >> that's not the point. this is where you have a field of people unknown, this guy is known for better or worse, and he is up there with a lot of big money. >> it is all about name recognition. >> kimberly, you're in new york. i don't know if you would be surprised, the mayor's poll said anthony weiner up 25 percentage points, and quinnipiac says christine quinn is just behind him in that poll or just ahead at 19 points. she has been running quite a long time. as a new york resident, kimberly, do you think it matters if a formerly disgraced national figure comes back to new york and tries to run? do you think he's got a chance? >> that makes him qualified, right? politics in america, come on. you're nobody unless you have a scandal,

there's something more important in what weiner said there.that were true. one of the reporters who was there caught it and followed up. >> what was it that was true? >> reporting for the "new york times." you've seen it. the flyer is available. >> no, no, no. what were you saying was true in it, like you still support from the flyer? you said, i pointed out some things that were true. >> yeah with. that she hadn't supported this coalition. i just quoted the flyer on the "new york times." i think it was on his web site. >> weiner is saying the flyer was true, all he had done was print ared what the new york times reported. that's grossly misleading. the flyer went out of its way to connect cohen to two black political leaders that she had never even met jackson. the coalition weiner is referring to is a mishmash of liberal groups in new york. he could have connected any number of political figures to it, but he chose to single out two play juror blacking political figures in the wake of a race riot. here's how the exchange with reporters ended

or am i being too tough on anthony weiner? are the papers being too tough on anthony weiner? >> i wasn't sure. >> or is this fair? >> i think in this day and age, this is one of the reasons why a lot of people who are really good don't enter politics because everything about you, everything you say, every little minute detail about you could potentially go out there and explode, potentially in the wrong way. i look at interviews that we've done on this show that have exploded on the internet that i cannot understand and that were completely misunderstood. so there's a part of me that kind of cringes when i read this. he's got enough to deal with. at the same time, if he only performed for the cameras, that is, i guess, a measure of whether or not he's true. >> i think it does tell you something, though, because you're right, people can't be expected -- it's difficult to perform -- >> did he only hear it later? i don't know. >> it's difficult to perform every minute of every day. >> every minute, every second of every day. >> but the question is did it have to be a performance
