I say Weiner/Holder would be stiff competition in any election. They’ll take on all comers, and rise to the occasion.

If they want the transgender vote, they’ll have to run as Holder/Wiener.

It would be an unstoppable ticket. The only hope the Republicans would have would be to get Cheney to run. Because Dick is the only one that could challenge Weiner.
