Are these the makings of a New York mayor?

The FEC finding marks the second time this year that Weiner's past
campaigns have run afoul of the agency's rules. In May, the FEC
found Weiner received an improper $28,000 loan from his parents
during the 1998 campaign.

Weiner, 40, has said that loan was an innocent mistake made when
he was squeezed for money and and his parents wanted to help.

The three-term congressman is considering running for mayor in
2005 against incumbent Republican Michael Bloomberg. He has
painted the mayor as a weak representative of the city's
interests, charging Bloomberg has not done enough to wrest federal
dollars from Republican lawmakers in Washington
