First Word: Anthony Weiner’s campaign manager quits

Anthony Weiner’s campaign manager, Danny Kedem, has resigned following new revelations that Weiner continued to send sexually explicit messages to women online even after his resignation from Congress. Before the allegations, Weiner had been leading Christine Quinn in the New York City mayoral race but has dropped nine points in recent polls after Weiner admitted that he carried on with his behavior under the alias “Carlos Danger.”
