Today's Question of the Day: How do you feel about Rep. Weiner admitting that he had inappropriate online relations and tweeted controversial pictures? Do you think he should resign? Do you think an ethics investigation is necessary? Tell us in comments.
U.S. Rep. Steve Israel, D- Huntington, supports an ethics investigation of Rep. Anthony Weiner, after Weiner confessed to sending sexually suggestive photos to women through social media.
Israel, who is chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Weiner engaged in "a deep personal failure and embarrassed himself, his family and the House," but did not explicitly say Weiner should resign.
For Wednesday's "Question of the Day," we're asking you your opinion on Weiner's actions.

I want him to stay. Let the Republicans make something out of this like the Democrats made out of Mark Foley. The Foley scandal broke in Sept of 06, just 2 months before the mid term elections,. Foley became the focus of the Democrat campaign. Nancy Pelosi then Minority Leader was going to "clean the swamp", remember? Republicans lost seats, leading to Pelosi becoming Majority Leader and Speaker of the House
The question of whether or not this was illegal has come up on all the cable shows. And the answer seems to be from all of them it is NOT, unless, he used Government Computers, from his House office, to send this pics, tweets, etc.
