From today's New York Times:
"During the forum sponsored by Crain's New York Business, there was a bit of a change in chemistry. The focus seemed to shift perceptibly from Fernando Ferrer, who despite his current troubles had long been considered the candidate to beat, to Anthony D. Weiner...
"[T]he ambitious congressman left no doubt Tuesday morning that he would be heard. Early on during the breakfast event at the Grand Hyatt -before anyone raised the subject - he delivered the sound bites of the day when he said that Mr. Ferrer's proposal to impose a tax on stock trades temporarily was 'kind of like someone running for governor of Wisconsin proposing a dairy tax.' "
