Weinburger is right to the extent that the latino community "owes it" to weiner to vote for him. that said, they might not.
I think the better question, I think, is this: Weiner HAS to support Carrion for Comptroller, right? Supporting Katz, Yassky, or Weprin will get him nothing and will only hurt him with Latinos. All are jewish and Katz is also from Forest Hills like Weiner (Yassky also already plays to the young crowd like Weiner). Thus, none help Weiner. I think he has to endorse Carrion to even think about getting Latino support.
