With three hours safely under Anthony Weiner‘s belt, the former congressman who is now not-so-secretly vying to be the next Mayor of New York City has two tweets and just over 2,800 brand-new followers on his account, @anthonyweiner.

The account was apparently created on January 3rd of this year.

Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin have recently been courting press in an attempt to recast the ex-congressman’s scandal-stained image. In an interview with the New York Times, Weiner made his theme that of second chances. Just a week ago, he re-released a book of his ideas for the New York City entitled, “Keys to the City,” revealing his intentions behind the comeback attempt.

But Weiner’s not letting go of his old account, @RepWeiner, which tweeted (or was it a subtweet?) simply, “@anthonyweiner,” signaling to those 67,766 followers that a new account had been created for them to now follow.

According to the Twitter analytics site Twtrland.com, 55% of @RepWeiner’s followers are women. One can only wonder how many women will wait for that promising follow-back (his new account is following no one at this time) and that fateful direct message.

Two of the publicized images that eventually forced former Congressman Anthony Weiner to resign in 2011.
