Well, the Philadelphia mayoral election is almost with us. The primary, anyway, which is what matters. Michael Nutter seems to be getting endorsed by every local publication - Inqy, Daily News, Philadelphia Magazine, City Paper - though whether that reflects well on him I have no idea.
The election is pretty weird. I wouldn't have predicted a Knox-Nutter showdown, which is what polls say it is right now. You basically have a rich guy with not much gov't experience and a wonky ex-city councilman beating two members Congress, one of whom basically runs one wing of the Philadelphia machine, and a prominent state legislator.
I still don't know who I'm going to vote for, but it's been interesting to watch.
