It Ain't Over 'Till It's Over

I don't claim to have omniscient judgment on these issues. Local politicians are harder to judge that national ones, generally, but as far as I can tell Kenney is the best of the lot.

James F. Kenney holds a commanding lead in Philadelphia's Democratic mayoral primary, according to an independent poll conducted within the past week.

With less than a week until Tuesday's primary, a survey of 600 likely voters showed Kenney with 42 percent support, far ahead of both former District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham and state Sen. Anthony H. Williams, each of whom were favored by 15 percent of those polled.

Not that I care, but I find it a bit amusing at how little coverage Philly politics gets nationally. Sure bigger cities, and of course Washington, get more coverage for obvious reasons, but places like Boston and Atlanta tend to get more coverage for reasons I've never quite figured out.
