Nutter Rising

It is pretty amazing that the 5th most-visible candidate out of 5 is lapping the field in the Philadelphia mayor's race. And Chris Bowers has a great piece about what it means that a progressive reformer candidate like Michael Nutter can become such a force. Give it a read.

I think it's a telling sign that a Swiftboat-like anti-Nutter group has ties to the current Mayor. They don't want him messing with the status quo. I think that's the prime mover for reform Democrats.
