Philly Weekly endorsed Nutter in today's paper, which means the dreaded media has almost completely coalesced around the former Councilman. They used a photoshopped picture of the former Mixmaster Mike on the cover.
"I think the voters must be thrilled beyond their wildest imaginations to have such a cool person running for mayor," he said of PW's cover shot. "I’m looking forward to more coolness in Philadelphia."
That's a pretty dorky answer about coolness, if we do say so. If anything, Nutter's cornered the market on making dorky cool. Even if he loses, that could be his lasting effect on Philadelphia.
While he completely dominated Chaka Fattah today in the "Banner-holding Volunteers at Reading Terminal Market" category, we should see how strong Nutter's volunteer base really is when he holds a 5:45 p.m. rally at the Convention Center tomorrow.
That's big heading into Election Day as so much of the support in today's poll is considered "soft" and change is possible.
thanks Frank Keel, yet another great post...this blog keeps getting "better" and "better"

You seem to think I'm being anti-Nutter?
I don't have to defend myself everytime someone calls my objectivity into question, but what are you talking about?

You most certainly do not come accross as anti-Nutter, as a member of the Nutter Butter nation, please accept our sincerest appology for this renegate nutter.

Wait a second, I don't come across as pro-Nutter do I?
As I tell everyone, I don't care who wins. I try to be as fair as possible, make a few jokes when things can be made fun of, and provide info.
For the record, I'm voting for Jesus White.

No man, you're fine. Objectivity is in the eye of the beholder....hope that made sense.
