Inky has the report on this morning's Democratic Party ward leader breakfast at the Sheet Metal Workers hall on Columbus Boulevard.
Bob Brady said nice things about Nutter and Nutter said nice things about the ward leaders, whose help he plans to call upon for what promises to be an epic battle against Republican Al Taubenberger in November.
"He'll do a great job as mayor," Brady told the assembled ward leaders, pledging his fealty after what he called a "family squabble." ...
"I know I've not always been the easiest guy to work with and get along with - but, other than Bob Brady, I'm the most lovable," Nutter said.
No surprise...Brady and Nutter have always had a strong working relationship, and now more than ever, they need each other. I think they'll make a strong team to improve Philadelphia. With Nutter as Mayor, Brady in D.C. and running the Party, and Evans in Harrisburg (not to mention Governor Rendell, Perzel and O'Brien), Philadelphia is in good shape!

An amazing two weeks. Philadelphia narrowly avoided catasrophe by sending Tom "the loan shark" Knox down to defeat. Philadelphia is now going to get, in Nutter, a highly accomplished person who is now building a broad based coalition to run Philadelphia.
Consider how divided this City has been the last eight years. Think about how the current administration has saught to pit neighborhoods against one another.
Now contrast that with the meeting between Nutter and Brady. Philadelphia has truly turned a corner.

I am not shocked -Brady and Nutter always got along -there is a lot of respect -genuine respect between these leaders.
When we voted Michael in and stopped the Evil kNOx we turned the corner for Philadelphia.
Let's hope that Nutter has the courage to dismiss Dougherty and his evil cadre of misfits -they are a disgrace to the Democratic system. Where do they get all that money from??????
