This has nothing to do with the Mayor's race, but it is about Philly politics. And sorta funny.
This from the Associated Press' daily "daybook," which is a planning advisory for AP clients:
SWANN/MATTHEWS SKED Campaign schedule for Republican
gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann and running mate Jim Matthews:
4:30 p.m. Swann Rides Broad Street Subway Starting Location:
Broad Street and Fairmount Avenue, Route: Fairmount Station to City
Hall, Philadelphia
5:00 p.m. Swann greets commuters at clothespin 15th and Market
streets, Philadelphia
5:30 p.m. Matthews visits Vesper Boat Club Row and Reception
10 Boathouse Row, Philadelphia
6:00 p.m. Swann rides Market-Frankford El Starting Location:
15th and Market streets Route: 15th Street Station to 69th Street
Station, Philadelphia
1) It's amusing anytime that someone decides to turn riding Septa into a press event. Here's hoping the good buskers are down in the City Hall station.
2) Which sticks out more -- his elaborate route planning or the running mate hanging at the boat club?

If you put their two schedules together, you pretty much get my after school schedule from high school.

I wonder if the guy on the clothespin steps asked him, "Spanish or Chiiinese?" (I think that means "spare some change?").
