Let's take a minute to tout the new blog by the Inquirer's Great Expectations project. This ongoing project, done by the Inquirer Editorial Board, is a big-think effort: It's about the hopes and dreams of the city as reflected in the mayor's election -- with the goal of setting an agenda for the lucky guy who gets the office.
Though the Inquirer and Daily News (one of the partners of The Next Mayor) are often editorial competitors, in this case, we're helping each other. The Next Mayor will link to Great Expectations, and they will link to us. That's because both newspapers see this race as something city-changing, and we are serious about using every tool at our disposal to cover the race in an accurate, fair, interesting, voter-focused and issue-focused way.
So, good luck, Great Expectations!
