Check out what's being offered in today's Clout!
What a mayoral campaign! ...
As state Rep. Curtis Thomas said Wednesday, "Vote like you've lost your mind!" Because, if you've been paying attention, you have.
The bad news is that in 11 days, all this will be over. The winner of the May 15 primary will be elected mayor in November over Republican Al Taubenberger (unless the city’s tiny GOP band concocts a mind-altering drug to reverse the party registration numbers.)
The memories of the craziest election in Philadelphia history will live on, however, thanks to Clout. We’ve produced a limited edition, high-quality set of mayoral candidate trading cards.
Each of the eight candidates has a card featuring photos and autograph on the front with statistics and a fun facts cartoon on the back.
Collect ‘em all, trade them for Phillies cards. Put the losers in your bicycle spokes after the election!
Here’s how to get your own set: Send an e-mail to mayorcards@phillynews.com with your name and address. Or send the same information to Clout Mayor Cards, Daily News, Box 7788, Philadelphia, PA 19101.
Yes, this is for real - I saw the prototypes - and they are really funny. They're even autographed. As they should be.
