Here's the promo copy:
Today at 10 am, RADIO TIMES will feature Democratic mayoral candidate Tom Knox. He is a businessman who has managed and owned a number of companies in the Philadelphia region. Until 2006, he served as Chief Executive Officer of United Healthcare of Pennsylvania. He has worked as a state rehabilitator for Fidelity Mutual Insurance, served as Chairman of Crusader Bank, and served briefly in Mayor Ed Rendell's administration as deputy mayor for management and productivity reporting to Rendell. He lives in the Rittenhouse Square area of Center City.
Have at it!

Knox is fumbling to answer the David Fishbone question. For somebody who's claiming to eliminate the "family-style" (in his words) patronage-like employment in City Hall, this case looks awfully close.
I don't give Knox much more time.

Knox just plain can't speak

I love how he wasn't aware that local 98 has a history of voter intimidation.

Street and Evans can't speak either, and that hasn't stopped them.

He's not the greatest public speaker, but I still like Evans a lot. I admire what he has accomplished in Harrisburg and would vote for him any other time. For this race though, I'm really excited about Nutter. I think he could be a great mayor and a breath of fresh air for Philly politics.

Nutter a breath of fresh air for Philly politics???? How long was he in city council?
According to him, he's been in charge of only the good things that have happend in the city. Wasn't he in council a majority of the year during which the city hit a record high murder rate? Wasn't he in councel when the city lost some of it's major businesses? AAA anyone?
Seriously, have you been reading only the press releases put out by the candidates?
He's going to be business as usual...just like all those other career politicians! These clowns (Brady, Evans, Fattah)have been running this city & region in to the ground. They are doing nothing more than dangling a couple of silly so-called accomplishments in front of voters. Not ONE OF THEM can say that the entire City of Philadelphia improved while they were in charge of any portion of it.
I'm voting for Knox. He KNOWS how to run a successful business. This city needs someone who knows what success looks like and how to achieve it!

Knox and Blackwell??? LOL! Knox must think the people are stupid.

Knox considers it a business accomplishment to make millions exploiting the poor. Imagine what he would do as mayor in partnership with anti-ethical Blackwell. If you're a working man or woman in Philadelphia, don't fall for the Knox trap. It's all smoke and mirrors. Don't take my word for it. Listen to any significant interview with the guy and you'll realize just how clueless he is about city government.

The fact that Knox is partnering with Blackwell shows just how little he thinks of the voters. Only someone who really believes the voters are stupid would do such a thing.

There are 17 people on city council and Philadelphia has a strong-mayor form of government. Although the government as a whole has obviously done a poor job, you can't judge individual elected officials solely based on how government as a whole has done.

Is it just me or did Knox first say he wanted to fire a lot of people if elected and, later on, say he doesn't like to fire anyone?
