Just finished rounding up all of the issues-based and political stories I could find for today and what tops the list:
Yep, Gar Joseph's Clout column in today's Daily News that reveals that your favorite millionaire candidate and mine, Tom Knox, is contemplating a run at governor... or possibly senator. I guess he hasn't decided which yet and probably doesn't care. Either way, it's a chance to flood the airwaves with more commercials about his rags-to-riches story. That oughta play well in the "T" as will his penchant for finger nail filing and his love of the opera.
Student's perspective of Nutter's visit to Drexel.
The transfer lives to fight for another week but the FTA gives SEPTA the ok to shaft poor folks.
We have double coverage (compliments of the Metro and Inquirer) of crews who are in charge of cleaning up the SEPTA underground. If the Center City District can pull this off, maybe we should consider conveying "Mayor for Life" status on Paul Levy.
And finally, we love keeping up with our former mayoral candidates around here so here's a mention of something that Chaka Fattah did.

Well the way I see it , whatever base equivalence Mr. Knox decides as his next power blend. Mrs. Knox will for sure be a valuable feature.

Oh, puh-leese. I haven't had to support a Republican since the first time John Lindsay ran for mayor of NYC, and I was too young to vote then. Not Arlen! Please!

Must admit ms , it has been extremely boring with soon to be mayor Nutter and the cape crusader Taubenberger's desperate and unflourishing image all summer. If nothing else its quite pleasant to see Mr. Knox at least make a focusing fair-fated touch at Communication and Community Relations.
Whether Mr. Knox is facing disillusionment or recognition. I can't answer. In my opinion the two mayoral candidates have been turn-offs and if anything perhaps Arlen should pay attention to Mr. Knox's personal influence and apparent alternatives.

I think Senator Toomey sounds much better...

I might vote for Knox for congress over Fattah (or is he in Brady's district?). That's about it.

Idiot -Knox wants nothing to do with Congress, so you can go back to your Local 98 Arts & Crafts class.
As for the informed - Tom is a great candidate to unseat Arlen Specter. It is the right job for a man like him. He has the money and he now knows who "not" to have around him in a campaign!
KNOX FOR US SENATE!

That's why we lost -moron!
Now -back to the Arts & Crafts class at Local 98 - you are too obvious.
