Nutter just spoke to a crowd of reporters at the Warwick Hotel in Center City, his hangout for the evening. Catherine Lucey was there, too. (As were pols including Lynne Abraham and Angel Ortiz.)
"I feel pretty good," Nutter told reporters. "I don't have any solid numbers, obviously, the polls closed a little while ago. [But] it feels like people are ready for change."
And he promised just that: "I am going to change the way we do business in Philadelphia," he said.
Reporters also asked if he had spoken today to Al Taubenberger, his buddy on the campaign trail through so many earnest and well-meaning appearances and debates. "I have not," he replied. "Today is perhaps the only day I have not spoken to Al Taubenberger."
