My colleague Tim and I hung around the polls after Nutter voted to speak to some of his constituents. Most of them said they came out in the rain to exercise their right in hope for a better future.
Jacquelien Allen from Wynnefield she voted with an "interest in making sure the city moves forward."
"Things have completely gotten out of hand to a level that's never been seen before," said Ben Benton of Wynnefield, who voted for Nutter.
He said he knows to solve the crime problem in the city will not be an easy task and that one man can not carry out that mission alone.
"[City government officials] will be able to make some difference as to what's going on out there. Hopefully, people will be safer in the city."
After that Tim and I headed over the Ace Dinner, where Nutter was having breakfast with his family. He took the time to speak to some of the people in the dinner. Tim was able to talk to him right as he was leaving the dinner to comment on the capture of John Lewis.
I was able to obtain a schedule from one of Nutter's people. Here it is and I will be right behind in every step of the way.
11:30 at the Breakfast club on Cecil B Moore
12:00 at Sheet Metal Workers Union Hall at 1300 S. Columbus Blvd.
1:00 at Sadiki at 71st and Ogontz
2:00 at 633 West Erie Ave
3:15 at Melrose Diner on Synder
Looks like a tight schedule. I hope I can travel in my car as fast as he can.

I was number 25 at my polling place. I voted to not retain any of the judges. Yes, I know, some of them deserve to be retained. but I want Harrisburg to convene a Constitutional Convention, and if there is a bloodbath in the judges retention ballot, I might see one.
