Yesterday, we pondered what Mayor Nutter's support for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would look like over the next few weeks. The answer? Robust. Nutter said yesterday he would back Clinton to the hilt. Although some African American elected officials who've backed Clinton have been pressured by their consituents to support Barack Obama instead, the consensus among local political observers is that Nutter likely won't be dinged in the least for endorsing Clinton.
The safest course, naturally, is to sit the contest out. But that's not Nutter's style. And from all accounts he is a huge Clinton fan. Heard in the Hall was told Nutter whooped it up louder than anyone Tuesday night as Clinton supporters watched the election results come in at Finnigans Wake in Northern Liberties.
