Reply #4: Don't cry for Street [View All]

[Pab Sungenis]

Street is a boor, and the only things that put him in office are (1) the corrupt Philadelphia Democratic machine, and (2) Yellow dog votes.

After all, he won Philadelphia, where Democratic candidates usually get somewhere around 80% of the vote, by less than ten points in 1999, and even a number of long-time Democrats have been rooting for Katz this time. Katz isn't a right wingnut, and won't hurt the City much.

Sometimes, the only way to get rid of the scum in our own party is to vote them out...and come along with someone better the next time around.
