Reply #5: Even people who think Street is a substandard mayor [View All]

[roughsatori]

are telling me they will vote for him because of how much this looks like a fix involving the Justice Department. One Dem friend of mine who was not going to vote for Street says she now will make a point of doing so.

I lived in Philadelphia until recently, Rendell absolutely spearheaded a major change for the better in Philadelphia. Street has faltered and is a divisive figure. But EVERYONE I talk to thinks it is fishy that this is happening now. My Republican Uncle even told me he thinks it is being done so Katz wins Philly and helps usher in Bush*.

Street knows that playing up the race angle will work for him and is doing so, on the news he has said "This is racial profiling." That is a bit tawdry and dishonest. This is not about his skin color, this is about the Republican machine attempting to steal an other election.
