Nutter Butters Up Philly Voters

Former Philly city councilman Michael Nutter won the Democrat nomination for Philadelphia mayor last night after crushing all opposition.

The former city councilman, a determined foe of Mayor Street's in recent years, prevailed in a primary that marked the first time in decades that voting did not follow clear racial lines. (H/T - The Philadelphia Inquirer)

Since there has not been a Republican mayor here in over 50 years, it's safe to say that Nutter will be the next resident of City Hall. While he is no friend to the Philadelphia Police - who is? - he is the anti-John Street, and that in itself will give me a little comfort during the next four years.
