The Allentown Morning Call is reporting in an "exclusive" that Philly mayor John Street will back Hilary in her prez bid. Oh boy. Street is corrupt, his brother is being investigated for political dealings, Philly is in looking like shite' again, violence is increasing, and the Morning Call thinks this is a big deal and a positive thing for Hilary. His approval rating in the city is about 25%.
Who cares. The Morning Call thinks it is big because they have an "exclusive". Street will only help Rodham-Clinton if felons can vote.
Here is part of the MCall's "exclusive".
WASHINGTON -- Philadelphia Mayor John Street sat down with U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton at a hotel here a few weeks ago and made a pledge that carries powerful symbolism in this year's Democratic presidential primary race: He would endorse her candidacy.
The promise comes amid what many political observers say is a fierce battle among the candidates to line up black supporters ever, ahead of a primary where the African-American vote is expected to play a crucial role in determining the nominee."You'll have a lot of eyes watching to see how the African-American community is lining up behind (Clinton and Obama)," said Muhlenberg College political science professor Christopher Borick. "It is the symbolic national appeal of being able to say I've got this many African-American mayors of this many major cities."Christopher Borick's claim is ridiculous. I love the part "It is the symbolic national appeal of being able to say i've got this many African-American mayors of this many major cities." "National appeal"? To whom? Borick is and has always been behind when it comes to intellect.
