Tom Knox got pretty seriously heckled last night at the Penrose Diner. He looked really nervous about the whole thing. One guy called him corrupt and said he was a Nutter man. Another guy asked Knox who he had to screw over to make so much money. He went up to this table of two young Hispanic people and said, “I’m Tom Knox, and I’m running for mayor” (which is exactly what he said to EVERY table, EVERY time, like a robot), and the guy says, “You know, I never would have known that.” Knox didn’t seem to get the joke.It was nice to see Knox getting heckled, but I’m trying to figure out why the hell there isn’t some band of people that have organized to disrupt Knox’s public appearances, like Street’s people did to Katz in 2003. Frankly, I don’t care so much about who does win. I care more that Knox doesn’t.

It’d be pretty to think that the primary will be a referendum on whether Knox can buy the Democratic nom. “Well Tom, you did have the highest showing in the primary, but if we take all the other candidates and lump them as ‘anyone but Tom Knox’ you lose, I’m sorry.” It’d be pretty….
Curious, but too lazy to beat the info out of the Committee of 70 myself, can a candidate actually win with less than a quarter of the vote in the primary, or is there some sort of run off system allowed? If the big K takes it, can any of the “losers” pull a Lieberman, but in a good way? I’m guessing Fattah may be the only guy with the money to do that.
