I frankly don't care if a rep (at the state or federal level) brings back a lot of money when it goes to something shady or stupid. I think the last thing we need is somebody that sees unions as priority one. Do i need to remind anyone of that monstrosity known as the Pennsylvania Convention Center? The union stranglehold on that place has lost more conventions than the gun violence ever could. The unions also tried to derail the green building practices of the Comcast Tower because it meant less work for them. Hell, i could list things like this all day... but i am not union, so i actually have work to do. I agree with Walter, Doc may be a good fighter…. but what’s he going to fight for?

According to the Inquirer, he has said he's keeping his six-figure union job if he wins the election.

Wow. You should get Conor to write for Philebrity more often. Wow.

Did Van Hagar somehow end up in some campaign licensed music bargain bin this year?Seriously, in bounding way way over it in combat boots, Connor or the headline editor seems to have missed there's a very fine line between ironic and and straight up cynical. The "laddie" line before big Bill was charming. This, er, wow. Here's hoping his batting average of calling the returns is as accurate as his mayoral handicapping.Shit, I forgot Dougherty's well aware of what "new Philadelphia" or "big and little pee progressive" united Philadelphia can do post Nutter. That's why he told Dicker to stay in the race.
