I hope the voters in Blackwell's district know

I hope the voters in Blackwell's district know about Knox's predatory lending and health insurance fiascos.
Frankly, I dont see how anyone can support a person who profited by keeping others on the bottom rung of the economic ladder.
If they vote for Fattah, Blackwell loses all credibility. But let's face it. There is no love lost between Fattah and Blackwell anyway. She was bound to work her district against Fattah so Fattah doesn't lose here anyway.
A bad deal for Knox but it has no effect on Blackwell or Fattah. A Bad deal for Knox helps Nutter. Nutter gets more momentum tomorrow. People see him as the viable and preferable candidate to Knox. Nutter wins going away if we all get out and vote for him and avoid the also rans.

What they should do instead is write-in someone, ANYONE, against her. Of all the people on City Council, she is the last person who should be allowed to run unopposed!
She isn't unopposed. A
She isn't unopposed. A Republican is running against her (unless something had happened to him).

Well, obviously a primary write-in isn't going to accomplish anything, so energy is better utilized pushing the actual opponent.

Unfortunately
The voters in West Philly likely to go for Knox are not terribly different from those who would vote for Blackwell anyway. Partly its based on a fairly surface level pitch for "compassion" and as they already both pointed out at their last joint press conference - they both grew up in public housing projects - so they can lay claim to understand what poverty feels like. Its a good match in many ways, both seem insular and vindictive at times in personal interaction while their public personas of grand "compassion" hides a Machiavelian drive for power.
Incidentally...
According to a flyer I just found in my local cafe, I can earn $100/day working May 12-15 for an unnamed "Democratic candidate." Wanna take three guesses whose number (215-636-0660) is listed on the flyer?
How curiously anonymous and weird...on the other hand, I really want an iPhone. OK, I'll consider it, Tom.
