Mayoral Race Still Cringe-Inducingly Lovable
Michael Nutter and Al Taubenberger continued their mutual face-licking at last night’s “Talk About It” forum at the Free Library, with both candidates engaging in their usual jovial agreement on most issues and total avoidance of all controversy. A rundown of the local coverage reveals that most reporters are completely exasperated — so a summary of their stories in movie-blurb format seems appropriate.
“Courteous and positive, the candidates displayed a level of civility rarely seen in past Philadelphia mayoral debates.” — Jenny Dehuff, The Evening Bulletin
“Another friendly wonk-fest …” — Dave Davies, Philadelphia Daily News
“A night that was heavy on smiles and chummy kidding …” — Larry Eichel, The Philadelphia Inquirer
