So much for continuing to reducing the homicide rate in Philly. Having the two micks split the vote. One should have recused himself from the ballot to avoid this worst outcome for DA.

Sadly, another RACIST election, in the City of Brotherly Loathe. Whites voting for Whites; Blacks voting for the sole Black. The White vote is split, and the Black man wins. I am glad that I moved from this ONE-PARTY, RACIST TOWN. I only regret that I still pay some taxes to Philadelphia, and my Pennsylvania and US taxes help support this barrel of thieves and incompetants. The Republicans are NOTHING, and Philadelphians would vote for the Devil, if he were a Democrat. The people of Philadelphia get the government that they deserve. Philadelphia---Reverse Racists, and Proud of It!!

You think the whole "community placement" thing is a sad joke now. Expect to see a lot more of this: http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/news/investigative/051809_Halfway_House_Escapes

People... don't give up faith. Seth MAY have won and Philly MAY have lost... but this is only MAY... there's still NOV. -- So if you really want change and let the Philly corrupted Democrats know that YOU are stronger, then let's get Untermeyer more centered and VOTE REPUBLICAN come Nov. -- Tell me that won't put corrupted politicians on notice. It can't be any worst.

Coop - Don't feel sorry for me, feel sorry for yourself. I am in no danger of Seth's wrath as you are - that I can guarantee you of. He who laughs last, laughs best... there's still Nov. so don't underestimate the will of the people. They are mightier than all your words of hate. Enjoy it while you can, because I and others who feel the same will not give up.

No joke ... I am not laughing at the candidates that lost. But, loons like you are sorta funny ... Despite that, I now feel REALLY sorry for you. Pretty sure the "last laugh" came last night though ... You just keep on keepin' on. Unfortunately, you won't have Coop to kick around anymore. For me, it's a "new day."

hmmm... after reviewing the election results - http://phillyelectionresults.com/default.html - it is evident Seth did not win on merit... it was strictly race. Sad... Phillie is so desperate for change they settled for an Obama wannabe with no substance of true and equal justice... but hey there's still Nov for real HOPE.
