Thursday's DN: Mayor Nutter's Shaky Poll Numbers
Chris Brennan
Mayor Nutter is politically vulnerable, a new Franklin & Marshall College/Daily News Poll shows but only T. Milton Street is stepping up to challenge him in the Primary Election. The poll also shows that Philadelphia thinks one casino is enough.
The Philadelphia Police sergeant who once headed Nutter's security detail now faces FBI scrutiny.
And former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld leaves an audience with questions about war but does spill the story about the time he met Sammy Davis Jr. and Elvis Presley.

he's the worst...except for all the others.— dreinterests- As if it matters. Philadelphia will keep electing the same corrupt and/or incompetent democrats no matter what.
We get the leaders we deserve.— Tannhauser 
I like Mayor Nutter and voted for him. But he did not fulfill his campaign promise to clean out City Hall. In fact, under his watch, we've seen scandal after scandal where people stole millions and he did nothing. All he ever says about these scandals is that he has no power to act. I know he came into a bad economy, but his answer was to raise taxes by 9.9% and 14.2% during the worst recession in our lifetime. No choice left now. Vote out ALL incumbents. Every damn one of 'em.— The Monk
