Former President Bill Clinton just arrived at the Democratic City Committee meeting where ward leaders will discuss whether to endorse U.S. senators Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.  Clinton gave a wave as he entered the party's Walnut Street headquarters but did not stop to answer questions from the press.

Mayor Nutter, a Clinton backer, told PhillyClout's Catherine Lucey that he thinks it would be best if the City Committee avoided endorsing one candidate over another, allowing a free-flowing debate about the candidates for the next seven weeks.  Word in political circles has been that the party won't endorse one candidate. 

But Nutter will believe it when he sees it. "I've lived my life making it a habit never to predict what will happen in City Council or Philadelphia City Committee," the mayor said.
