"Draft Katz" For Mayor Buttons Starting To Show Up

Sam Katz is out stumping for funding to complete a multimedia documentary series on the history of the city, dubbed "Philadelphia, The Great Experiment." He screened the first episode at the Friends of Independence annual meeting last week at Franklin Court's Underground Museum. And some curious political trinkets were passed around.

From today's PhillyClout column:  Sam Katz is out stumping for funding to complete a multimedia documentary series on the history of the city, dubbed "Philadelphia, The Great Experiment." He screened the first episode at the Friends of Independence annual meeting last week at Franklin Court's Underground Museum.

And some curious political trinkets were passed around. One was later dropped off at PhillyClout world headquarters. The blue-and-yellow button - same colors as the city's flag - says "Draft Katz Mayor."

Katz, who ran for mayor three times as a Republican but now is registered as a Democrat, told us he saw the buttons but had nothing to do with them.
