Ed Rendell has endorsed Carlos Vega. Krasner won in 7 man primary with 38% of the vote(59,000 votes), so there's a good chance he'll be knocked off with NE Philly turnout alone.
Rendell is seen as a tough on crime 1990s moderate Democrat....he is in a sense...that's why he was effective as Philadelphia mayor....used that formula to win the 2002 Pennsylvania governorship.....
Isn't the Rendell formula bygone in the modern Democratic Party?
If you're using crime as an indicator of how effective mayors are, keep in mind that crime fell throughout the 90s in every major American city. It now seems to be on a slight uptick - in every major American city. (Yes, I know who I'm replying to.)
