Sam Katz: The Mayor’s Race Might Be Close!

040607samkatz.jpg

Hey, everybody: Remember Sam Katz? Wait, no? Oh, come on. Until this year, he ran for mayor at the end of every administration since Richardson Dilworth. Still no? Damn, you people have no memory.

Anyway, the former perennial mayoral candidate now has a blog, even though he “didn’t really know much about blogs before.” (Hat tip to Sam: Give it two weeks and you’ll be ready to wish you were back in the time when you didn’t know much about blogs.)

Katz is doing his mayoral blog for Phillymag, which means he should be doing an advertorial for the magazine in a few months. Oh, I’m sorry, that’s article subjects who get to do that.

So what wisdom is the former next mayor imparting on us?

It’s still too early, though, to make any kind of prediction. Voters haven’t focused and don’t know these candidates very well. Nothing has crystallized, and no one has really laid a glove on anybody else yet…. this is an election that will likely be decided by a few thousand votes, or fewer. It could end up in court, just where it began.

To recap: (1) The mayor’s race is still wide open. (2) The mayor’s race will be close. Thanks, Sam!

    Sorry you don’t like the blog but that’s why there are plenty of choices for you to post your thoughts on. Notwithstanding your historical re-write, my perennial runs were in 1991, 1999 and 2003. Dilworth left office in 1962 (I was 13). In any case, I will try to keep your suggestions for more insightful analysis in mind though, I suspect, you are not one whose mind is open to insight. As for wishing I didn’t know anything about blogs, rest assured that won’t be the case. I can live with the critics. Can you?

    Don’t take it personal Sam - hipsters mock EVERYTHING. That is how they actuate their own existance.

    Awe Sam, you don’t sound sorry!

    I will vote for anyone who runs on the “sense of humor for anyone who doesn’t have one” platform.
