Fumo Out

State Senator Vince Fumo has dropped out of the race and will retire at the end of his term. Not to mention that he's been indicted on over 40 counts of lots of nasty stuff.

That leaves Anne Dicker and Johnny Doc (electrician's union leader John Dougherty). I would guess a deal was made with Dougherty. Or someone--it's Philly politics, there's got to be a deal nearby somwhere.

I support Anne Dicker. She's a true progressive and actively supports single-payer healthcare. If you aren't making contributions to a local race, Anne is a great choice to support in Philly, and she needs your help.
