Philly mayoral election gets even uglier.
In a campaign that has been marked by FBI wiretaps, cries of an Ashcroft-inspired plot to steal the election for Republicans, and Molotov cocktails tossed through windows at campaign headquarters, the city of Philadelphia was hoping to utter a collective sigh today as the tumultuous campaign came to a close. But stories just now filtering into news outlets in the region reflect the sad truth that today was more icing on the cake than a civil conclusion.
One supporter of Republican candidate Sam Katz was struck with a two-by-four and others were punched in the face. And those are just some of the stories which are being reported.
