Dwight Evans Narrowly Holding Off Queena Bass
 |
The big news the Daily News is touting is Michael Nutter's surge to the front of the race. Apparently, we white people are all racist!
But the real news in the poll is Dwight Evans' plummeting stature. In the new Daily News/Keystone poll, Evans' is in last with just three percent. Three percent! Did Dwight Evans murder a hooker and I didn't notice? Aren't all the state legislators who endorsed Evans like at least five percent of the voting public?
Only two percent of males surveyed said they were voting for Evans. The total three percent number means about eight people surveyed said they were voting for Evans. Yikes. Dwight Evans doesn't really do much to incite scorn, right?
Evans, though, continues to soldier on in the campaign, continues to, uh, win debates and continues to have virtually no support. His new tactic is saying Mike Nutter's crime record has no sizzle -- "All sizzle! No steak!" -- whereas Dwight Evans has personally saved at-risk youths from a life of crime. Three children who used Dwight Evans' programs went on to become the Boy Wonder, Robin.
Evans is continuing to use the food metaphor with the description of his own record on crime "beefy." He didn't go to Wendy's this time to do it, but hopefully his next campaign stop will be Morton's of Chicago on Walnut Street. I know it's a little pricey, but a trip there would really feed the reporters well and then they'd write nice things. I think this is how it works.
