Philadelphia is a liberal monopoly. In the upcoming mayoral election, however, there may be a new sheriff in town. Ms. Dana Spain, a registered Democrat, would run as a Republican. A native of Philadelphia and a successful businesswoman, Ms. Spain is devoted to rebuilding Philadelphia’s crumbling brand. That is key; Philadelphia is the nation’s 5th largest city. Ms. Spain, spanking new to the political scene, asserts, “I am an outsider. The only thing that I have in mind here is to fix the city that I love.” Why run as a Republican? Because her intent is to repair what’s wrong, not to control how people live. Significantly, a fractured GOP is coalescing behind her.
These are just two, small forays into territory considered unalterably Democrat. Neither of these candidates is Conservative, to be sure but, neither one is Barney Frank, either. Change comes slowly. If this is any indication, Americans can reclaim their political reins and defy political carnage.
