3. The Philly mayoral race will come down to turnout

Look for extreme racial polarization.

5. That is what is happening

Street's comments that the "Bruthas and the Sistas were in charge" didn't help either.

I've heard that his campaign has made horrible mistakes and that Katz is leading the polls. Frankly the only thing that mave save Street is the fact that in the final days more Democrats may "come home". But I see Katz winning.
