Philly politics gets nastier than usual, and that is definitely saying something:

As he made his way toward his campaign van, he was surrounded by the union guys, who continued their harassment.

According to reports in this paper and the Philadelphia Daily News, the highlight of the night was a guy named Mike Fera screaming at Katz, calling him a "sexual predator."

Asked what he meant, Fera said he was referring to a sexual-harassment suit filed against Katz 20 years ago by an employee who later dropped her suit.

Fera wasn't satisfied with hassling Katz. He went for the candidate's wife, Connie, who was at the rally.

I hope that Katz wins this friggin election. I further hope the first thing he does is allow non-union firms obtain contracts and smacks the IBEW right across the mouth.
