Hold your horses! While all the talk’s been about which Democrat will be the next mayor of Philadelphia, there’s something brewing in the previously pulseless, but now rejuvenated local GOP - including the possible candidacy of a surprising dark horse.

In the party’s worst-kept secret, the power brokers from the divided factions in the city’s Republican Party have been quietly meeting over the past few months, and there are signs that the party may be ending its civil war and rallying behind a new leadership team as early as this week. This would be welcome news for party activists that have spent more time fighting each other than defeating Democrats.

I've been kidding that the 3 of us who voted for Toomey in Philly weren't going to vote for him next time. Look like I wasn't kidding. I guarantee 90% of that 11% are RINOs

I liked the part where they said over 1 million are registered out of 1.5 million.
Really
