Police said the death of a four-month-old baby marked the 300th murder of a potential Democratic voter in the city of Philadelphia.

Not to make light of the tragic death of a child, but sadly this is true. Philadelphia has more people registered to vote than persons eligible to vote in the city. Any guesses as to which way they vote?

The deceased are quite civic-minded too, voter turnout in Philly is always 20%+ more than the rest of the state. The "Get Out the Dead" campaigns in Philly arguably provided the winning margins for Gore in 2000, Rendell in '02 and Kerry in '04.
