The upsets, landslides and biggest losers in CP's Primary Poll!
Want to get a taste of next week's election, like, right now?
Head over to City Paper's nail-biting 2011 Ultimate Primary Poll!, where there are landslides, upsets and big losers aplenty ... where mayoral candidate T. Milton Street is somehow grabbing 21 percent of the vote, Al Schmidt is the biggest winner of anyone with 87 percent of the vote, and incumbents are losing all over.
Want to cast a vote? Our polls are open until Tuesday, May 17, at 8 p.m.
Here are some of the most interesting results thus far:
- Michael Nutter is winning in the Democratic mayoral race, of course, but you might be surprised he's got 70 percent of the vote. T. Milton Street has 21 percent.
- Al Schmidt is on the verge of a landslide in the Republican City Commissioners race with 87 percent of the vote, while incumbent Joseph Duda has 5 percent and Marie Delany 8 percent.
- Democratic City Commissioners candidates Stephanie Singer (62 percent) and Blair Talmadge (15) are winning. Incumbents Anthony Clark (5) and Marge Tartaglione (7) are losing pretty badly.
- Sheriff candidate John Kromer, the guy who wants to abolish the office he's running for, is winning with a whopping 71 percent. Jewell Williams is behind him with 19 percent.
- In the Republican Council at-large race, Joseph McColgan (12 percent), David Oh (20), Dennis O'Brien (15), Al Taubenberger (12) and Elmer Money (17) are the top five winners. Incumbent Frank Rizzo is not among them.
- In the Democratic Council at-large race, Blondell Reynolds Brown (14 percent), Sherrie Cohen (13), Andy Toy (29), Bill Green (8) and Jim Kenney (12) are winning. Incumbent Bill Greenlee is not.
- Mark Squilla's winning in the 1st Council District race with 48 percent, but guess who's second? Jeff Hornstein with 29. Guess an endorsement from former Gov. (and Mayor) Ed Rendell isn't worth what it used to be: Joe Grace has 7 percent of the vote.
- In the 2nd Council District race, Barbara Capozzi is winning with 54 percent, while Kenyatta Johnson's claiming 35 percent and Tracey Gordon has 12.
- It's a tight race in the 6th Council District: Bobby Henon has 52 percent; Martin Bednarek has 48.
- In the 7th, Danny Savage is beating incumbent Maria Quinones-Sanchez with 60 and 40 percent of the vote, respectively.
- And in the 8th, things are split every which way: Cindy Bass is winning with 36 percent of the vote, with Howard Treatman (22) and Greg Paulmier (18) right behind her.
Is it me or do most of the "Vote" buttons not work? Clicking on them brings up the "Share This" menu instead. Hope it's not an omen of Tues. to come.— workerholic
