Yes because every major election most big name politicians are required to endorse a candidate. (1) it means Nutter is recognized in a larger political arena than just our fair city. (2) His decision to endorse Hillary shows his maturity; by ignoring race as a coeffiecint his decision was based on the issues and he feels Hillary would be best for the job and the City of Philadelphia. (3) Knowing his decision might be unpopular, but being the best choice for him and for the City he stood by his convictions (4) He could have done a quick in & out endorsement but he chose to make & air TV ads voicing his endorsement, showing strength of character.
Mr. Nutter is a political force to be reckoned with and could possibly be a Presidental Contender of his own in 2032. What he does and how he handles crisis between now & then will show the true temper of his metal.
I was not a Nutter nut when he first ran for & became mayor but his ability to fire the public's enthusiasm and spirit as proven by his City wide Cleanup day have convinced me he is a Man of Change in word and action.

To me, Clinton represents the "old democratic party". I feel Nutter has more in common with Obama than Clinton so his strong endorsement of Clinton kind of sent me mixed signals. Is he for change, or the old way of doing things? Regardless, he is a breath of fresh air for Philadelphia.
