The inside scoop is that this was a direct shot at potential opponent Bob Brady whose mother is an Italian-American. Despite the chidish nature of the stunt, how do you think these signs will go over on South Broad in a couple of weeks during the Columbus Day Parade? Or in North or West Philly? Don't we need a mayor who will lead us all without these old fashioned sectarian views of this neighborhood v that neighborhood or this racial or ethnic group v that one?
