Iceman Cliff Lee didn't have his lights-out stuff last night, but it was good enough as the Cardiac Kids v. 2.0 forced the World Series to a Game 6 with an 8-6 win. It'll be Pedro vs. Horseface on Wednesday.
If you voted in Philadelphia, you noticed the four referendum questions on the right-hand side of your ballot (see, we voted!). You can find the results here!
A private eye testified yesterday that Fumo hired him to snoop on Ed Rendell, a long string of political enemies, his own son, an ex-girlfriend, a former wife, and two topless dancers.
Once again, Pennsylvania is one of the most important “battleground” states whose electoral votes (21) could push one candidate or the other over the 270 votes needed to secure the Presidency. Candidates are making some of their final stops in and around Philadelphia.
"The defense attorney for State Sen. Vincent J. Fumo subjected Fumo's estranged son-in-law to a lively and grueling cross-examination yesterday, repeatedly challenging his testimony as a prosecution witness." Meanwhile, there was more testimony from the informant in the Fort Dix case, and a former employee of an affiliate of ACORN testified in another case that the community group knew that most new voter registration forms it had gathered were fraudulent.
In the wake of Super Tuesday, the Daily News and the Inquirer both take a look at how the candidates fared and what voter turnout was like in the area. The Daily News also reveals that the workers in the city commissioners office received over 400 calls from people who thought it was Election Day in Philadelphia, and who were trying to figure out why they couldn't find a polling place that was open. Um... wow.
The search for John Lewis, the suspect in the murder of Officer Chuck Cassidy, is over. Police apprehended him at a homeless shelter in Miami at 7AM. They tracked him down after learning that a relative had bought a bus ticket to Miami for him.
In more disturbing news, a police officer with the School District of Philadelphia has been suspended and is now facing charges after being identified as the suspect responsible for attempting to kidnap a 15-year-old girl in West Philly on Sunday.

According to the Philadelphia Business Journal and our fellow tweeters, Starbucks is giving coffee away to voters—all over the country! If you get a sticker confirming that you voted, bring it. But it appears that the honor system will be in effect for those of us (like Phillyist!) who were not given a sticker.

We admit it: we were some of the people utterly pooh-poohing the notion that Pennsylvania would be at all relevant in the presidential primaries, much less the hotbed of Democratic campaigning it’s turned into over the last few weeks. We were really just used to not mattering. But lo! What light through yonder voting-machine-curtain breaks? ‘Tis Chelsea Clinton, and Obama starting some shit that’s all the rage on the news channels. Guess we matter after all.

North Star Bar: where the rock stars intermingle with the crowd (probably due to the fact that the back stage area is the sidewalk of Poplar St.). Last night’s line-up featured the usual up-and-coming indie acts: Little Man Tate, Starcade, The Changes, and Monsters are Waiting (recently featured in this NYT article on what it really means for an indie band to play in big-exposure festivals). For a rainy Tuesday evening with news channels in full election night force, the crowd was understandably sparse - a few bar goers and friends of the band.
