After months of anticipation it has finally arrived: Inauguration Day. Not presidential, sadly; no, we have to endure that circus for another year yet. Today is the day Michael Nutter officially takes the reins as mayor and turns this city around, making it cleaner and safer (hopefully not in that order). Sadly if you don't have your tickets by now you will not be witnessing the event; the only public ticketed event, an "Inaugural Celebration" at the Navy Yard, has been sold out since last week, and the big swearing in at the Academy of Music is invite-only (note to Nutter: where's the Phillyist love?). We will be able to see him tomorrow though, when he opens City Hall up for a free public reception from 4-8PM (there's even promise of refreshments).

Common logic dictates that if, mere months ago you were indicted for tax fraud, your chances of winning a mayoral race are slim. Same for if you don’t live in the city where you are seeking office. Or the same state in which that city is located. Or if your brother is the much-maligned outgoing mayor.
