Chaka Fattah announcing he is running for mayor of Philadelphia, his wife, NBC 10 anchor Renee Chenault-Fattah, will remain at the anchor desk, despite a blatantly obvious conflict of interest.

• 13-year-old Naiym Muhammed is being charged as an adult in the Sunday fire in Germantown that killed a 17-year-old girl and critically injured her mother. The charges against Muhammed include murder, arson, conspiracy. More charges are expected. Police say the fire was set in retribution over a small debt.
• Some local Dems are finding it a little harder to support Bob Casey, Jr. in the up-coming primary. Both Casey and PA Governor Ed Rendell announced their support for Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court. Many are concerned about how a woman's right to choose her own medical care might be affected should Alito's nomination be approved by the full Senate. PA Senator Arlen Specter, a self-proclaimed pro-choice Republican, voted to approve Alito's nomination during judiciary commitee hearings.
