Randall Taylor<br>
The question always is"What is a progessive in Pittsburgh"?<br>
<br>
Let look at some issues in which progressives have been silent about: (1)Pittsburgh has one of the highest rates of poverty for african-americans in the country. (2) The city has repeatedly graduated all white male police and fire classes.

      <![CDATA["@ After being at a Gainey rally and seeing the likes of Merriman-Preston, Payne, Udin, and McKrell all in attendance, any notion I had that individuals could be neatly divided into pro- and anti-mayor camps went completely out the window"<br>
<br>
I hear that; it's very easy to write and talk about this stuff as if the lines are always clear, and I'm probably guilty of doing just that. But to me, what's significant here is not just the question of "who supports the mayor" but "are progressives building networks and learning how to win elections in places outside their traditional base of support"?

      <![CDATA[After being at a Gainey rally and seeing the likes of Merriman-Preston, Payne, Udin, and McKrell all in attendance, any notion I had that individuals could be neatly divided into pro- and anti-mayor camps went completely out the window. On another point you made, I would argue that Lamb and Peduto have considerably overlapping bases of support and that for both of them to run would result in a sure victory for the incumbent.

"In his bid to be the contender taking on Ravenstahl next year, Peduto has at least two rivals..."<br>
<br>
I'm sorry, will there be a pre-primary?
