I'm not sure that Nutter brings anything machine wise to the table. He beat Fattah, who was the machine candidate in his run for mayor. He's popular but new, and I'd wager that he doesn't have the gravitas with the block captains and ward leaders in the African American neighborhoods to shift them to Hillary by himself.
He seems like a good mayor (definite relief from the last clown). I'll be happy when the primary is over and he can stop speaking from the Mark Penn playbook (same goes for Rendell).
Of course if the SDs announced today indicate a real wave and there are others that are moving towards Obama and Hillary has the money troubles that it appears she has, it might not matter anyway.
