He's now 72; he first ran for Mayor in 1991. If he's still the best that the Philly GOP can offer, yikes.

Why would any single republican ever waste time running in Philly, when they could simply run for the state house or senate, or in a suburban county, where they stand a good shot at being elected?

They're not winning for state legislature in the city other than the one rep seat in the NE they already have. So carpetbagging to the exurbs and suburbs, I guess.
