Candidates in Philly need to know those who vote in the primary are on the fringe of the voting populace. They are the group that pays attention the most and will catch these erratic shifts. You can't win a primary hoping for the general ignorance of voters.

Especially with the field as crowded as it is right now. Primary voters pay attention, and right now, they have a lot of options.

Brown isn’t bringing anything to the table that’s so unique or special that any primary voter has to look far to find a suitable replacement for whatever it is that they maybe liked about him.

However you can count on winning with a very thin percentage win since we don't have ranked choice voting, and the more people on the ballot the fewer voters you actually need to win a majority.
