Yesterday, in a speech to the AFL-CIO, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton endeared herself to the citizens of Philadelphia by comparing herself to Philly’s Phavorite Phictional Phrized Phighter, Rocky Balboa:

Who's going to best clean up our national mess? Phillyist can't decide. That's why we need you to endorse a candidate for us. Sure, on April 22nd you get to pull a lever, but only in Phillyist's People's Choice Endorsement do you get to tell the world why you made that decision. Democrats—will it be Hillary or Obama? Republicans—how are you feeling about McCain? Select your nominee in the poll below, then leave a comment to explain why your candidate deserves the golden ticket.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

Phillyist has a confession to make: We have never made it through James Joyce's Ulysses. Not even a little. We've tried. Oh, how we've tried. But though we've failed more times than we'd like to admit, we console ourselves that those with better minds have thrown their hands up in disgust and screamed, "Okay I get it!

Last night was obviously good for Pennsylvania Democrats, but precisely how good remains to be seen. They can claim already Rick Santorum's Senate seat, at least three--and maybe four--Congressional seats, and five state House seats. Locally, Democrat Patrick Murphy seems likely to pick up Pennsylvania's Eighth District with a razor-thin lead over Mike Fitzpatrick, but Fitzpatrick has yet to concede. In the Seventh District, Curt Weldon lost as expected to Vice Adm. Joe Sestak, putting an end to the career of a man listed in Rolling Stone as one of the worst members of Congress. Rep. Jim Gerlach looks to hold onto the Sixth District, although Phillyist notes that his lead has shrunk consistently since first being elected in 2002. We can only assume that a stiff breeze will suffice to knock him out of Congress in 2008.

Things are getting interesting in mid-term election news. Concerned that moderate Republicans have no options in the choice for Senator, a dark horse has emerged to challenge Senator Rick Santorum in the primary election.

We're number one! We're number one! For election fraud, anyway.
