As we feared but warned against, many of last week's post-World Series win celebrants got a little carried away (Pat Burrell, sadly, among them). Even Chase Utley couldn't act with complete decorum.

Tom Knox is the frontrunner in the 2007 Democratic primary and, according to the most recent Keystone poll, the one with the momentum behind him.

Kudos to NBC 10 for airing a live election special Monday night dealing with the issues and candidates in the Delaware Valley.

WCAU really did their election coverage - pre, during and post - right.
