Phila. Front Page News Endorsement of
Seth Williams - Williams Wins Dem D.A. Nomination:

Conventional wisdom suggested that Seth Williams was the favorite going in to the Democratic primary, but with no public polls it really seemed like anyone’s race earlier this evening. That feeling was reinforced when Daniel McCaffery (man with the TV $$$ ads) led in the election returns for more than hour. Also, I kept wondering if Dan McElhatton’s recent endorsements by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and The Philadelphia Daily News were going to translate into votes. But Seth Williams managed to motivate his supporters into action and to the polls.

We just caught the victorious Seth Williams, who won tonight's Democratic primary election for District Attorney, on Action News on 6ABC.

"Philadelphians have chosen hope over fear," Williams said. He added that the race had been tough, referring to the aggressive campaigning by Dan McCaffery. "It was very difficult for my family to have someone spend 500,000 to attack us."
