Today’s Daily News reports that the historic lead of Mayoral candidate Michael Nutter over what’s-his-name may lead to low voter turnout and actually cause problems for a number of Dems seeking statewide office and needing large turnout.

From Dave Davies report:

Nutter leads Republican mayoral hopeful Al Taubenberger 74 percent to 8 percent among registered voters, and 83 percent to 8 percent among likely voters. . . .
An even-less-competitive mayoral race this year has resulted in little TV advertising, which further depresses voter interest and could spell trouble for statewide Democratic judicial candidates who want a robust turnout in Pennsylvania's strongest base of Democratic voters.

"There's no doubt about it, there's a real likelihood of a low turnout in the city, which could affect judicial races," Madonna said.
