City GOP: Alive but not kicking.
Byline: Dave Davies
Oct. 29--LATE LAST YEAR, recalls Democratic State Rep. Dwight Evans, Republican U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter invited him to a meeting at Specter's home.
"He asked me to run for mayor, as a Republican," Evans said.
Asked about the meeting, Specter said, "That's true. I also asked Mike Nutter and Lynne Abraham."
Specter was one of many Philadelphia Republican leaders hoping to find a candidate with more political heft than amiable Al Taubenberger, who got the nomination by default and is now waging the GOP's least-competitive mayoral campaign in more than 50 years.
Taubenberger remains in single digits in the Keystone Poll, and his campaign is such a tiny affair that the contact number on press releases is the candidate's cell phone.
But the Philadelphia Republican Party's misfortunes don't end there.
