Here is a little tidbit. The guy is a creep..
It was Mayor Street's reelection campaign in 2003 against Republican challenger Sam Katz where Philadelphia voters were exposed to one of the most blatant examples of Axelrod's race-baiting campaign tactics. Tigre Hill's 2003 documentary The Shame of the City chronicled Axelrod and his fellow smear merchants as they intentionally fanned racial tensions and ginned-up suspicion of Republicans - anything to get Street reelected.
Twenty-seven days before the election, an FBI bug was discovered in Mayor Street's office. Street blamed Katz, and demonized the federal investigation as a Republican witch-hunt and racist plot. Of course no such evidence was ever produced. That wasn't their concern.

Let's not forget what Axelrod had his buddies at the Chicago Tribune (Axelrod worked there ) do to Jack Ryan when he was running against Obama for that Senate seat back in 2004.
