GOP looking for a viable mayoral run

Highly sourced rumors have it that the Philadelphia Republicans are courting Democratic union boss John Dougherty for a possible mayoral run on their ticket. They must think Sam Katz won't hold up against the well-connected stable of Democratic frontronners. Seems unlikely that Doc will lean their way, being pretty far up the party hierarchy, but it does make one think of Rizzo days... (and hey, isn't Rizzo Jr. a Republican already? heh.)
