Philly’s Next Reality Star U.S. Rep. Bob Brady at Famous Fourth Street Deli on Election Day 2012

I’ve been reading for years about the famed political luncheons at the Famous Fourth Street Deli in South Philly on on Primary and Election Day. I couldn’t wait to go this year, and wow did it deliver. The political power in the room was palpable.
When I arrived many politicians in office and out of office took part in the traditional lunch.
Hungry to talk shop about the turn out so far, and for the gigantic sandwiches that the Fourth Street Deli offers.
In the front row tables, these were the seats most visible as people came through the doors, were former DA Lynn Abraham and Fox 29’s Good Day Philadelphia political commentator Eleanor Dezzi
Councilwomen Jannie Blackwell came in with her posse and her trademark sunglasses on

The buzz was that Congressman Bob Brady would be coming in with a camera crew, either to do a documentary one person told me, or a reality show as a sitting politician told me. Look for Register of Wills Ron Donatucci to come in as they were driving together.

I was wondering why Jonathan Saidel was in such a jovial mood today, as he can be a bit somber and private, he was mike’d for the reality/documentary for Bob Brady.
