More ADB on the Pittsburgh Democrats

ADB has more thoughtful analysis of the Democratic mayoral primary (and ADB also has lots more pretty pictures). Together with the dialogue in the comments, it's better and more detailed political analysis than you'll find in any other local media, even if you disagree with ADB.

Some questions:

Is it automatically the case that we'll see Lamb and Peduto in the mayor's race next time around?

If money is ultimately the key -- and I think it is -- then it strikes me that the key task for Peduto, Lamb, or whoever goes up against the Old Guard (OG) is to find new money. The existing money is not going to come their way. Where does that new money come from?

Is there any effective way for the non-OG factions to build bridges to one another?
