Kenyatta Johnson is Ori Feibush?
The mayor’s race may be a slow-burning development, but that’s not the case with the bid for the 2nd district council seat between incumbent councilman Kenyatta Johnson and Point Breeze developer Ori Feibush. A new Twitter account dedicated to the Kenyatta-vs.-Ori race tweeted a link this morning that says it all:

Click on www.kenyattajohnson.com and see for yourself. Feibush has bought and currently uses the domain name kenyattajohnson.com to redirect browsers to his own campaign page. According to a global domain handling website, the address was purchased in November 2013, and will expire in November 2015 just after the elections. Also check out kenyattajohnson.org and kenyattajohnson.net. Both redirect to www.orifeibush.com, replete with its down-to-the-second countdown until the Democratic primaries.
Incumbent council members flanked Kenyatta in a show of support to help him secure his seat. Over the weekend, Johnson kicked off his re-election campaign in full force, saying that that the upcoming election was important “...not just for me and not just for the Second District, but for all of Philadelphia.”
But if the the premeditated domain-grab indicates anything, it’s that Feibush isn’t going down without a fight.
The Kenyatta-Vs.-Ori Twitter account followed up later with an open question regarding the ethics of purchasing your competition’s domain name:
