The day after her fainting episode—not the best outcome for your first televised debate, mayoral and otherwise—an upbeat Lynne Abraham went about campaigning, the Inquirer reported.

“Last night, I fell gracefully, ” she told a gym filled with high school students. “Today, I’m standing forcefully.”
“I never ate or drank anything yesterday, and that is what happened, ” she explained.
