Lynne Abraham, who steps down today after nearly two decades as Philadelphia’s top prosecutor, told Larry Kane in an interview for Comcast Network that she intends to run for office again.

“I want to thank the people of Philadelphia for giving me this great gift,” Abraham said in the Dec. 9 interview. “It’s like a star, came right out of the meteoric heavens and landed right in my hand and that gift, that star was the trust of the people of the city of Philadelphia.

“I’ve always tried to maitain that trust, never saying what they wanted to hear because it would make them feel better, but they gave me the license and the leeway to tell the truth, to serve them well and to give me the opportunity to serve over and over again…And in the future, I believe they’ll give a chance to serve again.”

Are you running for something? Kane asked.

“Yes, I certainly am,” Abraham replied.

You are?

“I am.”

Wow. You won’t tell us what it is?

“Nope, stay tuned.”

Could it be state attorney general? Democrats have never won the post since it was made an elected position in 1980, and the office will be open this year as incumbent Republican Tom Corbett runs for governor.
