Questions of Rendell

[Undertoad]

Not shady at all, especially in comparison to every Philadelphia mayorship before and since. And with the fact that he had to push out some deeply powerful unions in order to privatize, you'd think it would have been much, much worse.

Rendell's one of the finer pols going. Casey Jr. (his opponent for the D governors primary here) is an empty suit whose reign as Auditor General was marked by Nothing Much. The only time he ever got big press was in criticizing the Philadelphia shipyard deal -- a spit at then-Gov. Tom Ridge and future opponent Rendell. But he criticized it two years after the hands were shook, so it was meaningless and totally political.

I urge you to vote Rendell if you have the opportunity.
