1. I suppose it is possible for everyone in Philly to like Rendell

but I could hardly stand him. From the day he became governor, and I had my first close look at him, I was appalled at most of his wild ideas and his demeanor which was crude. Also, since I live on the western side of the state, I swear that he didn't realize that we were part of the state. He totally ignored us during his whole governorship. I had just moved back to PA and could not believe that this is what passes as a Democrat. From many of his actions and ideas, I thought he was a Republican. But he was labelled a "liberal".

But I was a huge Casey fan.

Since many of his proposals sounded like Republican/wealthy elite sorts of schemes, I am not the least bit surprised that he is mixed up with fixthedebt.org. Never the less, I am disapppointed. I hate to see anyone who calls themself a Democrat go to the dark side.
