Somewhat familiar with PA politics, I can tell you that Rendell was by far the worst governor that PA has had in modern times. He is in the image of Rahm of Chicago. The only folks who liked him were all those who received patronage from him AND Philadelphia. Like Obama, Rendell didn’t know the meaning of compromise. The man failed to pass a budget each and every year of his 8 years as governor; a record that will likely never be broken. He NEVER signed a budget on time. PA’s supreme court needed to set him straight over this and other areas where he overstepped his bounds. He brought all his Philly cronies or should I say crooks to Harrisburg. Rendell was a demoncrap governor. I think that about sums it up.
