"Sarah Palin was able to get 1,300 people to show up at the Republican Party of Iowas dinner last month. I can do better than that at this years Jefferson-Jackson dinner," Rendell predicts in a message to drum up interest in the Oct. 16 event, where he is the keynote speaker.
Late Wednesday, Iowa Democrats said they were only 250 tickets from surpassing the turnout for Palin. Rendell said besting the GOP's attendance mark would "send Republicans and tea partiers a message," and then went on to take a swipe at the former vice presidential nominee.
"While Palin has offered nothing but extreme rhetoric and a repackaging of failed Bush-era policies, Democrats have provided real leadership, and our nation is better off because of it. As someone who has served at all levels of government, I can spot a real leader when I see it, and Sarah Palin is anything but that," he wrote...

Ed Rendell is such an idiot..first he goes on and on about how she is irrelevant and stupid, yet he needs his whacko supporters to come to Iowa to “Defeat her” LOL why is he trying to beat her if she is so irrelevant..Poor Mr. Ed, it must suck to have an IQ below cockroach level
Count on Dums to beat an idea to death.

I’ll bring tar if you bring feathers.
I saw Sarah Palin in Dubuque in the last days of the 2008 campaign, and the joint was packed and jumpin.
If Sarah Palin could charge rent for living in these guys heads she’d make Warren Buffett look like a pauper.
Pathetic Rendel is begging Marxist democrats to attend, and Iowa's Republican Dinner Event with Govenor Sarah Palin as their keynote speaker, was a complete sell-out in less than 2 weeks.
ROTFLOLOLOLOL.
I continue to me amazed at how much time the Dems are spending on such a "loser". Hahahahaha.
Rendell knows he can’t fill a room on his own so he uses Sarah. THEY KNOW lol
Rendell is a loser and a cry baby that sees his libtard world coming to an end very soon.
He’s a thug. He has no business even mentioning her name. He’s too much of a lowlife.
Right. Rendell is a typical slimeball, democrat thug used to rigging elections. I can’t stand to look at him. Seztac is going down hard, and deservedly so.
Wouldn’t that be a laugh riot. Rendell running away like a vampire from sunlight.
