Rendell: Tea Party candidates will be easier to beat in November elections

Rendell said that voters weren't against government spending, but just wanted "effective government" that invested in the wisest way possible.

Sorry, Ed. No cigar.

[AmishDude]

Djou you think so Mr. Rendell? Djou you think so?

[FlingWingFlyer]

It does help when the takers outnumber the givers by a 2 to 1 margin in the district. Sorry Eddie, you’re full of it. That district is not the norm in America.

[Kenny]

So what are they really saying, that they didn’t actually expect to win any races? They won one in a solidly Dem district and they’re acting like they won it from a district that’s gone Republican for decades.

The truth is Fast Eddy, you might win one here and there. If Murtha’s seat indicates anything it’s that the Dems are going to have to have 2:1 majorities and run as conservatives to even win the occasional seat.

[stevio]

Although Murtha’s old seat is disheartening. The dem primary that ousted specter brought out more dems than GOPers.

[bmwcyle]

Fast Eddie is just blowing smoke.

[b4its2late]

Rendell is living a fantasy.

[mewzilla]

Hey, Fast Eddie, PA got a budget yet...?

[THX 1138]

Good God, I’ll be glad when that slob Fast Eddie is gone...

[Mr. Wright]

This is the same Ed Rendell who put money in the transportation budget under the assumption the Feds
would approve the tolling of I-80. Guess what, Feds
denied the request - mucho $$$$$ now have to be
acquired some other way. So much for Fast Eddies
assumptions

[chris_bdba]

Just keep telling yourselves that Eddie! Sounds more like a wish than a fact!

[AGreatPer]

Thankfully Rendell is going away to a cushy job somewhere.

Word around here is he might take a full time sports talk job in Philly.

[pillut48]

Crazy Eddie's losing it. IF he ever had 'it' (sanity) in the first place! LOL. ;-)

[GOPJ]

If that were really true, he'd keep his mouth shut about it. Why warn us? I suspect Tea Party candidates will do just fine...

[pistolpetestoys]

Hey,Eddie:the whole country ain’t Philly.Now please shut up and go away.

[linn37]

Old eddy was smart. He packaged the primary and the special election into one day of voting. It gave them the edge on who showed up to vote.

[DarthVader]

Eddie its comments like this which is going to make beating you and your whole decadent cabal even the more sweet.

[AmishDude]

Do you remember his first year in office when he vetoed his own budget?

[ArchAngel1983]

Good one Fast Eddie! So is PA in the running for the ‘what state will go bankrupt first race’? Although there’s stiff competition with CA & NY I’ll bet yer a contender.

[RobbyS]

The truth is Fast Eddy, you might win one here and there. If Murtha’s seat indicates anything it’s that the Dems are going to have to have 2:1 majorities and run as conservatives to even win the occasional seat.

. The pubbies are also going to have to choose the right candidates. Probably the guy who ran a close race against Murtha in '08 should have been given another shot.
