In campaign stops around the state, the leading candidates for governor, Democrat Ed Rendell and Republican Mike Fisher, have been touting their plans to stimulate Pennsylvania's economy.

And whichever man wins Nov. 5, the state will have for the next four years a governor who is determined to cut at least some business taxes, create a well-trained work force, boost agriculture and tourism, encourage the development of high-tech industries, and ensure that Pennsylvania's smaller cities and towns aren't left out of the next economic boom.

Rendell is dngerous. He's a gun-grabber through and through. Has been caught outright in lies on the campaign trail; (He says he wont mess with gun rights, then turns right around after leaving the podium and tells an activist that he's only "saying that, but once he get's in office, they can really get to work"). He's said he will raise taxes while at the same time saying he will cut property taxes. PA will be in big trouble should Rendell take the reigns.
