I predict a Democratic sweep in SE PA, thanks to Rendell's coat-tails.

Unfortunately, one guy at the Inky and Mike Fisher have it right (and I've been saying it longer than they have) -- quickly-passed big tax increases and a big sucking sound as all the money goes into the bottomless pit of Philadelphia's problems. The promised property tax relief will, of course, never materialize (except maybe for Philadelphia residents).

*sigh*. Ed Rendell seems like an OK guy for a politician, but I remember the last popular big-city mayor who became governor of the state I lived in: William Donald Schaefer.
