Rendell: ‘There’s no reason to panic’

Rendell: ‘There’s no reason to panic’

As Democrats confront a wave of retirements and candidate exits, Gov. Ed Rendell has some words of advice for his party.

In an interview with The New York Times, Rendell, a former head of the Democratic National Committee, acknowledged the obstacles ahead, but advised against panic.

We should be concerned, and we should develop our plans and our policies and the programs we are going to push for with an eye to 2010,” Rendell said. “But there’s no reason to panic.”

    Fair or not, Governor Rendell and his supporters will be perceived as having been part of the problem, not part of the solution. Nonpartisan observers understand that 2010 will be toxic for Democrats in PA. A 40% increase in state spending over the last eight years, high taxes, a dead economy and 500,000 Pennsylvanians out of work. Not to mention the low approval ratings of the DC Democrats. Despite over a million more Democratic voters in PA, the GOP is poised to win big in state and federal elections. Rendell and his allies should indeed “panic.”

    On the lighter side, hasn’t Rendell lost a bunch of weight recently? Is this a “before” photo?

    Lee-
    Maybe his weight is proportional to his approval. :-)
