Weirdest campaign stop ever? Only in Philadelphia.

Posted: Laura Goldman and PA2010.com blogger Staff

We figured Halloween should bring out the best of the race for Governor.

Last night, Governor Rendell and Candidate Dan Onorato stopped at
Henry David’s Halloween Party. This party, which has been a
Philadelphia tradition since 1968, ends the night with a contest for
best transgendered male and female costume. Rendell and Onorato shook
hands and patiently posed for pictures with nearly all of the 2000
mostly gay attendees.

For the night at least, Rendell and Onorato got a free pass for
appearing with serial killers, pirates gangsters, hookers, and Playboy
bunnies. They had the pleasure of greeting a male Marie Antionette, a
new super hero Robocock, and the blue Navis from Avatar.
Onorato said, “I am crisscrossing the state for the last two days. It
all depends on turnout now.” When I asked Rendell what he does to
stimulate voter turnout, he answered, “We are here, aren’t we?”

Onorato had such a good time that he promised to come back next year.
Corbett, for sure, would never be caught dead at the party.

    Onorato should come as the guy from Road Warrior — put on some leather, wear a spiked collar and hand the leash to Rendell.

    We failed to mention that a Big$$$ Thank you is in order to the Onorato Campaign for providing us with a record amount of money in the primary and the general.We took his money and did not deliver for him in Philadelphia, as a payback for fucking with Saidel. We also made money with Corbett and worked on his behalf. So Danny Boy take Flowbee Cocksucker Cocklin, his dirty, lying wife qho dresses like a Mormon in the dark, get a couple of sandwiches at almost famous (like you) Primanti Brothers at have a threesome at the Cocklin Junk Barn, all junk all the time. Your seat is in the works Cocklin!!!!

    Maybe Republicans should start attending some of these parties…then they might not be the miserable tightwads they normally are.
