Gov. Ed Rendell Friday said the presidential race between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain is "closer than the polls indicate." Urging people to get out and vote in Tuesday's general election, Rendell said Obama does not have a double-digit lead in Pennsylvania and he told voters to take an umbrella and dress warmly to withstand the weather.

"Stay in that line and make sure you vote," Rendell told about 50 people at Wilkes University. "I've seen polls that have the race as close as four points."
Rendell also said the addition of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket has "enthused" the campaign. "She has drawn thousands of people to every event she has appeared at," Rendell said. Read the whole story in Saturday's The Times Leader.

Uh oh. Rendell showing the GOP his hand. Admitting Sarah has been a positive. When he says he has seen polls showing the race as close as four points, I wonder if he secretly means +4 for McCain. That’s how liberals lie, you know.

Rendell is working hard on turning out the double dipping union guys in PA. Note - Rendell does not lay a hand on Governor Palin because it will hurt Obama.

Has Rendell gone “rogue”? I thought Gov. Palin was a drag on the ticket?

I thought Obama had a lock on all fifty states or is it fifty-eight?
I would think, despite Rendell's angst, Obama will carry Pennsylvania.

Rendell also said the addition of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket has "enthused" the campaign. "She has drawn thousands of people to every event she has appeared at," But the pundits, even the Fox pundits, say Sarah has ruined the Republican Party... Gee-whiz!

If Fast Eddie says Obama is in trouble in PA, he's right. The Philly ghetto will go O. The suburbs around the city and across the Western arc of PA should go McCain.

To: Fred
well *snort*, all we have heard the last week was that Sarah was a drag on the campaign. *snicker* Smart people always knew that was a lie. That is why we like Rendell once in a while. *snicker, snort*

(Is there any good idea out there that Obama doesn't lay claim to anymore?)
To: Thane_Banquo
Ha! I read that, too, and thought it interesting that he doesn’t say that polls have shown Obama +4. Maybe I’m over-analyzing, but that jumped out right away.
