Fisher was a weak candidate but he got my vote. Rendell's ability to screw things up will be minimized by the Senate and House being Republican.

Also, on local matters he has little credibility, due to the Philly schools being taken over by the state.

Now all we need are for more conservative Republicans to get elected.

Mine too. Unfortunately, Fisher did little to differentiate himself from Rendell (abortion being a notable exception). Granted he proposed to spend my money on different initiatives, but he would've given my money to other people nonetheless.

What it came down to was a race decided on personality. And there's no disputing Rendell's charisma.
