What Digby said. It’s hard not to like Ed Rendell, but sometimes he’s just an idiot.

But not Specter.
How about that guy Murphy?
I’ll take any Democratic officeholder over Matthews. Murphy is the best of the bunch being rumored so far.
I don’t find it hard not to like him. He’s a doofus.
yeah, but he’s an adorable doofus.
Ed’s starting to wind down a little, how old is he anyway 60 something. And Midge, OMG. Anyway, no parachuting ego maniac journalist-republicans disguising as democrats for our senate seat. At least Specter is somewhat honest about what a tool he is.
Murphy would be ok, better than some. ( Note, I volunteered for him ) He would just join the Byah version of the blue dogs though. I think Swartz might actually be better though, although not as charismatic.
The best thing for Dems in PA is for Toomey to actually win this time.
The last time 2004 when they ran in the R primary there were a number of important voter provison that got shot down because Dems didn’t turn out in Bucks at all. Hopefully we won’t have any important questions on the primary ballot or at least the Dems will have a spirited primary of their own.
Murphy isn’t much of a Blue Dog. He gave me every voted I really wanted except one. FISA. To me, that was a huge vote. But I’ll take Murphy’s brand of Blue Dog over Schwartz’s brand of New Democrat.
What is a “New Democrat.” Seems like a pretty odd ideology name. I read the term and it is “bad” but what does it stand for, DLC? But, for that matter so is “Progressive” considering the terms history.
I agree with your point of Murph’s votes. I talked to him once about Barrow BlueDog-G. He backed Obama’s add for him and status quo politics of re-electing Dino’s. ( Known quantity was the term given to me )
I probably won’t agree with everything any of these jokers do. FISA really burned my bridge, right after, I sent the Murphy campaign a response to a contribution solicitation with – Might as well get a Republican with votes like that, will be cheaper for my wallet.
Not to worry, I came around and worked like mad for him and BO. Just hope it pay’s off for the greater good.

Got it. New Democrat is republican lite. Bad
