I continue to not believe we elected this guy Governor of Pennsylvania. I blame suburban voters who think he was a great Mayor of Philadelphia, so he’d surely make a great governor! He was a lucky mayor of Philadelphia. The city, like most other cities, benefited from the .com boom and the nationwide drop in crime in the 90s. But it benefitted to a lesser degree than most other cities, and when the boom turned to bust, Philadelphia’s problems, which Rendell didn’t really fix, came roaring right back, falling on the feet of a corrupt and ineffectual John Street. Now it’s Mike Nutter’s mess, and while I think he’ll certainly be less corrupt than John Street, the jury’s still out on the ineffectual part.

“I blame suburban voters” — That’s ok, out here in the forgotten part of the state, we blame everyone east of the Allehenies
Out least out here we voted for a real supporter of the 2nd Amend (who also happened to be of color) during the last PA election
