Rendell predicts a Clinton win, but...

Gar Joseph reports:

Gov. Rendell was at the Famous deli for the usual election-day power lunch, and sounding positive about his candidate's chances -- but more positive if all of the state's counties vote.

The guv said that, if the turnout is even through the state, Clinton will win by 6 to 10 points.

If turnout is heaviest in the Philly burbs, Clinton wins by 4 to 6 points, Rendell said.

He was one of many boldfaced names at the traditional gathering, which also included State Sen. Tony Williams, Register of Wills Ronald Donatucci, District Attorney Lynne Abraham and State Rep. Bill Keller.

And who wasn't there? The State Senator who is likely to see his replacement elected today.

Vince Fumo and his cronies were down on Passyunk Avenue, at the Paradiso.

It still stuns me that from O's misrepresentation that he was the only Sen against the war of the candidates running (though his stance against the war came from the Illinois minor leagues ..this being his first big lie) to Rezko to Rev HatesoMuch to Ayers, the "neighbor", people still vote for this charlatan. If he becomes Pres., all I can say is we deserve him. Don't blame me.

Hillary promised to obliterate Iran last night and again this morning, I guess her vote to go to war with Iraq wasn't enough for her.

If the Flyers win tonight by even just 1 goal, they win their series. If Hillary wins tonight by 15%, it won't make ANY DIFFERENCE, becuase her series was over before she lost TEXAS, which even Bill said she had to win to even have a shot. This extended period of denial just helps McCain.
