Rendell Sort-Of Endorses Santorum

Does Governor Ed Rendell really support Senator Rick Santorum's re-election effort? Well, according to a recent editorial in the Tribune-Review, Rendell spoke his mind about the senator in a recent interview with the Weekly Standard.

"Rick Santorum has proven that he gets the job done. Time and time again he has come through," Rendell said. "I will eventually campaign with Casey. But, no, you won't see me attack Santorum. I work well with him ... . When it comes to Pennsylvania, Santorum delivers."

This is more surprising proof that the Democratic party in Pennsylvania is split on their candidate for Senate. While some on the radical left, like Jack Murtha, Hillary Clinton, and Howard Dean support Bobby Casey Jr., many other pro-choice, anti-gun liberals refuse to support him. At the same time, you have Governor Rendell, a Democrat in a race of his own, simply saying that he will be campaigning "with" Bobby (but certainly not "for"). And in the statements he gave to the Weekly Standard, he is practically endorsing the Senator.

With the latest polls showing Senator Santorum catching up to Bobby Casey Jr., great quotes like this can only help!
