Post-Gazette gets it right!
I'm glad to see the Post-Gazette picking up the slack for the AP-
Chuck Pennacchio, a Philadelphia college professor, said yesterday that he would seek the nomination. And with more than a year to go before the filing deadline in the race, there is plenty of time for other candidates to emerge, although Rendell and Rep. T.J. Rooney, the state party chairman, can be expected to try to quash any such effort. More liberal Democrats on social issues, including activists strongly in favor of abortion rights, pose the clearest potential source of intraparty opposition for Casey.
It's just not going to be that simple for Casey/Rendell/Rooney. You can't ignore people and make decisions in the backroom. Politics is changing, and I feel sorry for those politicians in my party (and my state!) that can't see that. They certainly don't see Chuck Pennacchio. But he's sneaking up from behind.
