Rendell Wants Candidates To Be "Factual"

Ed Rendell confirms he will play an active role in next year's gubernatorial selection process.

Rendell, who turns 66 on Jan. 5, also made clear that he expects to be involved in the gubernatorial campaign.

He said he plans to send a letter to all gubernatorial candidates, offering to provide background briefings on the intricacies of the state budget and any issues in which they are interested.

"I hope they'll avail themselves of it," he said. If they make factual errors about the administration on the campaign trail, "I will correct them, Democrats and Republicans alike."

Who the heck is going to correct Rendell's factual errors? What a pompous ass statement.
