Ed Rendell Quotes

I think national issues play into gubernatorial races less than, obviously, in Senate and Congressional races. Much less. They tend to be more decided by personality, leadership qualities and by state or local issues. They still have some effect, no question about it, but not as much as Senate and Congressional races.

I would be lying if I said I was a different person now. I am the same person. I would do it all again.
