This says a lot about Gov. Edward G. Rendell.
He is urging Philadelphia voters to reelect Democrat Vincent Fumo to the Pennsylvania Senate despite the fact that Fumo is facing a 139-count federal indictment on corruption charges and is scheduled to go on trial later this year.
"We would be lost in Harrisburg without him because of his skill," Rendell said of Fumo. "He has done great things, and we are lucky to have him."
What's that they say about the company you keep, governor?
Read the full story in today's Philadelphia Inquirer.
Although he is facing several challengers in both the primary and general election, Fumo is favored to win reelection - if he can avoid federal prison.
