Liberal columnist: Democrat Tom Wolf is a lightweight

Karen Heller bleeds liberal blue, but the Philadelphia Inquirer columnist questions Democratic front-runner Tom Wolf's qualifications for Pennsylvania governor.

From her latest column:
After two meetings with Wolf and watching him in candidate forums, I'm
not convinced that running a cabinet company with 250 employees and
serving a couple of years as revenue secretary (largely a collection and
enforcement agency) are qualifications enough for the job.


It's a fallacy that being an owner and boss, answerable to a few
people and concerned with profit and loss, is adequate training for the
state's top policy job. You need to be an effective negotiator and
politician, hire a terrific staff, and manage well.


Wolf seems a nice and thoughtful man, but, as a former boss often remarked, "Nice is not enough."

But
a good candidate does not necessarily make a good governor. After two

Nice guy, but is that enough to be governor?
