PA DUers should support Diamond's (I) entry into race for Governor

[skipos]

but vote for Rendell (D). Diamond (I) takes votes away from Swann (R) according to Rasmussen.

"However, the impact of Diamond's inclusion in the poll is dramatic--the overall poll results switches from a 3-point Swann lead to a 4-point Rendell lead."

I do not live in PA, so please tell me if you think Rasmussen is wrong about this.

1. I thought Rendell was already ahead

Isn't he?

2. Rasmussen tends favor Republicans a bit in their polls (in my opinion)

But I am not someone who dismisses polls I don't agree with. It is better to be safe and ackowledge close races. My google search seems to indicate a close race....
