Hillary Clinton stumps for Rendell in Philadelphia suburbs
NARBERTH, Pa. -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton threw her political muscle and famous name into the Pennsylvania governor's race on Saturday, urging women voters to help re-elect Gov. Ed Rendell so he can continue to improve health care, education and energy policy in the state.
Clinton, D-N.Y., spoke to more than 500 supporters packed into an auditorium at Narberth Borough Hall, in the heart of the Philadelphia suburbs that were crucial to Rendell's 2002 election victory. The former first lady told the cheering crowd at the "Women for Rendell" event that female voters need to support the governor when he faces Republican challenger Lynn Swann in the November election. "I see someone who is standing up to defend the rights of women and minorities and others that have been stripped away by this (presidential) administration," Clinton said of Rendell. "He has forged ahead, as is his trademark."
