Former Senate candidate Hoeffel comments on 2010 race.

[True Democrat]

Ravenstahl turns 30 in February of 2008, so I guess if the race is split between a bunch of Eastern Dems, he could jump in, but I really doubt it.

He's gunning for Onorato's job when he becomes Governor (and when the city and county are combined).

Onorato won't be winning, my friend. 

For some reason, I don't see Ravenstahl running statewide.

He has a serious problem with being in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing (sometimes on purpose).

Basically, he likes to attend different evengs sponsored by UPMC and other companies using mayoral money (or something like that, I can't remember exactly), which gets him into a bit of trouble.

Oh, I know all about it. I didn't see that stuff holding him back though. He overcame it as Mayor. Then again, maybe statewide voters wouldn't be as forgiving.

He overcame it to win, which isn't hard for a Democrat in Pittsburgh.  DeSantis did get the highest % for a Republican since in the 60s in last year's election, and he even got the endorsement of the Post-Gazette, which I thought was very impressive.
