Michael Powell got my vote over Murdoch. Because of his deregulation attempts as FCC head.

I'm not from Pennsylvania, and I don't know how much of an effect Gov. Rendell's actions regarding the internet service actually had on people, but it seems pretty piddling compared to the other choices. I mean, politicians make unpopular decisions that benefit corporations at the expense of regular people on a daily basis, this doesn't seem that special.
My guess is that it's the worst thing they could find committed by a Democrat, and they didn't want to seem like they were unfairly heaping criticism on Republicans.

i live in PA, and i voted for rendell only because he sucks. Major tax hikes for residents, but HUGE tax cuts for verizon and comcast, and our expense. Oh, and don't get me started on the philadelphia public transit system, its a mess and he refuses to do much at all about it.
