Phila. Inquirer Profile of Tom Wolf

http://mobile.philly.com/news/politics/?wss=%2Fphilly%2Fnews%2Fpolitics&id=258717891&

Excerpt:

"After Wolf sold the business, Ed Rendell needed a revenue secretary. "He took the ball and ran with it," the former governor said, crediting Wolf with increases in the collection rate and in revenue from the state lottery.

"The most amazing to me is that Tom Wolf is just as you see him in the ads," said Rendell, who is neutral in the race. "There's no spin about him, no guile. He is as honest a guy as I have met in politics."

The political playbook says that when you're attacked, you respond in kind - an eye for an eye, at least. Wolf has held his fire. In part, that may reflect polling evidence that he has not lost much ground, but he also said he had found the last couple of weeks distasteful."

Tom Wolf was not my choice, but I have to say that he seems to be the one with class.
