In Class Question 11

What does the Governor mean when he discusses "political courage"? Why do we need "political courage" in Harrisburg to address the important issues discussed today?

He means speaking what needs to be done even if he doesn't win the election because of it. We need political courage so that stuff will get done to fix the economy and the problems we face.

Hes showing courage because what he says could have an effect on his election. we need courage to do what is necessary to save our economy and enviroment from running dry. It wont be easy, but its what needs to be done.

He means that we need someone to stand up for what they think and to get things done. We need this so that we can actually have someone who will do what they say and do it quickly and efficiently.

Saying what needs to be done even if it doesn't benefit himself but will benefit the citizens. we need this courage so that things will actually be done and not just put under the back burner.

Rendell is encouraging people to strive to get things done with our economic problems. If he doesnt win the election, he's made people aware of these problems.

what rendell is talking about is that we need someone who isn't afraid to do something that people don't want him to do. We need someone who does something not because we want it done, but 'cause we NEED it to be done.

He means that people need to say what is important to get accomplished with disregard to their popularity in the election. We need this courage to save our economy and fix problems we have.
