	Joe Hoeffel's uphill battle (phillyBurbs.com) \| Courier Times
		Joe Hoeffel had been so amiable, so forthcoming through 45 minutes of an interview about his bid to become Pennsylvania's next U.S. senator that when the flash of exasperation came, it was jarring.

	Hoeffel bows to Rendell’s request (phillyBurbs.com) \| Courier Times
		Hoeffel said he was running for lieutenant governor to support Rendell’s policies, but clearly the office might have later served as a steppingstone to the governor’s mansion.
