Thomas Mifflin
I have to quibble with the designation of Thomas Mifflin as a Federalist. He certainly was at odds with the Washington administration from about 1792 onwards; his opponent in 1790 was Arthur St Clair, who was an arch-Federalist and was the preferred candidate of a number of leading Philadelphia Federalists. Moreover, although Mifflin supported the ratification of the Federal Constitution, the Federalist/Anti-Federalist division in the ratification debate was not a party split; in Pennsylvanian politics, Mifflin was a Constitutionalist (whose supporters largely opposed ratification of the constitution.)
Democratic-Republican isn't an ideal designation, either, because the party grows somewhat and only really has a "Republican designation" in 1793/4, and even then took a while to become institutionalised, even in Pennsylvania. I suggest either making Mifflin unassigned, or "Anti-Administration", which is used to describe Congressmen elsewhere.

No-one has come back to me on this one; I have edited the list to give Mifflin no party affiliation. I will add a further note in due course if no-one else says anything.

Mark Single
I have to question whether or not Mark Single should be included on this list.
Single was only acting governor for a few months. Unlike with Ridge, Casey never really resigned. He just temporarily stepped down due to health issues.
The list of governors on the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission does not include Single. Check their list of past governors at http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/governors/overview.asp?secid=31
I would think that would be a good argument for not including him here.

- Because no one responded to my post on the discussion page, I removed Single from the list of governors. I made note of Single serving as acting governor with Casey in the same way that the List of Governors of Maryland page notes that Blair Lee III served as acting governor for Marvin Mandel. Please notice that the Maryland Governors list does not include Lee, even though he served as acting governor of Maryland for a longer period of time than Single served as acting governor of Pennsylvania. Also take note of the fact that the Pennsylvania Democratic Party webpage does not include Single on its own list of former Democratic governors. For proof of this, go to: http://www.padems.com/index1024.html, click on "features" and then look at their list of former governors. WayneNight 20:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Colonial Governors
How come there is not a section on Colonial Governors (and their deputies)? Are they not Governors of Pennsylvania? For example: William Penn and one of his deputies Samuel Carpenter How did this get missed? Having information going back to the founding of Pennsylvania is required for this article.
