SOMEONE PLEASE GET ED RENDELL OFF TV!
Democrats seriously need to get that discouraging depressing republican butt kissing so called "Democrat" Off TV NOW! He is of no use to us. none! Everytime I see his face he's spouting bull. I couldn't believe my ears when he went on MSNBC just now & told Tameron Hall that Romney had momentum. Seriously?? Not to mention the many times he's been on Chris Matthews touting doom & gloom for Obama! I mean really who's side is he on? Is he auditioning for republican idol? Really you guys If democrats don't get his arse off TV now...I'm gonna go insane! GET HIM OFF!

he's had some good spots of the dozens I've seen, but most of the time, I'm thinking, please get him away from the camera. there's much better out there in the Dem pool of surrogates.

I can't figure it out, but I sort of get the willies from him. Oh well. No use losing sleep over it--I'll probably never meet him!
Ed's ears must be burning today. 
He, Harold Ford, Jr., Halperin, and of course, Scar, are at least 5 reasons why that show is just abominable.
So whenever I see Rendell on any show, it conjurs up visions and memories of that good ol' boys' club show and its hacks.
opposition has to do to gain an advantage against YOUR OWN side! It's kind of like a trick question and I'm surprised that anybody with any sense would answer it. The difference with him is that it just rolls right out of his mouth, and it seems that of all the surrogates there are, they ALWAYS ask him or he's ALWAYS there when it gets asked.
EXAMPLE:
"Gov. Rendell, just what exactly will the Republicans have to do now to make up for the momentum they lost last week, and just how would they be able to regain that lead that they had over your party this time last month?" etc. 
1. First of all, it is messed up that this is a routine question for all the talking heads to be asking. But....
2. I don't remember a spokesperson from either side calling them on this. If anybody ever decides to do a little critical thinking and dares to reply, "I can't even believe you would think of asking a question like that. So, of course, I'm not about to answer that on a television show - to give away strategy for the other side? You've got to be kidding - what kind of fool do you take me for?"
Has anybody else ever noticed this question, and how the party reps. usually plunge right ahead into an answer without questioning whether that's a good idea or not? Whenever I hear that question, no matter which party, I listen to it with incredulity and then feel like it's all just a game - like politics doesn't matter! It's like asking Coca-Cola spokespersons to offer suggestions to Pepsi on how they can gain an edge on the sales of Coke! It's preposterous if you think about it!
When I saw and read this thread, it made me imagine that he must have been the first Dem guest spokesman who was asked this ridiculous question...that kind of question reminds me of Ed Rendell...and show hosts have been asking it ever since.
