What the hell is wrong with Rendell's brain? Why is he on Meet The Press TOUTING the MittTwit???

Good Christ, is there something wrong with your former gov's mind? He went on Meet The Press today and said "Romney was a good governor." He was giving him advice on how to IMPROVE his campaign. He was talking about what a great debater he was and that he would get a "huge bump" from it.

RobMe was a ROTTEN governor who ended his term running so bad in the polls he would not run for re-election. And Rendell said next to nothing about great Obama is.

For Christ sake, is Rendell a Democrat or a RePUKElican????

1. It is called raising the bar

So if there is not a "huge bump" then Mitt will be seen to have lost.

2. Raising expectations for the other side makes the reality of the fall seem much further.

Rendell is playing the game.

3. I get that part, but he went far beyond that, touting how great a gov he was, giving advice...c'mon.

4. I watch it and thought

Rendell did a good job he came across as credible to those who might not have made up their mind and will now watch the debate expecting to see Mitt do well which means when he fails to meat their expectation he will look that much worse.

5. Rendell is doing Obama a great favor.

Build up Romney so that expectations are "severely" high. When Mittens falls short, perception will be that he lost the debate.

6. Rendell is a corporate Democrat.
