Big Ed Rendell is unimpressed with Sarah Palin’s political skills:
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell dismissed Sarah Palin’s assessment that the country could be facing another Great Depression Wednesday, saying that the Alaska governor simply “didn’t have a clue” how to answer a question on the economy.
“She doesn’t give answers any more than Senator McCain does,” Rendell said on MSNBC. “The answer to that question is, we can avoid a Great Depression by doing things to stimulate the economy. And that’s one area where McCain and Palin have no ideas.”
“Governor Palin, in her response, didn’t have a clue. She should have pivoted and said, ‘Well, the best way to avoid this becoming a depression is to jumpstart the economy, and here’s how we’re going to do it.’ They don’t have an idea to jumpstart the economy.”
I just have to laugh in the face of John McCain and Sarah Palin. They are suspending their campaigns? I didn’t know Sarah Palin was actually campaigning. I thought she was in seclusion, or talking to Hamid Karzai about the difficulties of juggling work and kids. They’re literally afraid to debate and not even embarrassed about admitting it. And it’s really remarkable that McCain would race back to Washington DC, the place where he is best known and most hated, to parachute in on a process where he was not invited and is not wanted. What do rank and file Republicans want from John McCain? Do you think they want to put him up for the night while he’s ducking a national debate?
They don’t want to vote for this bailout. They didn’t listen to Cheney, what makes John McCain think they will listen to him. They don’t even like him. John McCain is an infamous jerk. It’s pathetic to see McCain and Palin flounder around like swimmers that just realized there are sharks in the water. Obama’s from Hawaii. He swims with sharks all the time. He doesn’t break a sweat. John McCain, the great war hero, is afraid to debate. Unbelievable.
