Ed Rendell just spoke to the DNC a few minutes ago, and if you didn't know better you'd think that he's angling to be Obama's energy secretary (he's not, especially given the political situation here at home, with an ailing lieutenant governor.)
Here's the summary now on the Philly.com homepage:
Ed Rendell accused the Bush administration of "broken promises" in his speech about energy in the Democratic National Convention
I wonder if he thinks the profits are also "obscene" at Sunoco, based here in Pennsylvania? Meanwhile, he was a little off-point on Obama earlier today:
"He is a little like Adlai Stevenson," Rendell mused. "You ask him a question, and he gives you a six-minute answer. And the six-minute answer is smart as all get out. It's intellectual. It's well framed. It takes care of all the contingencies. But it's a lousy soundbite."
"We've got to start smacking back in short understandable bites," he said, noting "Everybody is nervous as all get out. Everybody says we ought to be ahead by 10, 15 points. What the heck is going on?"
Pretty much on the money -- except that Stevenson was the party's nominee for president twice, and got trounced both times.
