Gov. Rendell, everywhere, all the time

He's in your newspaper, on your television screen, on your Internet news alerts, and on your favorite radio news talk show.

That would be Pennsylvania's own Gov. Rendell, who is ubiquitous on the media circuit this week as the Democratic National Convention unfolds in Denver.

There he is on NPR's Morning Edition urging Clinton loyalists to move on (here's where you can view the story and listen to the interview: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93962036).

There he is on the Christian Broadcasting Network talking about Joe Biden's strengths -- he calls him the "happy warrior" -- as Sen. Obama's vice presidential pick (go here to hear the interview: http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/433517.aspx). 

And there he is again in the Erie Times News, predicting that former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge won't be Sen. McCain's running mate (here's where you can view the story: http://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080826/NEWS02/808260325).

It's no surprise he's taken on the persona of pundit-extraordinaire -- which we saw him do during the primary between Obama and Sen. Clinton this past Spring. As much as he talks about not liking the media, he thrives on the attention -- and will stop for almost any reporter who puts a microphone or tape recorder in front of him.

Stay tuned for more from the Gov in Denver....
