Ed Rendell still doesn't get it. It's not the Republican leaders who are hitting 0bama hard or bringing down his poll numbers. It's the Tea Parties, Rush, Conservative Talk Radio, etc, etc, who are spearheading an American electorate, that is angry with the Democrats over 0bamacare, cap and trade, etc. Hitting the Republican Party hard is not going to make a whit of difference.
You’re right, plus the Democrats are self destructing. The GOP elite could care less as long as they get their share of the loot.
