Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell weighed in Monday on the Obama campaign’s Bain Capital attacks and, alas, another would-be Obama surrogate bit the dust. “I think they’re very disappointing,” Rendell told Buzzfeed about the negative ads by Chicago. “I think Bain is fair game, because Romney has made it fair game. But I think how you examine it, the tone, what you say, is important as well.”
Oof. But that’s not the half of it. Rendell, who has returned to the private sector after an illustrious public career, including years as an Obama booster on cable news, carries some additional Romney baggage,. It can be found in a long forgotten quote Rendell gave to The Atlantic in 2005 concerning Mitt’s presidential qualifications.
