Ed Rendell - "The Republican race for president, so far, has resembled a clown show," said former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell. “The president's going to be in great shape — I think this Republican primary season has been a godsend. It's happening at the same time that he's finding his voice, [and] it's happening at the same time the economy is beginning to recover."(Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty Images for USC Shoah Foundation Institute)
