Governing Goldilocks

The "Game Change" Guys made the only intelligent suggestion to which I have privy on this morning's MoJo:  As the Obama White House considers replacements for Raum Emmanuel, the interim Chief of Staff is his former Senate CoS, Peter Rouse.  Described by UK's Guardian as; "...a cat-loving bachelor known for his aversion to the limelight together with his consummate skills as a problem solver..." Rouse is a trusted "insider" who likely won't ever nudge the O out of his comfort zone.  The suggestion from John Heilemann, as Joe Sco pandered for ideas on who the end game should uncover was  our own Eddie G.  Fast Eddie and retiring Governor of the Keystone Commonwealth, Pennsylvania, was a Bingo.  From the moment Hillary Clinton stepped foot on the stage at Soldiers & Sailors Hall on the University of Pittsburgh campus, the guy who made the DNC what it should have been took his fledgling political athlete into mentor-ship and fashioned the candidate who made the six weeks leading to the Pennsylvania Primary,  "Iowa On Steroids."  While all the failing daily newspapers (except Dick Scaiffe at the Trib) took O's money and backed the guy, Hillary's Friends in Pennsylvania came out full force.  Under Rendell's guidance, she was shaken and redirected to understand the value of connecting with each and every voter.  Here she reminisced about family vacations to her dad's hometown, Scranton and raised a beer in a tavern with the guys who noted her "gonads."  Even now, the Congressional Districts who didn't like Obama in the Primary also didn't like him in the General and went McCain except for the inner cities of Philly, the Burgh and Center County where Penn State Students delivered the Blue.  What Rendell has learned in his lame duck session, is that the people of Pennsylvania trust their women to run things.  From coal miners to steel workers, the people bring home the paychecks to the 'Boss' who keeps all but the beer money and knows intuitively how to best spend, save and invest it.  His reassurance glowed through HRC and his understanding of fund-raising made the value of Hillary's support solid in the face of a finger-snapping hot shot who outspent her almost $4.00 to $1.00.  His bowling skills were exposed and his contempt for gun ownership by sportsmen was dissed while he argued that his hoods would "bring a gun to a knife fight."  Not cool in  Deer Hunter towns...As for me, the discovery of "Goldilocks" a planet that could support life as we sorta know it tells me my next job:  being Governor there by the time I am ready to "retire" will be the mission.  All Aboard!
