Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell dismissed Sarah Palin’s assessment that the country could be facing another Great Depression Wednesday, saying that the Alaska governor simply “didn’t have a clue” how to answer a question on the economy.

“She doesn’t give answers any more than Senator McCain does,” Rendell said on MSNBC. “The answer to that question is, we can avoid a Great Depression by doing things to stimulate the economy. And that’s one area where McCain and Palin have no ideas.”

“Governor Palin, in her response, didn't have a clue. She should have pivoted and said, ‘Well, the best way to avoid this becoming a depression is to jumpstart the economy, and here's how we're going to do it.’ They don't have an idea to jumpstart the economy.”
