in a bit of a side bar on the cubs, they now have former boston red sox general manager theo epstein as their new gm, so the cubs may be worth keeping an eye on. no one knows more about politics than our first guest and political prose. he's the former mayor of philadelphia, the former governor of pennsylvania, and also the former head of the democratic national committee. his friends call him ed. he is ed rendell and now works as an nbc news political analyst. ed, you're on with us, in principle, you have encouraged all of us from the get-go to pursue this path. at the same time, you maintain an understandable degree of caution as to whether we can pull it off. what do you see as the barrier? >> well, first of all, let me say that i think this is an incredibly good idea, whose time has come. and when i was up in boston teaching at harvard for four days last week, and i told the occupy boston folks that what occupy means in my judgment now is to coalesce around two things, an idea that can unite them in terms of action, and two, political organizing for the 2012 election. but your id

senators have shown in recent years they are not afraid to spend big money and you never know what theo epsteins going to do now that he is running the chicago cubs. that, i think, would be the ultimate insult to st. louis for albert to end up in a cubs uniform because, as you know, because you're from st. louis, there is only one thing that the cardinals hate more than losing and i think it's losing to the cubs. >> i think you're right. brian burwell, my friend, thank you so much. appreciate your joining us. talk to you soon. >> my pleasure. >> 24 minutes before the hour, lonnie quinn is here with another check of the weather. >> i got to tell you after watching that piece i think i have a new major league baseball player who is my favorite. that guy comes across great. a great individual and great ballplayer. >>> talk about great weather. a great fall pattern out there. calm and seasonable conditions for almost the entire u.s. of a. nice fall weekend. talk about where the nice fall colors are. portions of new england and adirondacks, around the great lakes. peak foliage viewing this weekend.

theo is gone. epsteinseball. >> the smartest young guy in baseball. >> he'll turn the cubs into winners. the fact of the matter is, it's time for him to leave. >> it would be nice to bring a world series to chicago, don't you think? >> no. i'd rather he would have brought a world series to boston this year. >> well, he did. >> no, he didn't. not this year. i spent a lot of time watching nesn just to see him pull up 13-year-old pitchers from catholic high school in pensacola down the stretch. who were those guys? >> i hope that wasn't director like rattner. >> it's not derogatory. my god, he gets hundreds of millions to play with and we go down the stretch and you look at the dogs we're taking out to the mound at the end of the year. come on. with us from washington, d.c., nbc news chief white house -- i thank him for the world series. here is chuck todd. >> dodgers fan. what have you done for me lately. >> it could be a lot worse, buddy. >> it could be worse. you've been suffering with the dodgers. i will
