'THE OFFICIAL transition from Ed Rendell to Tom Corbett reared its head yesterday and looked a little squishy," writes John Baer in today's Daily News. "No clue who might serve in top jobs in the new administration other than an assertion that one name could surface next week, but, said Corbett, "Don't hold me to that."'

There are 400 people on Corbett's various transition teams -- a full list is here -- who are supposed to give the longtime prosecutor full reports on remaking state government . . . by January 7.

Good luck with that.
