He's So Clean and Articulate

Ed Rendell as Running Mate?

I went through a little bit of a (relative) political lull for a while, but am starting to gear up again for the Pennsylvania primary in two weeks.

Last night, Chris Matthews floated the idea of Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell as a running mate for Barry, should he get the Dem nod.

While I have a terrible track record when it comes to predicting these things, Sir Talksalot argues that he could help bring PA, OH and other risky rust belt states as well as balance out Obama's youth and inexperience.

As evidence of Rendell's intentions to get the job as well as of the prediction's plausibility, Matthews cites how Hillary's biggest cheerleader plays it soft when it comes to discussing Obama. He's left himself a nice comfortable nest to fit into should Hillary lose.
