optionsGov. Rendell still thinks Obama/Clinton is the presidential dream ticket, but with Obama set to name a VP any day now, Rendell is making a last minute pitch for Sen. Biden.
“Having said that, assuming she’s not going to be the nominee, I’d steadfastly recommend Joe Biden,” said Rendell at a Capitol news conference yesterday.
Rendell said the Delaware Democrat, who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is the “most experienced in foreign affairs, most experienced in terrorism and national security."
Rendell added that Biden's Scranton heritage and the fact his campaign ads have aired in the Philadelphia media market for three decades, would be certain to give a boost to the Obama campaign in Pennsylvania.
And, Rendell again ruled himself out for Veep, saying, even though the chatter about him continues, he's never been contacted by the campaign. "I've explained the reasons why I'd be a lousy VP," he said. "I guess I've succeeded beyond my own expectations."
