A job D.C.? Rendell says N-O

Thomas Fitzgerald reports:

Colleague Amy Worden was on a conference call with Gov. Rendell earlier during which he was going over the primary results. He was Sen. Hillary Clinton's biggest booster.

A reporter asked Rendell whether he was still determined not to be on the Democratic ticket or in the cabinet.

The gov had this to say: "This campaign reinforced my view I can only work for myself. They were always shoving talking points in my hand - always read them but [ignored them]. I would not be a good number two, and would not be a good cabinet member...I was thinking this is probably the last campaign I will fully immerse myself in…It was a pretty nostalgic night for me."

Only one more term to finish as Governor! Ed can't shake this politic thing in four years, he'll be back with my vote. Now as for Nutter: One and done IF a solid Democrat challenges him in the primary.Knox maybe?

So this is Ed's last campaign to immerse hmself in, sounds like he will be sitting November out. Better get this to Huffington Post.
