Rendell, Bloomberg To Form Chosen Ticket?
 |
The Associated Press takes this opportunity to let us know this will spark rumors of an independent political ticket for president in 2008, as there is no way a Jewish former mayor of New York City and a Jewish former mayor of Philadelphia -- the two most beloved cities in the country, I believe -- could possibly lose the presidency. Will it play in Peoria? Where won't it play in Peoria?
Rendell's spokesman says the governor is not going to be running for vice president with Bloomberg and says he's just going to chill with Gov. Terminator and Bloomberg to talk about infrastructure. But that's much less fun. All hail Vice President Rendell!

"Will it play in Peoria? Where won't it play in Peoria?"
These are my favorite words you have written in a while.

America needs and deserves a president with vision and a proven track record of solving tough problems and delivering real results, a president who can bring America together through true leadership and fine character.
I believe that Mayor Bloomberg, a proven successful businessman and public servant, is that leader to help us rebuild our country.
But, we need to convince him to run!

As much as I think Rendell would have made a good choice for the Democratic party's nominee in 2008, I rather doubt he'd run independently for the same reason that he didn't run for the nomination: his close, personal friends the Clintons.
