CHRIS MATTHEWS: Do you think the Democrats have a shot at carrying Florida on the best of conditions this year?

ED RENDELL: Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Particularly when the issues about Social Security are fashioned. I think this is going to be the best chance we've had to carry Florida since 2000.

MATTHEWS: I think Hillary has a better chance than Barack in Florida.

RENDELL: No question.

MATTHEWS: But I think Barack has a better chance if you're his running mate. Would you be available, Governor, to be a running-mate with Barack Obama--

LOL

I’m from Pennsylvania and being a truth teller is NOT one of his strong points.

Being from the Keystone state myself, I'll second that! Fast Eddie is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

Another Pennsylvanian who can vouch that Fast Eddie wouldn't know the truth if it smacked him in the face.

One more Pennsylvanian convinced that Philly Fats' economic prescription for the US would be to turn every National Monument into a casino and every Interstate into a tollway--and that he'd lie and swindle to accomplish rewarding his bookie friends.

We’ne now been told that BO is clean (said Biden) and Rendell is honest (said Rendell.) What a ticket that would make.

Rendell is a low life crook in my opinion. He always has been and always will be a crook. I noticed today he is reducing Hillary’s expectations in PA.

I was called by Reps to change my voter registration and vote for Hillery. I think they have it wrong: you should vote for Obama and make it close in PA, which is lopsided for Hillery.

I've not heard that expression since my mama used to say it when I was a kid.

Rendell is too busy in PA to become VP. Right now he’s trying to put tolls on I-80.
