Rendell, Bloomberg To Form Chosen Ticket?

With the Eagles out of the playoffs this year and his weekends free, Ed Rendell will appear this Saturday with Michael Bloomberg in California.

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!
