Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell explains why Hillary Clinton, whom he has endorsed, or Obama would be unlikely to pick him as Number Two:
"I would hate to think that an honest but politically incorrect answer that I gave as a vice presidential candidate might hurt my running mate who is running for president of the United States," Rendell said.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
