Gov. Ed Rendell said this morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he is not being vetted for vice president.
"No, no, no, I'm not being vetted," Rendell said. "I haven't been contacted by anybody, showing that the Obama campaign has good sense."
The governor has been mentioned as a potential vice president for Obama after he played a critical role in U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-N.Y.) Pennsylvania primary campaign. Pennsylvania is universally considered a critical state to both presidential candidates this fall.
Former Gov. Tom Ridge (R) told PolitickerPA.com Monday that Rendell's presence in Pennsylvania is worth a few extra percentage points to Obama this November.
