As the 45th governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell presides over a state rich in electoral votes. He chaired the DNC in '00 and was co-chair of the '04 national convention. He previously served as district attorney and mayor of Philadelphia. The New York Times called the city's renaissance under Rendell's leadership, "the most stunning turnaround in recent urban history." One of Sen. Clinton's staunchest supporters, he endorsed Sen. Obama in June and has made several campaign appearances on his behalf.
