“I think it would be a dream to Democrats all over this country. Personally, for me, it would be a great ticket. I mean, I’m going to fight hard for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, whoever the candidate is. But put them together, and I think it would give America a rare opportunity to experience something just incredibly wonderful,” Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell said.

But another prominent Democrat and former Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle, who is backing Obama, argued that the Illinois Senator has no interest in being the Number Two in the ticket and rejected as “specious” that since Senator Clinton had more experience she should be leading.

“The fact is, both of them are qualified. They’re good candidates. They both would make great leaders. I do believe that Barack offers a lot more in the capacity of leadership. But I don’t think anyone can look at her experience as first lady and say, for some reason, that qualifies her to run for president of the United States,” Daschle said.
