Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) told Politico that when he's finished with his current term, he'll retire from electoral politics.
Said Rendell: "I'm done running. I don't want to be a freshman senator. I'm too old to be a freshman senator."
Though he said he "would be open" to a Cabinet post in the Obama administration, he "quickly added that he was looking forward to getting back to Philly to teach and write a book - sure to be a must-read for any political junkie."
