Rendell for mayor in 2011? October 30, 2009

How would you like to have one of the world’s 75 best people back as mayor of Philadelphia?

Gov. Ed Rendell, whom Esquire magazine talked up in its October issue, is a favorite for some to challenge Mayor Michael Nutter in the city’s democratic mayoral primary in 2011, according to Philadelphia magazine.

As stated in the brief:

Lots of movers and shakers think the solution to the city’s problems lies in a Rendell run. “I know people who asked Ed if he’d consider it,” says the CEO. “People are upset. There’s no communication from the current mayor, no direction, no sense that there’s anyone there.”

Rendell responded, saying he’d only run if all 1.4 million Philadelphians signed a petition asking him to do so.
