My Take
Ed Rendell is the sort of politician I respect because he climbed every rung. District attorney, then mayor of Philadelphia, then governor of Pennsylvania, with a stint chairing the national Democratic Party along the way, he learned governance from the ground up rather than parachuting in. That progression tells me he understood both the courtroom's logic and the street-level work of running a city. His environmental leadership award rounds out a record built on doing the unglamorous parts well. To me he embodies the patient, hands-on operator that durable public service actually requires.
