Reporters at the session peppered Bernero with questions about the ethics of running for president while he’s still running for governor. “Well, the Democratic Party is forgiving,” said Bernero. “Remember that we are the party that almost nominated John Edwards even after we had been forced to deal with Bill Clinton.”
Bernero also has an answer for political pundits who say that he’s an opportunist. “Hey, in today’s media-driven election cycles, a few populist sound bites is all that it takes,” he said. “I think of Wolf Blitzer as my unofficial campaign manager.”
