Rendell: Clinton ‘Very Unlikely’ To Win

So much for party unity. Can’t wait ’til Denver when Clinton blows the place apart with a floor fight.

I dont see McCain wearing a flag pin. And whats the reason he doesn’t do so. At the same time nobody bother to raise the issue on him!

Rendell is correct the DNC will put up their weaker candidate and keep their fingers crossed that he wins the GE.
When that does not happen am sure Dean will find something else to blame that on, but it sure as hell wont be his fault, am sure of that.
Obama can always console his self with the fact that he got the nomination and did better than any other AA, all this is such a pity because the democrats has a real chance at winning this election, everything is there for the taking.
Sadly the DNC looks like it wants to keep its record in tact, putting candidates up when everyone keeps telling them that this is the wrong choice.

Gov. Rendell is a blowhard— I would not want him on my ticket if I were Obama….He is clearly not for a unified party after his comments he just made!!! He also has very poor judgement as shown in his support for the ever deviuos Clinton !!!!

Peace…Americans don’t have to see McCain wear a flag pin…we know which country he loves above all others and the torture he endured as a POW…get real.
I love Rendell and he is a smart man…he should wait until Saturday or Sunday in putting his opinion out there. I think this is laughable that everyone knows the Dems are putting in their weakest candidate and super d’s are being bought.

PEACE you are the reason I watch these posts and read them.
You are an idiot. I feel good knowing I fought in a war to save your opinion. It makes good comedy for me and my freinds here in the office. Keep it up please’ Its cheaper than cable TV

She may be just as delusional as Obama and his supporters who feel that Obama can take the WH. Maybe you guys really need to wake up and look around, some democrats may not want a republican president but they sure would vote for one rather than Obama.
Don’t keep jumping for joy from what you see in a primary, remember Hillary also has over 17 mill supporters, without those supporters buying into a Obama;s presidency there is no WH for him, Obama will need all of Hillary votes, so far they way they are being treated I don’t see them suddenly having a change of heart.
So don’t start to measure for curtains just yet Obama supporters the race is still not done as yet, Obama now has to beat McCain.

Save it Angie – BHO keeps changing his mind or story. Do you think now that he has pushed back bringing the troops home to 16 months after he gets in office that he won’t change it again! Listen up!

The White House doesn’t need a token. They shouldn’t elect a person based on color or gender. But Obama is getting there because of his color, if he can win.

I think this is EVERYONE’s Fantasy…HRC GOES AWAY!!!!!
Clinton owes nothing to the Democratic Party. My fantasy is that she’ll leave and make an independent run.
Count me in … Please Go AWAY HRC!!!!

McCain does not have to wear a flag pin he wear the flag pin in his broken bones.

The bonehead is going to destroy everything.

Obama is definitely the weaker candidate if they DNC give him the nomination and steal it away from the true, substantial leader, H.R. Clinton.
He will of course go on to lose the presidency to J.McCain.
To All Obama Supporters, take note:
Isn’t it amusing how the Obama supporters cry out that Obama is not guilty by association to Rev. Wright, Ayers, Rescko and et al.
But, the Obama supporters claim that John. S. McCain is guilty by political association, with George W. Bush.
Kind of a double standard for the Obama supporters, golden savior!
And believe me, I am no McCain supporter, I believe and support only H.R. Clinton.

Unfortunately, Melvin, you must not get the caucuses. They should be done away with. Until you understand the system you should not talk such stupidity!

That’s right Hill supporters, you go with McCain just to defeat Obama because your candidate did not get the nomination. Cut your nose off to spite your face.
Either way, and no matter what happens Hill will be blamed for not doing the right thing long ago. She’ll be responsible for tearing the party apart. She’ll be shown for who she really is.
When she tries to run in 2012 against McCain you can bet that all of Barack’s supporters won’t let her forget it then either…I know I won’t. She’ll never get into the White House after all the harm she’s caused. She’s done.

Clinton is the wrong choice! She never did understand what the word fair means. She only does things and understands things that will benefit her in some way, even if she had agreed to do things the right way first. She changes her mind whenever she falls behind. We do not need someone who is only out for themselves!!!! She needs to get over it already. I am sick and tired of hearing her same old lines and whines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clinton only appears to be a decent candidate because Obama has taken the high road throughout the campaign.
With her incredibly low credibility/honesty polling numbers, the additional attacks based on solid evidence, like the recently released grand jury transcripts which have documented perjury – she would not be able to win the White House. Obama actually has been in elected office longer than Clinton. Her travels, albeit sniper fire layden, are truly not legislative experience. Her attempt at health care planning was mute then too.
Obama will win the primary – needing only 46 more delegates. Clinton needs over 200.
He will be the nominee. Now on to get the Republicans out of the White House.

So you want experience and partiotism and think that McCain give you that?
Hand over the presidency to a newbie? Gee, everyone except an incumbent is a newbie at presidency. There is no job like it. Advisors are there to help you govern by offering you more than one myopic, misguided viewpoint. Or you can be like Bush and just ask Cheney or Rove what to do and forget all those experts.
As for patriotism, what better way to prove that you are a patriot than trying to help govern? No one goes through the process of trying to become president unless they are patriotic. It is not a fun job.

Obama is going to have a rude awakining once the GE starts he cant even get past Hillary

It’s just Hillary’s unlucky timing to run against the first black guy to be endorsed by Oprah. I’m all for Affirmative Action, but I will choose the best candidate not based on skin color, ever! I have noticed the advertising guys have put more black men in commercials than I’ve ever seen before…anybody notice that here in L.A. Black actors are definately benefiting from this primary season.

Oh you delusional Obama supporters,please wake up.Keep insulting Hillary supporters and your guy will loose in November in a landslide you have not heard of before.

debbie do you understand iraq had nothing to do with 911 as for the men and women enlisting i understand so what are you saying its their fault for enlisting my god how can you sleep at night

This is pathetic. Can you say, “sour grapes”? How strong could Hillary be against McCain if she can’t even win her own primary? What party does Ed Rendell claim to be a part of, the Hillary party? Sorry, Mr. Rendell, but the Hillary party is just about over. Some people just don’t know when to leave a party.

1) Rendell is no longer a VP candidate.
2) Since when did a flag pin become a prerequisite for the presidency? That’s a real measure of intelligence …

For all of you dreamers out there in la-la land – in order to run as an independant you needed to have registered by jan 08 – I don’t she has done that – so – go back to sleep -
and if you don’t support the nominiee – then you as guilty as McCain for killing more troops – your as guilty as those who do nothing to try and change the way things are – your guilty by association – of the racist in this country because a black man will take the office…..

A privately funded re-vote – funded by Clinton Fat Cat supporters – is not legal or fair. Nancy Pelosi was against that as well as any sane person.
Privately funded elections? Funded by supporters of a single candidate? That’s not very democratic now, is it? Gee – I wonder who wins that one?

I prefer Hillary, but I’m just as happy to vote for Obama. The objective is to put a final nail in the GOP’s coffin once and for all. Eyes on the prize, people!

Can anyone imagine what the Clintons would be doing to Obama were the tables turned?

He’s the weaker candidate, but has more votes, pledged delegates and super delegates??? Yah… ok. The democrats will unite when they realize its about the ISSUES and mccain stands for the total opposite of what hillary is. To vote mccain because hillary lost is just stupid. you know she’d never want that.

Hillary or McCain ’08
Don’t let party “leaders” pick the weak black guy over a strong woman.

your right kerry

Obama had to beat BOTH Bill and Hillary. He kicked the Clinton Machine butt! It was 2 on 1 and he beat them both. Bill and Hill are honorary razorbacks!

This has become nothing but a joke. The concept of a democratic process is nothing more than a bunch of whining and finger pointing when viewed from the outside. Scorned ladies take note. You are doing nothing but giving ammunition (and credence)to sexism with your ultimatum laced crying!
Lastly, allow me to pose a question. If a particular party cannot even work together without bickering then why should one suspect they are capable of leading a country!

I think it is Hillarious that Obama thinks he can win when he has blocked revotes in MI and FL.
Other swing states that Hillary can win: AR, WV, KY, and MO.
Hillary is the stronger candidate.
My family and I are all voting McCain if Obama is the nominee. Obama is just too liberal and he keeps flip flopping on his foreign policy.
Hillary 08

GO HILLARY….ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION!!
Obama will NEVER win in November!!
Obama would only be another George Bush….another no nothing!!
Hillary or McCain

Obama can’t win without Hillary’s supporters, and he has dug him self a deep grave here. As we all know the General Election is up to the swing voters, these swing voters aren’t going to vote for some one with ties to Reverend Wright. The only people capable of looking over Reverend Wright are the blacks and the democrat extremist (that is the college educated ones that lack any common sense). Gov. Rendell you would do better to get on the ticket with McCain. He’ll be our man, after all he is a moderate republican, that with a democratic congress. We Hillary supporters can live with that.

just want to know what hillary supporters think that if she were to somehow take the nomination she would cause such hate amongst obama supporters that she would become unelectable?
or do you think obama supporters are big enough people to just say… whatever its cool?

Stealing the nomination from the rightful frontrunner would make her unelectable indeed. I would NEVER vote for her under those circumstances.

I HOPE CLINTON RUNS INDEPENDENT!!!

Wisconsin for one

libre – so, according to you, only Hillary supportors are “real” Democrats? That’s insane. You’re obviously another Republican trickster trying to sow discord among Democrats. How sad.

Will we ignore all the red flags about Obama and blindly follow?? Throughout history, this has always been a dangerous and disastrous move.

As they say, that’s why we play. Had we based the Democratic nominee on the polls preceding the primaries last year, Hillary would have been the inevitable nominee. She would have won handily. Now that the primary season is coming to a conclusion, Hillary was not the chosen one. For Clinton supporters like this bafoon in Pennsylvania to now claim that current polls indicate that Hillary will win the general election is plain stupid.

Yeah, Mr. Rendell! Get her done already. Show her the exit door so that we can see a clearer picture who will our next president to rebuild or ruin our country.

Someone needs to tell Rendell that he lucked up into the Governor’s position but he will never be senator, vpres or pres. He isn’t polished enough. A pennsylvanian.

Hillary! you go girl! They tried so hard to get rid of you, but NEVER GIVE UP! That is terrifying for Obma´s people because they know he does not stand a chance against you!
HILLARY DO NOT GIVE UP!! TAKE THIS FIGHT TO THE CONVENTION !! YOU WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
WE HAD ENOUGH OF OBAMA´S LIE AND SEXISM.
HILLARY WON THE POPULAR VOTE AND HAS MILLIONS WHO SUPPORT HER! MADAM PRESIDENT! DO NOT GIVE UP! YOU ARE A FIGHTER AND NOT A QUITTER. WE LOVE YOU!
We will never ever vote for Obama. We want Hillary and Hillary it will be!

Would Hillary accept Obama’s ticket??
I hope so but I am not very sure. Because many remarks have been made in this campaign but it is time to come together in the interest of the party. I hope Clinton understands this. May God bless America.

hhmmm last poll I saw had Obama up by 51 percent over McSame. Like I said, it’s MAY…. November will bring a much different story. President Obama on January 21, 2009. YAY.

Hillary will probably have herself strapped to the podium at the Democratic Convention and demand to be the nominee. They will have to have security guide her off the stage so that the country can celebrate our next President….OBAMA 08/12!!!!!!!!

Sen. Clinton should go home to State of NY and rest comfortably. Sen.Clinton’s self-convincing subjective arguments of electability with no proved mathematical numbers like Sen. Obama has earned not only deride the DNC’s rules and democratic process, but dictate the DNC’s prescribed democratic rules as her own rules. I think the ways Sen. Clinton has understood the NDC’s rules are her rules. The outcomes of primary elections do not go to her well, she can change the rules in the middle of the game. It is Sen. Clinton’s rules. It is just ludicrous. How can American voters trust her highly logical and very highly
strategic arguments when a candidate has shown the ignorance to the DNC’s prescribed rules. I can understand only a common sense language just like Sen. Obama has talked to and shown how he has earned it. He has been working so hard to earn it and also has adhered to the DNC’s prescribed rules that have set for the game of the primary elections.
Go Sen Obama for the presidency.

Would Hillary accept Obama’s ticket??
It’s not likely. How can a former fist lady cling to VP and former president to push his wife to accept it? It’s another conspiracy from Obamania to insult Clintons.

I would like to know what the Obama people see in him. He thinks there are 57 states. He does not know what city he is in when he is in it and he does not know anything about this countries history. So much for being an American. I think not.
Go Hillary or McCain.

how was the DNC determined to have obama from the beginning
you have obviously just joined us recently
because anyone knows, and even HILLARY knows herself that before feb 5th she and everyoen else thought she was going to win
she even says so herself
she LOST
thats right
SHE LOST
because she had a crappy campaign strategy, and failed as a nominee

However you would like to label it to make yourself feel better is fine, although please see Kerry 2004.

Very funny.
Although superficially it looks like Ed Rendell is accepting the defeat of Hillary, in reality he is saying its still not too late to nominate Hillary the stronger candidate. Expect him to come back and say he was misquoted. LOL!!
Hillary should take it to the convention and make sure Obama, the weakling does not get nominated.

What’s extremely bizarre is that while people argue that Hilary’s supporter’s won’t support Barack, they presuppose that his supporters will support her. What do you think will happen if all the “black” voters, and “white, yuppie, arugula eating liberals,” stay home or vote for McCain as well? Hilary loses, and so does the country. If people don’t pull it together, that’s what will happen.
I honestly think that, however this is resolved, both the nominee and the loser will work to unite the party and help all of these histrionic folks realize the sheer lunacy of voting for McCain out of spite. Not only will we be doomed to four years of McBush, our great grandchildren will still be trying to dismantle a radically conservative Supreme Court. Is it really worth it?

To the obama supporters that question the “Fair” vote count of FL & MI – or “obama played by the rules”
A RE-VOTE would of solved all these problems from the past – BUT
A RE-VOTE was scheduled and funded – approved by the DNC, State officials and Clinton – OBAMA BLOCKED A REVOTE!
This is a FACT!
So….Obama should get ZERO votes in FL & MI – WHY did he Block a Re-vote???
Obama is trying to control and STEAL the nomination, this is just one of the many reasons that we will NEVER all “come together” – and the fact that Obama is NOT Qualified!

Hillary supporters, no matter how much she supports Obummy if he gets the nomination, please do NOT vote for him, lets unite and either not vote or vote for McCain… we should not allow Obummy to get in the white house.
May god save us!

I hope the SD are actually paying attention and don’t come out for Obama after June 3;that will just push people over to McCain. Remember, McCain was going to switch to the Democratic party a few years ago so alot of people don’t see him as this polarizing figure. If we really want a Democrat in November then we have to take this to the convention.

Obama hopes playing the race card will send him straight into the White House. Ha!
And how did you all like the Obama camp suggesting Clinton has it in for him? Yeah that is the kind of President we Clinton supporters want. Yeah right!

=================================
There’s one problem with your spin (sorry, that’s what it is): And that is Hillary supporters, moderate democrats are not issuing empty threats to change the minds of Obamabots when they say they’ll vote McCain. Hillary supporters wouldn’t mind voting for McCain,
the same is not true for “black” voters, and “white, yuppie, arugula eating liberals,” Who fears McCain presidency the most? the Obama group. If Obama is the nominee, many democrats will go with the second best choice McCain. You can try as much as you can, but McCain is no GWB.

In theory they would have been able to work well together, but the events have created some bad blood. I’m not going to point fingers or name names, as that time is almost over and somehow we will have to get it together. So, in effort to move forward, ‘whoever’ is the nominee will have to pick someone that brings something different, but harmonious, to the table…I like Bill Richardson. Of course, I would love if one of the big guns got into it just to shut the whiners up, but that won’t happen. Personally, I’d prefer if Al Gore bumped them both and took the ‘winner’ as his VP.

i am a former Clinton supporter very disappointed at her campaign tactics. Posted by: Dwain | May 28, 2008 5:05:25 PM
=====================================
LOL!! Yet another Obamabot posing as a “neutral democrat”.
Once again, there are enough Hillary democrats in swing states who would ensure a McCain landslide if Obama gets the nomination.

I agree….Obama promotes “change” but has yet supported his platform with a remedy to create this change. I hear him repeating a lot of Hillary’s comments and plans, but nothing original of his own. When he is on the stump, he blunders and lies, as about his uncle. He’s doesnt think before he speaks and is very quick to judge. We don’t need a President like this and I’m glad that if Hillary is not the nominee, then McCain will be the President.

DUH and Debra – yes, we all know about McCain’s patriotism, but do you really believe that Obama is not patriotic??? If so, then you are the ones that need to “get real”. The fact that McCain does not wear an American flag pin is a sign of disrespect, and if this is going to be an issue for Obama, than it should be an issue for McCain as well. But, in all reality, it doesn’t really matter anyway. Obama is the next President, and I will be back on here in November to throw it in the faces of all you Clinton/McCain supporters.

=======================================
Very nice unity talk from an Obamabot.
The truth of the matter is Obama loved Marxist professors. His political career began with the blessing and guidance of convicted domestic terrorist America- hater Bill Ayers. He refused and lectured on why one need not wear a flag pin UNTIL he figured out that’s not a politically smart strategy. He sat in the church for 20yrs where the sermon was “G.D.America”.
And you pretend people cannot have genuine doubts about his patriotism?

You can say what you want about Clinton supporters and tell her to go away and be as mean as you want, but your guy is going to need the Democratic vote to get elected and you folks telling HRC to go away in rude terms are not making it any easier to swallow an already bitter pill. For moderate Dems, some will go with McCain, but that is their choice. That doesn’t mean that you cowboys can throw them out of the Democratic fold because they don’t bow down an worship the Rev. Barack.

Timothy, dream on… Republicans will vote for McCain and most Hillary supporters will vote for McCain… that is a fact. Obama has no chance!
McCain has proven to be a better man, a better person and a better senator than Obama. It’s been over 2 years that Obama went to visit the troops in Iraq… why because he doesn’t care, he is giving you empty promises he cannot keep since the president alone cannot withdraw the troops. But again he does not care!!

Dan A said “Gov. Rendell is a blowhard” – You’ve got that right. He has done NOTHING for Pennsylvania. He railroaded gambling through with the promise of property tax relief and guess where all of those funds have gone so far?!?!?! Airports, stadiums & his buddies pockets. Now he want to turn our turnpike over to a foriegn company. The man is an idiot. I can’t believe people voted him into the governorship TWICE!!!! Particularly after he left Philadelphia such a mess!

You got us McCain, we love our country more than our party. We won’t turn our back on our country the way Obama turned his back on our country when Reverend Wright was putting us down!
Clinton supporters for McCain!

Helena said “I don’t want Ed Rendell or Hillary Clinton on any ticket.” I’ll 2nd that!!!!

I see there are a lot of Republicans here posing as Hillary supporters. I’m wondering if they are paid campaign people.

Well I have supported Clinton this far. I will say this and I read a lot more than I write on these post because of all the personal attacks from both sides. I am a 60 year old working female. I wanted Hillary to win but also like Obama. I think it is childish, these threats I read from mostly women supporting Clinton saying they will vote for McCain if Clinton does not win. If the only reason you support her is because she is a woman and not for all the right reasons then shame on you and double shame on you if you switch to McCain just from spite or because you are a sore looser. Someone had to win and this time it probably wont be her. I feel she is the more experianced but that isnt everything. Hillary and Obama see eye to eye on whats important to the Dem party and what it will take to fix this broken party. I will support who ever wins the nomination as main concern is not letting McCain continue to ruin this country. For those jumping to McCain out of anger. Grow up and start thinking about down the road. Maybe you were not Dem to begin with and having a woman in office is all you cared about.
Sen. Obama you now have my support and yes I would like you to ask Clinton about the VP but trust your decision to who his best for the job. Sen. Clinton, maybe next time and I hope for the greater good of the party you will help support Sen. Obama after June 3rd. Note: I know it means little but three Rep. friends of mine said they were voting Obama and would not vote the Rep ticket this year. I expect a lot of that. God Bless The USA.

One reason Hillary looks stronger than Obama in some (not all) polls right now is that she has been on the attack against him pretty much nonstop for the last month and a half. By contrast, he has said almost nothing negative about her. There have been negative things said about her in the press — mostly when she starts daydreaming about another assassination, or recalls her experiences under fire in Bosnia — but nothing negative from the Obama camp. On the other hand, it’s clear that he’s not afraid to go negative on McCain. So I don’t think you can draw any strong conclusion about who would be the stronger candidate on the basis of polls. As AbeLincoln (above) points out, it’s better to just stick to the rules.

No one is jumping to McCain out of anger. It’s just to keep an unprepared, ill-equipped and inexperienced Obama and his America hating wife and friends out of the White House.

For some time now Hillary has been running for 2012. I see that Rendell has hitched his wagon to her campaign. They will do whatever it takes for McCain to win. Sickening.

I don’t want to vote for anyone out of spite. I voted for Gore, he lost to Bush. I voted for Kerry, he lost to Bush. Where were all of you then ? Now, you are whining because I find your candidate less palatable and think that by insulting my intelligence, age, sex or whatever works itself in to your brain cell that you can convince me to vote for this guy. Well, HE HAS to convince ME of his sincerity and he just hasn’t done that. Personally, I feel like all of you and the media have shoved Obama down our throats until we are ready to gag. If you want him, great, vote for him. I will be wherever you were when Bush won not once, but TWICE.

Without ed rendell hillary would have lost pennsylvania. Yes americans have voted for barack in large enough numbers and in various types of states that he has the lead in delegates. His campaign is not run by the Democratic machine, that’s hillary. His campaign is mostly financed by small donors, you know regular american people, 1.5 million. And last I checked this country is a democracy, yet so many repub are in a rage even after they had control of the WH, about a democratic WH. and soo many hillary supporters are in a rage because the dem. machine didn’t win. I can’t wait to see the number of repubs that will actually vote for mccain plus all those hillary supporters voting for mccain. November is only six months away.

After reading this article, I was a little upset and shocked by Gov. Rendell’s comments. Obama ran the better campaign but he is the weaker candidate. Hillary should have won the nomination months ago, but she ran a dismal campaign. Obama was inexperienced and still master the election process. Hillary had 35 years of experience and signed an agreement to disallow Michigan and Florida months ago. If she was the stronger candidate she would have won.
But I remembered there are seven stages of grief. Gov. Rendell along with many Hillary supporters are suffering. I listed the stages below. Hopefully, Gov. Rendell will reach stage 7 before the convention.
Shock or Disbelief
Denial
Bargaining
Guilt
Anger
Depression
Acceptance and Hope ( Hope!!!! Obama ’08)

After all this woman’s shennanagans, who can even stand her much less actually trust her? Don’t go away mad, JUST GO AWAY!!!

I agree with Gov. Rendell. I think Hillary is the stronger more experienced candidate. If the DNC votes otherwise, I will support Obama. We certainly don’t need another Republican president, period, end of story. Let’s see what a Democratic president and congress can do to turn around the national economy, get us out of the freakin’ Iraqi war, etc. No matter which candidate you favor as a Democrat, we absolutely cannot have a McCain presidency!

Yes the primaries are almost over and I’ll have a second opportunity to vote against the faux-uniter come November. Looking forward to it.

Obama may or may not be the most electable in the general election; that’s debatable and not really answerable at this time. But, in my honest opinion Obama IS the best choice for America. Clinton is along the same line as Bush when it comes to openness and honesty vs. spin. She frequently uses half truths, stretches reality, and perhaps even outright lies (think Bosnia among other things). We really need open honest discourse from our leaders, not spin. It’s time to end the Bush/Clinton era of politics and move on to something new. At least we know Obama IS the most electable among Democrats. That’s a demonstrated fact.

CLINTON AGREED WITH THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WITH ALL CANDIDATES, IN THE BEGINING OF THE CAMPAIGN TO NOT CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA OR MICHIGAN AND TO HONOR THE RESTRICTIONS. THE STATES WERE PROPERLY WARNED AND YET STILL CONTINUED.
ALL OTHER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOLLOWED THE RULES AND DID NOT CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA. OBAMA WENT SO FAR AS TO TAKE HIS NAME OFF THE MICHIGAN BALLOTS, HE KEPT HIS WORD.
IF SHE WAS WINNING, SHE WOULD HOLD OBAMA TO HIS WORD. WHY DOES SHE GET TO CHANGE THE RULES? THE RULES SHE AGREED TO FOLLOW.
SHE’S CAUSING NOTHING BUT A MESS AND IN THE PROCESS CONFIRMING THAT HER WORD MEANS NOTHING.

Gov. Rendel is a CORRUPT politician…everyone knows that…but the Press never said anything. He is the one as responsible (among other things)for the bad schools in Philly…Rendel and other politicians FIRED the best School Superintendent Philly ever had….for ‘political reasons’. Superintendent Hancock (i think that was his last name) fought with those politicians to make them accountable and make the schools better….at the end he got fired because he was too “outspoken”. Rendel (and the teacher Union) never care about the welfare or education of the Children in his own State. Check PBS library and get the facts., you will get mad ehan you watch that PBS documentary….and how individuals like Rendel try to lecture the American people when he is a real trash.

I guess the Obama supporters didn’t participate in the last election, or else they would realize that you can’t win the presidency with just the far-left and black vote.

Rendell is no better thn Wolfson, Ickes or any of the other surrogates. He builds up Hillary by dimenishing Obama instead of building her up on her own merits. In doing so, he divides the party. He also participates in the fractured logic and ever changing goal posts as Clinton falls further behind. He has been mentioned as a possible VP. It seems unlikely based on his behavior. He can’t keep his mouth shut. He is a big mouth back slapping politician from the last century. His style of politics is what we are trying to retire.

Watch the meadia rating going down, once Hillary is out of the race. It’s Hillary that is keeing their ratings up high beacause the majority of the world wants to see her win. Obhama is playing the same game with Hillary as Bush did Al Gore. EVERY VOTE MUST COUNT or Americans should stop preaching DEMOCRACY to the WORLD

Hillary should not accpet the DNC’s decision this weekend and take it to te convention!
or run as an independant for president!

We are with you all the way to the convention Hillary,don;t let Obama or his in the tank media and there pundits dicktate what you are going to do.WE ARE 100% WITH YOU IF YOU TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION.

Jim -
Learn to spell Independent.
You Hillary supporters are easy to spot.
LOL

Jill -
Were you and Jim in the same spelling class, or did your spelling suffer at the hands of your obvious Clinton brainwashing?

L Schultz.
I reacted the same way. Before I get off of this blog, it’s nice to read another (there are others) reasonable minded person. I was really shocked at what I’ve been reading. I have to tell myself that these are Republicans trying to push buttons. Otherwise, I’d have to think the worse about the American mind.

I wish people would stop saying that Obama is black.He is not. He is 50% white,46%Arab and 4% esle.Even if He win’s, we still do not have a black president.Do You people understand this ???

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T
No ‘a’ baby…

And I see that there are two Jills. I’m the pro Obama Jill and I’ve just changed my name…

No, I’m not kidding.

Obama won the primary fair and square. Hillary was the inevitable candidate and I supported her early on. But Obama earned my respect and my vote by the way he conducted himself during this process. Hillary lost my vote and my respect during this campaign. Like many other open minded americans I am now certain Obama is by far the best person to lead this nation. He does understand the issues and is able to work with people.
Regarding foreign policy, McCain would have been a better candidate if the cold war was still on (i.e. 30 years ago). The Soviet Union is long gone; things are not “black and white” anymore (or “you are with us or against us”). That was the only approach that the Bush’s team recycled from the Reagan administrations knew: Cheney, Ramsfeld, Rice (with a degree on Soviet affairs), Abraham, etc. It will be hard to find a worst combination of arrogance, ignorance and incompetence in history. That is the same obsolete experience that McCain will continue.
We and the world deserve better. Obama and his smart team is the best choice.

Y’all need to no I waz the spelling bee champ here in Travis County West Virginia for both years I waz in the 10th grade.
When I get national, I mayz run for the border to Ohio or Pennsylvania to visit me some big cities.

How disappointing is it to read the hate filled disrespectful comments concerning both candidates. I have always been amazed at the sheer lack of caring and consideration human beings display on a daily basis. I dont’t know whether to laugh or cry when I think about being of the same race as you…the human race.

L Schultz- I too felt that way. I am an Obama supporter and have seen insults, name calling, lies etc.. from all canidate supporters. I have seen people try to talk about issues that are important and ask questions that have merit about other canidates and have seen them get slammed with name calling and one line insults. Worry not my friend. The people on these blogs are a very very small number compared to over all voters and you really cant even decide how the country is feeling or doing things as a whole by whats on these blogs. The media doesnt help and spins things out of control. I would like them to start a blog with no spin headline that allows only real decussions and deletes anything but.

“real decussions”
Invest in a dictionary idiot!
Obama ’08

Hillary or Bust, Hillary for Prez if not my vote is for Sen. John McKain

Paula
You are an idiot.
McCain wants to end the war and bring the troops home but he believes Iraq should be stabilized so a massive genocide does not occur.
Obama will not even commit to a timed dated for withdrawal. First, “less than a year”. Then, “maybe 16 months”. Now, “18-20 months.”
You support genocide with Jimmy Carter Obama?
You are an idiot!

Tony
Please speak English.
We do not understand ghetto.

Sorry for the typo. But pointing out ones spelling or lack of on a word or two doesnt prove any positions and is just another way of insulting some one on these blogs. Im not running for president or you might have a reason to be concerned.
See- Even my fellow Obama supporter throws insults at me by calling me an idiot because I didnt spell a word right. Must make him feel big or something.

KC
I’m sure you understand sign language.
the closed fist with the rise of the middle finger

Why does this surprise me? The Clinton supporters would rather the Democrats lose to McCain than keep their mouths shut and try to defeat a third Bush term. I started off being a Clinton supporter but over the last several weeks she and her gang have convinced me she is not worthy of being president. This is another example of why I hold that view

dont all you people realize that there
are hundreds of people who dont vote in
these primeries ? and whoever is or
becomes president can only suggest and
congress passes legislation. I wont vote till the general election and then
vote for i think is best qualified

All you so called DEMOCRATS that continue to holler that if your candidate don’t win you will vote for McCain, STOP YOUR WHINNING AND GO A HEAD AND REGISTER REPUBLICAN NOW!! BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT TRUE DEMOCRAT IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CROSSING THE PARTY LINES IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
DO IT NOW DON’T WAIT BECAUSE WE DON’T NEED YOU!!! TRADERS!!!! YOU ARE HURTING NO ONE BUT YOUR OWN IGNORANT SELVES.

Nick,
You are full of it. The reason people will not vote for him is because they know he cannot straighten out the mess this country is in. Hope and Change rhetoric doesn’t take care of the hard challenges that confront the next President.

Haris,
Rendell is politically savvy and knows who the stronger candidate is. That’s your problem you are still in school and have no clue about the political world. Just because somebody is pretty and can read speeches that Hope and Change doesn’t mean they can do anything. This is NOT American Idol. This is serious business.

Rendell and others like him is why the DNC has lost these past two elections against the RNC. It appauls me and sickens me that our party in a time of such tormoil can act this divisive. This is why I don’t participate in politics on any level. People like him and most of Clintons supporters gives rise to the question of “Why bother?”. Election after election we see the same old divisive negative attacking, support my candidate or else type thinking. It’s just selfish, self-serving politics. I retire in 10 months after 20 years in the Navy and see the same thing in our chain-of-command, which is why I’m so happy to be getting out. Iraq was my worst nightmare and anyone that hasn’t experienced that war need to step back and contemplate thier happiness and freedom.

J,
I may be a student but let me tell you this.
You cannot even tell me anything against my arguements on Hillary ;P
are you a hypocrite?? :P

And because you are almost certainly correct Brian, we will have another 4 to 8 years of gridlock in our Government. No matter what your party affiliation, partisan politics as much as anything will be our undoing. Going in almost any direction would be better than going no-where. And that’s what our government is best at. Spinning it’s wheels and blaming the other side for any lack of progress.

Experiance>> Experiance>> Experiance!!
Everybody talking about Obama’s lack of experiance.
What kind of experiance do he need experiance of bull, because that’s all our past few presidents ever gave us.
I’m sure they were experianced before they got in office.
The longer the Bush’s stayed in office the worst this country became.
That’s experiance for you.

I’m a 48-year old woman who think Hillary would be an atrocious candidate. In fact, I know she would be horrible candidate because I’ve witnessed her lack of character and whiny “the boys are so mean to me attitude.” She’s devisive and dishonest as well.

I hope Hillary Clinton runs as an independent candidate. I really hope she announces that by tomorrow morning.
Obama ’08!

haris,
Obama was outspending her 3:1. His backers are not all working class people, if you think that you are naive. They are virtually tied in the popular vote.
If the democrats had winner take all like the Republicans she would be the nominee.
Obama has done his share of mistruths and misspeaks as well.

He only said what everyone thinking objectively already know.

haris,
“I am well aware this is not a small thing and its not a belittling exercise for Christ sake.”
Well said. It was a very positive campaign until Hillary found out she was losing.
Obama for President!

Mini,
For you to think any of these candidates are going to completely pull out of Iraq is naive. Obama is not going to do it if he is smart because it will cause more problems.

marygrace,
“TO OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS GET OVER YOURSELVES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH BITTER, AWFUL, NASTY PEOPLE. YOU HAVE DISPLAYED DISRESPECT TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE WHO DOES NOT AGREE WITH YOUR VIEWS THROUGHOUT THIS CAMPAIGN.”
Well, get out more. You’ll meet real working class people. You’ll get to know the pulse of the people. We’re sick of the same old politics that keeps perpetuating itself because experience/history.
Obama ’08!

Look what this country has gone through the last eight years with a president who was not qualified! I don’t want to suffer another four years. If it’s not Hillary, it’s McCain for me!

It is amazing that all of you continue to believe that Obama or Clinton will bring the troops home!! Truth is..no one will bring the troops home! You do not wake up one day and say “o.k., boys, load yourselves in the plane, you all are going home”!! Waht are you, all brain dead? AND nobody mentioned the draft!! Won’t you be surprised that Obama or Clinton will tell you,after they are elected that “oh, well, at this time we have new information that tells us that we need to keep troops in Iraq and we are also sending troops to Afganistan”! It’s POLITICS as USUAL! At the very least, McCain is the only one telling the truth is this scenario!
BTW…I am a Clinton supporter, but will vote for McCain is she loses!

Marygrace Good post! We agree with you 100%!! Hillary 08 or McCain

All you so called DEMOCRATS that continue to holler that if your candidate Hillary Clinton don’t win you will vote for McCain, STOP YOUR WHINNING AND GO A HEAD AND REGISTER REPUBLICAN NOW!! BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A TRUE DEMOCRAT IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CROSSING THE PARTY LINES IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
YOU DON’T NEED TO ANNOUCE IT. JUST DO IT NOW!! DON’T WAIT BECAUSE WE DON’T NEED YOU!!! TRADERS!!!! YOU ARE HURTING NO ONE BUT YOUR OWN IGNORANT SELVES.
SEE YA!!GOOD RIDDANCE!!!

Another reality: Obama wants to raise taxes…on Social Security, on Capitol gains, on gasoline, on just about everything to pay for all the free stuff he can give to the poor!! Right! Affirmative Action-Max! If you think you had bad times with Bush…you are going to get hit so hard in your pocket book that you won’t know what hit you!
So, any small company will have to pay more taxes on Social Securiyt,if you have a decent profit sharing,you pay more taxes, if you have decent IRA yuo will be paying more taxes, if you sell your home for more than what you paid for it, you pay more taxes, and he will re-install the death tax..so when you die, you’ll pay taxes on your own funeral! He will ruin this country..AND I think that is his plan..take from hardworking people and give it to the blacks and the poor! Talk about the anti-christ…

Weaker in the polls today, maybe and maybe not depending who’s polls you look at. They are so wrong most of the time and even as they stand it is awfully close. Once we are down to either Obama or Clinton versus McCain the polls will change anyway. Now the realilty. The DNC will follow its own rules and at the most will seat half the delegates or all and count them as half a vote each. Thats the least their punishment to the states will allow. They will not completely go back and change the rules or punishment this close to the end of a nomination that would change the outcome of the front runner and runner up. It just wont happen. It would tear the Dem party up and even worse. Also the DNC may sit half the delegates and give the Mich Ind delegates to Obama. Also the DNC will look at the bigger picture. Obama pulls in twice as much money as McCain and Clinton is 20mil(last count) in dept. Money talks and the ability to raise contributions means a lot to the DNC. Also so far Obama has been handling McCain just fine. The Clinton years were full of scandals both his and her’s. The McCain camp would use every one they could to defeat Clinton. You can bet on that. Also bluntly, if the DNC were to take the front runners nomination away or change the outcome, after the blow up in this country, how many African Americans or any body else do you think would vote for Clinton if she won in that way? That along with the past scandals and baggage the Rep would use agains Hillary the outcome would be, McCain wins. Bottom line is the DNC will look at the whole picture and make its decisions on not only whats best for the party down the road but will stay within their rules as the high courts determined they can. It will not be all for Clinton and the way she wants it or has to have it to win. I would imagine that Obama will have all the delegates and superdelegates needed as of June 4th. I believe and may be wrong he has 3 dozen SDs in his pocket already that are just waiting for the voting to end on June 3rd. I hope for Clinton’s legacy and possible run in 2012 or 2016 she does the right thing at the end.

The reason that Hillary lost is because MOVEON+OBAMA took the nomination from her.
I will not vote for MOVEON+OBAMA…
I will do my best to help Mccain to beat MOVEON+OBAMA!!!!
ALL THE MEAN OBAMA SUPPORTERS JUST WAIT!!!

You know why some super delegates are jumping into BO’s band wagon?
They have dreams of their own. So If BO gets to be president. Kerry will be Secretary of State. Edwards will be Attorney General, Pelosi will be VP and Dean will be Speaker of the House. lol…
The others? they have their own long list of “It’s time to Pay me back” buddy.
So, I won’t be surprise if these many super delegates will jump to OB’s bandwagon.
I will be very shock however if these super delegates will decide to do the right thing and choose the stronger candidate which is Hillary against John McCain in November.
That will be the greatest honor to do in their part and will made us Americans very happy that there is a “conscience” in their being. And decided to do the choose the right decision.
I will vote for McCain in November and will not stay home to make my vote useless. My vote will make a difference.

Just say no to Hillary, you better check your facts again….the rate will start at $50,000.00! That is why every ecomomist says that Obama’s economic plan is a mistake in this economy! Check it out for yourself!

The mantra of fear: $10 gas, 100 years in Iraq, dastardly supreme court judges, overturn Roe v. Wade. And all of that will be done in 4 horrible years. Democrats had a golden opportunity and they blew it once again. The party of losers.

The true colours of the “Hillary supporters” are coming out when they keep saying they want McCain to beat President Obama.
If Hillary won the nomination, no Obama supporter would even suggest hoping for a McCain win, and Hillary defeat.
Stop the calumnous attacks on Barack, you phony Democrats.

If The DNC Strictly Applies The Rules, Obama Will Lose
A strict interpretation of the DNC Rules that follows the reasoning of the DNC Memo circulated today would require the following results:
A. The stripping of 50% of the delegates of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Michigan.
B. The full seating of the Florida delegation.
C. Should the DNC RBC reject the safe harbor provision for Florida, then Florida would have 50% of its delegations stripped, but Barack Obama would be entitled to no delegates from Florida due to his violation of Rule 20c.1.b. .
By my math, a strict interpretation of the DNC rules would result in a net gain of 80 or 89 pledged delegates for Clinton.

Mack,
The democrats have a nasty habit of blowing the elections that should be easy to win.

“Politics as Usual” Blogger
This isn’t politics as usual. Not when the Obama camp alleges Hillary hoped Obama would be assassinated. This is wicked absurd politics, especially since we are suppose to be in the same party. How low can you go? No way,this is politics as usual; we’ve got lunatics on our hands. Everyone knows Reverend Wright is a lunatic. And to think Obama was a follower of his for twenty years.
There is no way we will ever let Obama become President.

brian,
“Hope can sell. sure .. But more people are buying fear these days.. always have”
Not according to the popular vote. Obama has won with his message of hope. Ironically, his message of hope is about hope in one’s own abilities and the ability of everyone of us to move towards change for the better. It is truly disheartening to see so many people that have no faith in themselves — they oppose hope not just for our country, but for themselves, too.
They’ll come around once they spend their stimulus checks at Walmart and Walmart lays off their mother anyway.
Obama ’08

Bill, what a dolt!! Hillary did not say Obama would be assasinated!! What a jerk..that is some of the dumbest crap that you Obama keep repeating! And you people are allowed out without a leash!!!

I love the way some say Obama took the nomination from Clinton. Like he stole it. I assure you he earned it and didnt expect it to be givin to him as the Clintons expected to win just because they are Clintons. You cant (well you can its a free country) preach about how experianced she is when an unknown Sen came out of no where and won more states, more votes and more delegates and all by following the rules. The only one wanting to break the rules is Hillary. Obama doesnt hound her on every slip of the tounge. Obama doesnt go after her for guilt by assosiation. He carrys himself as a leader. The media didnt pick on Hillary like some suggest. Hillary tried to slam Obama every chance she got. Bring the other guy down to make myself look good is her way of trying to win. Maybe people didnt vote for her because of her lying,
and self pitying and trying to change the rules she agreed on. Maybe because people are tired of a politician just saying what voters want to hear. We have heard it before.
And there were the scandals, His and Hers.
They are known, in brief, as: Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Whitewater, the White House travel office firings, White House coffees and Lincoln bedroom stays for donors, FBI background files on Republicans, missing documents and the presidential pardon of a fugitive friend.
The episodes involving women were his. Most of the others were theirs or hers.
And Bill wants to blow up in SD and cry that his wife is being disrespected. Coming from him!!

Most of these people arent Hillary supporters, they are Republicians – IGNORE THEM

Big Mack, I get the tenor of your message, although it doesn’t quite make sense.

Oh, so now Obama is a Jew hater? His uncle liberated the Jews at a German labour camp called Buchenwald, in 1945. But let’s hide that fact, because it makes Barack look too good.
People just love to hate on Barack, but they are simply jealous their candidate can’t reach his surprising rise to greatness along the same lines as Abraham Lincoln, an unknown in 1859.
Just so you know I’m completely unbiased, I would welcome either a Hillary or Obama presidency, but that’s more than I could say of the pro Hillites who secretly want McCain if Obama is nominated.

Sarah-WI,
You’re right! I am a plant. It is my missiun to fulfill “operation chaos” on all the web boards. It is my “patriotic” duty to ensure that neither a woman nor a black man nor the democratic party wins the presidency.
My gig is up.

We keep hearing this “put hillary on the ballot even if shes not nominated” It’s a wasted vote, all that ensures is you get a President you didn’t vote for and probably one that will work against the policies Hillary has apparantly worked for 30 years for. Hardly a fitting memorial to her. The alternative cry is “if not Hillary vote Mcsame” (personally I think the majority of this is Repub trouble makers) , where’s the logic in that? Again it simply ensures that everything she has worked for will either not come to pass or will be seriously delayed, until an other Democrat, NOT HILLARY THIS WAS HER SHOT,is in the whitehouse. BUT MCSAME HAS THE EXPERIENCE I hear you cry. To be fair so has dubya got experience, would you vote him in for another 4 years? I think not. Because that in effect is what you’re voting for another term of Republican bungling and mismanagement. Mcsame has the experience alright. He has the experience to overturn women’s rights issues that Hillary has worked to champion, he has the experience to continue this illegal, Immoral war for another 100 years, he has the experience to continue running up this CURRENTLY $3 TRILLION dollars of debt, he has the experience to allow the continued shipping of American jobs overseas, he has the experience to ignore the housing crisis and the banking crisis, he has the experience to continue to allow the pharmaceutical and medical companies to rape the American public and he has the experience to continue all the other policies of George W Bush that will mortgage the health and wealth of not only you, but your children and probably your childrens’ children. It’s not who has “experience” that counts it is what they can and will do with that experience. John Mcsame will continue America down the ruinous path that George W Bush has taken it. So it may take Obama a little longer to impliment his policies and to navigate his way through the corridors of Washington ( although I am mightily impressed with how he managed to outflank, outthink and outcampaign the “experienced” Clintons) but those policies are the very ones that Hillary has supposedly been fighting for all of her political life, they are the policies that strike a chord with all Democrats./////////////// Why would you vote for someone with “experience” if that person will use that experience to perpetuate the social and economic hardships that you find unbearable?

Emma:
They’re not going to STEAL the election from Obama – the one who WON by the rules.
Only way Hillaty wins is by making the entire primary process void. NO WAY that’s happening. Because there’s NO WAY Hillary could win if they did.
Quit kidding yourselves. She does not have anywhere close to the support you think she does.

The MSM are really bias.
They cut part of Mr Rendell’s conversation.
They did not show when Mr Rendell said Obama is a weaker candidate in the fall , instead they only showed ” SD are likely to continue to flock to Obama until he clinches the nomination”

Elric Torkelson said, Obama’s uncle liberated the Jews at a German labour camp called Buchenwald, in 1945.
Well it’s beginning to look like Obama may have a major problem here. A website
called Noquarterusa.net has been investigating and finds that that may have been a lie. It will get interesting if the mainstream media outlets pick up on this.

I love the fact that Obama is beating Clinton in every category including most states won, delegates, and yes popular vote (no matter what Clinton tries to say) and Obama is considered the weaker candidate. He is beating Clinton, so how is he weaker?????

Obama is considering a trip to Iraq.
Now, I guess he wants to get some experience.

The mainstream media will never pickup anything on Obama. For whatever reason they will not report the truth about him. Remember Chris Mathews and his creepy I get a feeling down my leg when Obama speaks? Apparently they all feel this way. They pass everything off as a misspeak or taken out of context. I for one am tired of the “If you aren’t for Obama you are a racist”. I am neither. I am for the person with experience who knows what to do about the mess we are in.

I’ve been reading these post for weeks and I find one thing constant…The Clinton supporters saying they will not vote for Obama. My question is why. Why would you not vote for a man who may win the democratic nomination fairly? He has played by the rules and deserves his victory. Why are some taking this as a direct assult against women? There are a lot of people in this country that need to admit to themselves that his race may be an issue for them. If you vote for McCain out of spite, then you deserve the next 4 to 8 horrible years to come. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face….

Look…
Sometimes they will delete information with a link…
I think..
Though they did remove a comment not long ago that I made to someone who kept going on and on about how hot McCains wife was…I simply replied that I thought she looked frail and plastic-y…

Marie:You asked why would you not vote for a man who may win the democratic nomination fairly?
As a Democrat, here is my answer. First I would say that the process was not fair. Over and over again I watched as states voted for Clinton, only to see their elected representatives ignore their constituents and vote Obama. Next, the media coverage has been one sided to the extreme. Finally, I could not vote for a presidential candidate who has made such bigoted remarks as white folks’ greed runs a world in need, my grandmother was a typical white person and white people are bred a certain way. Do you have a better understanding now?

John Pen
I agree with you. This goes to what I said about what do you people know about Obama, which is virtually nothing. He has not been vetted and the republicans will crucify him. They will totally play on people’s fear.

The Clinton supporters saying they will not vote for Obama. My question is why.
Posted by: Marie
BECAUSE THE CROOKED DEMOCRAT BOSSES AND MEDIA ARE FORCING OBAMA DOWN OUT THROATS.
REV. WRIGHT WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN ABOUT OBAMA…ALSO OBAMA’S OTHER FRIENDS AND ADVISORS LIKE AYERS WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON AND STATE BUILDINGS, AND REZKO AND HIS MIDDLE EAST TERRORIST MONEY CONNECTIONS, AND ODINGA WHO HAS PARTNERED WITH RADICAL MUSLIMS AND WANTS TO RULE KENYA BY VIOLENCE AND IS
OBAMA’S COUSIN…OBAMA WENT TO KENYA IN 2006 TO SUPPORT HIS COUSIN ODINGA.
AND OF COURSE THERE IS LOUIS FARRAKAN WHO HAS BEEN HONORED BY THE SAME
ANTI-WHITE CHURCH THAT OBAMA HAS ATTENDED FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
VOTE HILLARY SHE IS A REAL AMERICAN…SO IS MCCAIN….BUT NO OBAMA.

Hillary has more votes than Obama. Hillary should be the nominee. If the DNC is that stupid to give the nomination to Obama, then McCain wins.

I can never vote for a nominee that has endorsed, racism, hatred and anti-american feeling. Obama has endorsed Rev. Wright for 20 years, this is disgusting.

What do you think of Cindy McCain?
GOOGLE “Cindy McCain Drugs” to learn about her opiate addiction. Be safe out there everyone.

Lisa
What about Obama’s crack/cocaine use? He is the one running for President not Cindy McCain.

Obama makes Bush look good. This will be the first time I voted republican, since Regan.

I consider myself an Independent. But one thing I know is…there’s no way in heck Im voting for a Republican after the crazy mess they’ve made of our country and economy. I was so shocked that Bush made it to a 2nd term…Not gonna happen again…not this time!!

I am sick and tired of the way Obama and his hatred mongers have treated Hillary. This last one on the Kennedy assasination is the straw that breaks the back. I will not vote Democratic this year unless Hillary is on the ticket as Pres or VP. I have decided to vote for Libertarian Party. The entire party system in USA is totally corrupt. Voting Libertarian is the way to send a shot across the bow. I am sick and tired of the hatred from the Obama people on this blog. Hillary is a wonderful person. Obama is a Chicago Snake in the grass. Corrupt to the core. The actions of the Democratic Party show a total lack of honesty toward women. The hatred for women is disgusting and I will not support such hatred. Democrat No More. Libertarian in the Future. GO HILLARY GO. NEVER GIVE UP…………..

The democratic party, if they nominate Obama, will let the minority pick the nominee. Hillary won the votes, Obama, cheated with the delegate process. It seems like the dems want the republicans to win.

I will never vote for a crackhead, drunk that attended a hate mongering, racist, anti-american church for 21 years.

the difference between obama and hillary is a difference between knowledge and ignorance..
in this election america have a choice between a smart, educated (HARVARD GRAD.), charismatic, and realistic candidate…
and a dishonest, vicious, decieveful, and delusional candidate…
and american have already decided and siad it loud and clear.. it is time for change..
go OBAMA 08,

I just hope Hillary Clinton runs as an independent candidate this year. I really hope she announces that by tomorrow morning. Best thing that could happen to the Democratic party is to rid itself of traitors/losers. Besides, Hillz would then cut into her best friend McCain’s votes.
Obama ’08!

John Pen,
You are Great! Tell it like it.
A vote for Obama is a vote against America!

Hillary has more votes tha Obama, she should have more delegates. This seems to be a “scam” in the DNC. The republicans have a good system to nominate, maybe the democrats could learn a lesson.

More spending Luke…how so? Do enlighten us please.
First off…you can’t claim it to be the war. Even Obama is now saying that it would take approx. 5 years before we are out of there…did you not hear that one?
McCain will not sign any bill with pork
Obama has billions in new social programs and taxing the rich will not help…there has to be balance and his plans go WAY overboard..
But I am always willing to listen…

no name…tell us something that we don’t know already..

Elections have always been about voting according to rules laid out ahead of the contest, and then translating the direct, or popular, vote into delegates to apportion representation representatively. Then the candidate who “Wins” the most delegates accordingly, becomes the Winner of the election. Senator Obama has run his campaign according to the rules; he has won the most delegates apportioned by popular vote, and he would normally be the winner of the election, but for one thing…he’s running against a white woman of wealth, status, and privilege. How dare he “win” this election! This “election” is over, but the winner can not claim victory, because this is the Democratic Party, and they don’t have the courage to govern. If they did, they would be standing up with one voice to support the nominee, chosen by the people, according to the rules. Instead of playing the silly Clinton game, why can’t the party simply put a stop to this nonsense, instead of feeding it and feuling it–against all criteria of fair play. They are letting the Clintons, once again, make a mockery of the party, and a charade of public service. Sad, disgraceful, and tragic.

Please, Hillary run on the independent ticket. There are 50.1% of the democrats and a large section of the republicans waiting to vote for you. We need an independent president. Obama would be a distant third, with the black and mentally challanged voters.

All -
Don’t forget that Obama typically did much stronger in states with open primaries. I believe that proves he actually is the stronger cadidate for the GE. And, don’t underestimate the strong dislike that exists for Hillary outside the Dem walls. Personally, it’s ABC (any but Clinton) for this guy. I have been impressed with Obama’s style, and will have a tough decision between him and McCain in the GE. McCain impresses me because of his undeniable loyalty and honor, and because he really is not a Bushie but rather (until the primary hype) has long been known as a maverick in the GOP. If it’s Obama and McCain for the GE, I think the U.S. stands to win either way — for different reasons.

I am a moderate Republican and can tell you that a great many Republican voters will vote for Senator Obama come November. Republicans hate and detest the Clintons and if she got the nomination, there is no way she could win. The Republicans would come together and every scrap of dirt would be revived. I understand a film has already been produced about Hillary by a Citizens group proving her past dubious dealings, the cover-ups, the lies. Why anyone would want to see this woman President beats me…she has no diplomacy skills and speaks without thinking. Let’s give Senator Obama a chance; in with the new, out with the old!

I’m beginning to wish I had tickets to the convention in Denver…it should be a real spectacle, with all the ‘strong’ men and women of the Democratic Party showing us how they can lead this nation.

It’s really disheartening to hear that the Governor of Pennsylvania does not believe that Hillary would not win the Democratic nomination. Let us wait and see how it plays out.

The Rule of Law governs this country in all areas. That includes HRC who signed off as well on the Florida and Michigan issue. You all trying to say that someone twisted her arm or forged her signature? Ickes was the one who pushed for 100% disenfranchisement and got his way. Why aren’t you mad at him since he is an HRC campaign staffer? Why didn’t voters in those two States stage all of their protests last August 2007? Evan Thomas: Hold up there! A lot of us older folk are with you to restore dignity, integrity, respect and real strength to the US after cleaning up the mess. No more White House scandals, making deals with Dubai to control our ports, etc. and general distaste with the HRC campaign after raising kids to not cheat or change rules in the middle of a game when losing. The Obama LOL Brigade may not always be quite as emotional but we are a force to be reckoned with.

The Dems are going to nominate the “weaker candidate”? Really?
If she couldn’t beat a first term senator with little name recognition and the middle name Hussein, how in the world does she expect to beat a war hero?

The democratic convention is in August. Obama may have another Rev. Wright adventure. The Rev. may drop a dime on the empty suit, Obama . Hello Hillary!!

Hillary could win as an independant!

@Lake Hart – A Native American Writer
I am native american – Rendell has great judgement. Obama can’t get the nomination until 8/26/08, the same as Hillary. Obama is a hypocrite, empty suit and liar. If you read his history, he is one of the dirtiest politicians to crawl out of Illinois.

autocad-there are a few die hard Hillary supporters, mostly from a Hillary is 44 WEB site that are posting this type of nonsense and disinformation to “scare” people into buyer’s remorse for Obama. They have been hitting numerous BLOGS and the pattern is disheartening for the Democratic party endgame. I do not understand the logic. It’s quite sad.

Clinton has the most votes, she should be the nominee. I guess the democrats are giving the nomination to an affirmative action candidate. I will never vote for this fake, Obama.

Why do so many people have to watch Hillary’s back? Have not heard anybody say that about McCain or Obama – in alphabetical order. Or did I misread? A lot of women where I work have turned their back on HRC because of her campaign tactics – so much blame on everbody or everything else. She was the name candidate, with the most money, the most experienced campaign machine but did not have one single contingency plan in place for after Big Tuesday and is deep in debt. That is not Presidential material. Bush and HRC have that in common – debt! The blatant ractists are certainly out in force tonight – must be part of pill addict Rush Limbaugh’s group or the sorry sight of the underbelly of the Ugly American. 50 States with Texas Two-Step makes 51, plus 6 territories equals 57. Obama can count. HRC math is unusual to say the least. And, strange that no US media has yet mentioned a trial that has now started up in California about Peter Paul and WJC.

@Winner, I do hope you realize the link you just posted shows them BOTH beating McCain in the same states and in alot of them Obama beats McCain by a larger margin than Clinton does, and some of those are way out of date especially since some of those states have repolled and Obama now beats Clinton.

DON’T BE DUPED AGAIN AMERICA !!!
IT’S ABOUT ELECTABILITY !!!
Large numbers of BUSH_McCain Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on with the backing and help of the medical and insurance industry. Under the direction of the George Bush, and Karl Rove vote fraud, and vote manipulation machine. Because they feel Barack Obama would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And they want to stop Hillary Clinton from fixing the HUGE! American, and Global mess they have created. shocking!!! isn’t it. Just gotta love those good old draft dodging, silver spoon Texas boys. Not! :-(
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves off of you, and your children’s suffering.
With Hillary Clinton you are almost 100% certain to get quality affordable universal health care for everyone very soon. And you are also certain to see major improvements in the economy for everyone.
The American people face even worse catastrophes ahead than the ones you are living through now. It will take all of the skills, and experience of Hillary Clinton to pull the American people out of this mess we are in. Fortunately fixing up, and cleaning up others incompetence, immoral degeneracy, and mess is what the Clinton’s do very well.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
Just look at Oregon for example. Obama won Oregon by about 70,000 votes. But approximately 79,000 Bush republicans switched party’s back in January to vote for Obama in the democratic primary. They are not going to vote for, or support any Democrat in November. Are you DEMOCRATS going to put up with that. Are you that stupid, and weak. The Bush republicans think you are that stupid, and weak.
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses, and open primaries where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help. Except North Carolina where 35% of the population is African American, and approximately 90% of them block voted for him. African Americans are only approximately 17% of the general population.
Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton. This is even more phenomenal when you consider she has been also fighting against the George Bush, Karl Rove vote fraud machine in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses. Hillary Clinton is STUNNING!.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. That is crystal clear now. Because all of the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. And the demographics, and experience are completely against him. All of this vote fraud and Bush republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is.
You will have another McGovern catastrophe where George McGovern lost 49 of 50 states. And was the reason the super-delegates were created to keep that from happening again. Don’t let that happen to the party and America again super-delegates. You have the power to prevent it. The only important question now is who can best win in November. And the answer is HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. That fact is also now crystal clear.
And YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose. As do African Americans. Support Hillary Clinton. She will do her best for all of you. And she will know how to best get it done on day one.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic, and heroic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen. Probably the best there has ever been. :-)

p.s. Cynthia Ruccia – I’m with ya baby. All the way. “Clinton Supporters Count Too.”

Obama and Reverend Wright are the one’s who the racist. And were not going to take it anymore.

OMG, I thought children were bad, Its my ball if you dont play by my rules i will take my ball and go home!!! Some of the adults here are just as bad, Its my vote if my candidate doesnt win i will take my vote and go home!!!! GEESH GROW UP ALREADY

Here we are at the playoffs for the SuperBowl. Barack has a one point lead and has the ball within 10 yards of another touchdown. With only 30 seconds left he will probably just eat up the clock in the next couple plays. But wait Hillary is arguing with an official that even if Barack has more points, her team has gained the most yards and should be declared the winner. Now she is arguing her team did better in the big area in the middle of the field. Now Bill is on the field arguing with another official saying sportswriters say Hillaries team has a better chance of winning in the SuperBowl against McCain’s team. If the officials let Barack win and advance to the SuperBowl, McCain’s team will tear his team apart. Official are now in a huddle on the sidelines trying to decide how the determine the winner. Will it be points, who gains the most yards, who does well in the large middle section of the field, or base it on what sportswriters are saying would be the best match up in the Super Bowl. We will have to wait to hear what they decide.

thanks MikeMo1947
…thats some pretty tight game uh
… I want to hear what Hillary is doing to the ref…oh and what is Bill doing to the cheerleaders OMG such disrespectful behaviour….LOL

I have done a lot of research into the math of this election process. I think Barack Obama has used the oldest of the old political shenanigans to gain an illicit advantage by cheating in the caucus states.

I can’t believe Rendell thinks the DNC will make the wrong choice by not choosing Hillary Clinton. Also, I can’t believe that Hillary has the attitude that, “I couldn’t win the nomination fairly, so just give it to me because I’m Hillary Clinton.” She is a liar and a cheat. It’s unethical to think that the super delegates should give the nomination to her because she and her camp says,”I’m more electable.” The majority of Democratic voters have not said she’s more electable. She says she’s more electable. Her campaigning has really revealed her real character. This woman thinks that she is so invincible that she can override or change the rules of the DNC. All along she has been doing fuzzy math relative to Florida and Michigan. She knew the DNC rules because the Presidential candidates had to sign an agreement. It doesn’t matter to her that these states broke the DNC rules. She had ulterior motives from the jump because she put her name on the ballots despite the DNC rules. I can imagine the DNC doing anyting to favor her. As a matter of fact she should be penalized for having her name on the ballots when she knew the rules. This woman does not believe in rules,”just do whatever is advantageous to me.” She doesn’t care if Obama has won the nomination, “Just give it to me because I don’t care about anybody else.” I don’t think this is the kind of presient our country needs. The woman is dangerous! She needs a mental evaluation…and so does Rendell.

“Americans don’t have to see McCain wear a flag pin…we know which country he loves above all others and the torture he endured as a POW…get real.”
________________________________________
I love statements like these. John McCain layed around in a bed with white sheets while his cohorts rotted in tiger cages submerged in water up to their necks. He’s no better than Jane Fonda and we all know how the right wing loves to bash her. John McCain received special treatment because of who he was and who is daddy was. The man is a fraud and a fake.
This entire flag pin thing is a farce. I personally don’t find anything patriotic about sending people to die in a useless war for oil (for what good that has done, we can’t even protect an oil pipeline let alone a nation of people). I have to chuckle when the guy who doesn’t wear one is anti-american yet the man you support, who doesn’t wear one, is a great american. Do any of you see the double standard here? Are republican supporters really that stupid?

It is hard to prove you are electable when you can not win the primary? There is a big difference between the way the Dem nomination is given to a candidate and the way electoral votes are given in November. Kerry won the nomination, but lost the electoral votes just like Obama is going to lose. There are not enough states with condensed black voters to give Obama the electoral votes necessary to take the White House. I am a Hillary supporter and if there were a Hillary/Obama supporter I would vote Dem, but even if Hillary were on Obama’s ticket I will still vote for McCain. I do not trust Obama to be president.

Markos,
Well said.
It’s good to know there are still people who continue to stick to their commonsense no matter what.

dalton – Maybe you need a civics lesson. We don’t elect presidents by “popular” vote. We do it with delegates & the electoral college. It’s worked for over 200 years and it will continue to work.

The electoral college works? Are you kidding me? The system is archaic. It gives the voters in smaller states a larger voice. Funny, last time I looked I thought our votes were supposed to be equal. Why is it every single elected official in this country is elected by popular vote except the president? We don’t have some delegate system in our states based on county votes. Why should we have one based on states? Our system is ridiculous and backwards. It may have been fitting for a developing country but it’s gone by the wayside and needs to be changed.

I wish this thing was over already. Everyone knows you can’t trust a Clinton.

If Clinton or Obama wanted the MI and FL votes to stand, why didn’t they say that back in January when it would have made more sense ?

Why can’t we stick closer to the issue of the article and not post Pro-Obama or Pro-Hillary stuff in comments. It gets old very fast.

The “weaker” candidate? Oh, Gov Rendell – that’s really great! Put it into all the “weaker” minds in this country that Obama is weaker than Clinton. That will really help in November – oh yeah. You idiot

We really haven’t been able to trust our voting system for a long time now. Just look at the sham called the “Electoral College”. (Should be the “Electoral Kindergarden” )

the day hillary concedes (and i hope she doesn’t and takes this to the floor to fight) – as a lifelong democrat – i will leave the party, become a republican and vote for mccain.
i can’t stand obama and will not vote for him.

Hillary Clinton will only accept every vote counting in Michigan and Florida. There is no doubt this is going to the convention floor. The predictions are that when this comes out a number superdelegates will come out of the woodwork for Obama. That will make an impression on the last uncommitted delegates and then they will flow toward Obama.
The problem with this theory is, these superdelegates have all already made up their mind. They are very strong minded, after all, they haven’t let anyone push them around yet. I truly believe the majority of these superdelegates are Hillary supporters. Another thing to consider is many of superdelegates who initially committed to Obama did this before Reverend Wright.
Hang in there Clinton supporters were going to the convention floor! Hillary will win!

Candy, no one is buying your act. We know an Obama supporter when we see one. You Obama supporters are funny.

Peace, McCain is a bonafide war hero. He can be given a free pass if he doesn’t wear a flag pin. Unlike your empty suit, Obama, who has to embellish his thin resume.

Obama was the weakest candidate on Dec 2007 but came ahead of Hillary in the primary. He will have the nomination in Jesus’s name. She is not the strongest candidate in the Democratic primary how can she be in the general election….please stop that nonsense. She blames the caucuses for lagging behind, blamed sexism and now wants to blame the DNC rule she signed…..
Go Obama at least you have shown the Clinton that “talk is cheap”

Hillary ran against Obama’s most powerful surrogate, the Obama media. Except for FOX, they are all pro-Obama.
The only reason they finally reported on Rev. Wright was because they had no choice, the internet and talk radio was inundated with Rev. Wright after the tape was released.
Hillary should be the nominee. She is the stronger candidate. Not surprising that the dems once again want to pick the weakest candidate.

“Republicans and Independents are supporting Barack Obama in unprecedented numbers”
Over 17,000,000 people are still behind Hillary! Just shut your mouth and wait for all the votes counted!
We hope Hillary will run as Independent and your candidate will have no chance whatsoever in November! I have always voted for Democrat. However, this party can no longer be trusted if they are willing to promote someone likes Obama, who seems to be popular on the surface but shallow within!

The whole country is laughing at the “Democratic” party. First she said she’d abide by party rules re: MI and FL. Until Obama started winning. Now she wants to try to steal the election by changing the rules after the vote, like Al Gore tried to do in 2000. Now it will be decided by a bunch of elitist superdelegates. Nice job Dean.

A person who is best equipped will win the game. In this game Obama is better equipped and he is winning. Clinton..she just want power. It took some time for her to realize what’s going on. I had lot of respect for Clinton’s but now that’s gone. Think for a minute what would have happened if the democrats hadn’t supported Clinton during impeachment, I am sure they wouldn’t have earned the millions. She is disgusting..Yes, I mean Clinton’s are disgusting.

I have heard and seen HRC is winning BIG!!!. Despite that BO leads among the pledged and super delegates at least by 205 That’s more than 15% point right there. Why??? Because someone is whining too much. Because someone wants the White House back so desperately so that they could continue the Saga that started in 1993. We don’t need part II of the Saga “Revenge of the Monica Lewinski”. So if you can’t face truth, go vote for McCain, help make US the newest member of the 3rd world countries, US$ is worth almost 20% less than a year ago, beg for more money from China, India, Russia, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore (Saudis and Oil rich countries only loans money to Al-Qaeda) only to blow it up in IRAQ. Pave the way to a brighter future for our children and grand children living in slums and working in McDonald while watching our bond holder’s sons and daughters graduating from MIT, Harvard and Cornell, going back to their countries since there won’t be any high paying jobs. McCain is wrong, he does not understand economics; it won’t take 100 years, just two more terms of McCain to achieve the McCain’s version of American dream.
