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

Hillary save us from a president Rev. Wright!

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!

So, she's sending charts and graphics with the daily changing poll data to the super delegates to show that she's more electable?

It's hard to win an argument that your electable when you can't even win a primary election.

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.

Unfortunately Rendell is one of those people who would never vote for Obama and unfortunately he will never admit it.

The entire Clinton camp still cannot face the fact that someone like Obama can actually takes away the White House they think they are so entitled to. Fortunately, 21st-century white, black and multi-colored Americans have a different idea.

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 !!!!

Delusion:
a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact

I think Sen. Clinton is delusional.

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.

Check out the polls and the facts and all can see why Obama is a very weak canidate and will lose the general election.

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

n912 - those polls change daily and don't account for the next several months of campaigning, veep choices, etc.

It's unrealistic to hold up those polls (they don't all show her ahead.) with the assumption that they are set in stone. Several out today have Obama winning greatly vs. McCain.

Like I said, delusional.

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.

As an ardent Clinton supporter, I'm opposed to any ticket that places Clinton in the VP slot. Nobody votes on the basis of the vice president. If Obama is the nominee, he's going to lose - let him lose all by himself.

Clinton owes nothing to the Democratic Party. My fantasy is that she'll leave and make an independent run.

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!

Way to go President Hillary!!!

Hillary won Kentucky and West Virginia by a landslide in spite of overspending in ads 3 to 1 by Obama against Hillary. Same thing that happened in Indiana and Pennsylvannia. Obama is expected to win both Indiana and North Carolina since February. But, Hillary won Indiana and cut Obama's lead in North Carolina from 20% in February down to 14% in spite of ad overspending by Obama.

Wake up media people or wake up superdelegates. Hillary even won consecutively in Ohio, Texas (Obama lost even he was endorsed by the Traitor Bill Richardson), and Pennsylvannia. Not to mention the other big states such as California (Obama lost in California even though Oprah, Maria Shriver, and Katherine Kennedy endorsed him), Massachusetts (Obama lost Massachusetts even though Kennedy and John Kerry endorsed him), Arkansas, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Florida (both of them are in the ballot) that are crucial in November. Hillary has the most electoral college votes based in these big states.

If you want a Democrat to win then Hillary should be the choice. HILLARY WON THE BIG STATES AND THE SWING STATES. If Hilalry is not the nominee, we will vote for McCain. African Americans are so unfair voting 9 to1 against Hillary not like the white people who fair and thinks who is the best candidate. Who is being racial now? This racial thing about Black has been OVERUSED, MISUSED and ABUSED by these people. Obama, the Obama camp, Clyburn, Wright and others can not fool us anymore. Stop this non-sense.

Wake up superdelegates! Wake up media people.

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.

Rendell jokes about it but the reality of it all, who is making a big deal about McCain not wearing a flag pin? Or Hillary?
Why don't they just cross the line and work for the republicans, since they seem to be writing their commercial scripts for them.
Its just like everything else, the brown skin requires Obama do so much more, in every aspect, than any other candidate.

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!!!!

lynne When you have a canidate that knows hardly anything about how to be president and he certainly can not hold his own in a debate. Mccain will tear Obama apart in the general election. Oh and a lot of people do not know this yet but the Republicans have some things about Obama and his wife that will come out in October that will send Obama back to Chicago.

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

I hope FL and MI are so pissed off they don't vote.

The bonehead is going to destroy everything.

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!!!!

All those HRC supporters, Please GO AWAY!

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.

OK, if the flag pin is such a big deal...let's consider that they are made in China. They might have been made in the USA prior to NAFTA, which Clinton supported before she didn't.

So, instead of some insane proof of patriotism, why not consider it proof that you supported an idea that might not have been so great to begin with?

Or as support of Chinese capitolism?

And I can't tell you the last time I heard West Va and Ky used as a positive in an argument....
just goes to show that you should never say never right?

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!

If Obama wins the Democratic Party nomination, I am sitting it out at home even if this is my first time to vote. Obama is way over his head for the job. Go Hillary! Run as an independent.

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.

Melvin Obama is not beating Hillary the DNC and superdelegates are. They are not going to let a woman become President because they can not stand for someone of the opposite sex to have that much power. They would and will lose the general election to prove so. And just because people do not vote for Obama does not mean they are racist. It just means they are smart enough to know they do not want the country to go down the drain.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lynne, learn how to speak and write good grammar before any criticsm.

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.

Obama would be a disaster

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.

What a jerk!!! Why would you try and hurt the eventual nominee of your OWN party????

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

Clinton was a disaster in the White House. She lobbyied on her husband's behalf for NAFTA. Worked out agreements as NY senator to outsource jobs to the Indian firm TATA. The list goes on. She's been a PROVEN disaster for some time.

You can only speculate on Obama.

My bet is totally on him.

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.

I look for Obama to win the general election. It would help if Hillary was his running mate.

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.

Rendel is right and DNC will elect the weak nominee to compete against McCain.

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

While I disagree with Rendell on Hillary Clinton, I do have an immense amount of respect for the man, both personally and politically. He would be an ideal running mate for Obama because his primary strength is economics. He financially turned Philadelphia around in two terms as Mayor and the PA State budget is in phenomenal shape after he strong-armed both sides into playing nice rather than engaging in partisan bickering. He'd be a good VP to tackle the economy.

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.

The Convention's going to be fun!

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 ...

I've read the comments, and I'm sorry, but I'm still predicting Obama in the general election. I am not voting for him, by the way. At least not at this point.

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.....

I wish more Superdelegates would think the way Mr Rendell does and say loudly about this.
Good for you Mr Rendell and thank you.

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 don't see the Democratic party uniting this fall. The DNC, along with Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, and Kerry have destroyed any hopes of unity. The divisiveness is too strong now, and too late to start the healing process. I wish it wasn't so, but it's true. We can't blame Clinton or Obama, they are both GREAT candidates....I blame the DNC, and the StuperDelegates (yes "stuper"), they have destroyed our party beyond repair this year. McCain will be elected, Hillary will go back to New York, Barack back to Illinois, and Americans will wonder what coud've been! I vote we get rid of the game players that have destroyed us this year!

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!

Obama and Hillary could be campaigning together within two weeks if they come to an agreement. This would avoid a delay and a convention floor fight. They're so close on the issues, there's really no reason not to. I look for this team to be strongly considered this week by both camps.

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

We believe Hillary will win.

She has the popular vote.

She is experienced, and the one who can go up against McCain.

She is for ALL the people, and a fighter.

Just what we need for the president.

I am not going to say anything negative about Obama, like Obama supporters do Hillary. Let's stop thie negative comments.

Go Hillary!!

For Hillary 100%

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.

I will be rep if obama is elected

Hillary or McCain '08

Don't let party "leaders" pick the weak black guy over a strong woman.

Rendell, why wait until the DNC makes a ruling? Start your whining early. There is no documentation that Hillary is the stronger candidate. So you can cry, cry, cry all you want and Hillary is not going to win. Go home.

your right kerry

Rendell ran PA into the ground since being elected and now he's throwing hints that he would make a good VP.....PLEASE, now he wants to run the country into the ground. He's an idiot.

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!

Also, I don't want to see Hillary Clinton ANYWHERE NEAR the White House in any official capacity other than to visit! NO to VP. There are a lot of far better VP candidates that that lying hypocrite, Hillary Clinton and her buffoon husband.

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!

Over 17 million votes AGAINST William and Hillary Clinton. Who cares if Obama wins or loses. Vote for McCain, so what! There will be no more Clintons in the White House!!!

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

It's amazing how someone can be considered a stronger candidate, after they started with more money, more name recognition, the Democratic Party machine behind them and a popular ex-president pushing them and still find themselves losing.

Seems a little self-serving to me.

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

So he is in that same law suite Hillary and Bill are in. So why would he not say this.

She is scum and so is he. If you people only knew all that they are hiding.

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.

marcman it has always been about Hillary Clinton. She cares nothing about the party...

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?

I think Hillary should run as an Independent - she would be both of them.
Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants?

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

IF NOT CLINTON, THEN MCCAIN, THEN CLINTON. OBAMA IS A BLACK CARTER. WEAK...

I HOPE CLINTON RUNS INDEPENDENT!!!

Rick Johnson, sexism is WRONG just like racism. Let's get over these prejudices. I just don't like the Clintons because they are sleasy, lying hypocrites. Nothing else.

Wisconsin for one

Hillary Clinton I am so proud of you. Thank you for your efforts to continue to fight for the millions of people who support. Thank you for addressing the issues that matter to many Americans, universal healthcare, affordable education, the war in Iraq, the economy, and our environment. Thank you for not quiting even though there are many people who hate and who are jealous of your achievements. There are still many more people who do love you and believe God sent you to us to serve Him and do His will. God Bless You and I cannot wait till you become the next President of the United States this January 2009. GO HILLARY! GO HILLARY! FIGHT! FIGHT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SUPPORTIN YOU ALL THIS TIME. WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE. YOU ARE A WONDERFUL LADY AND YOU ARE THE BEST CANDIDATE IN THIS ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. GO HILLARY! KEEP FIGHTING FOR US!

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.

Obama will have a task before him if he is nominated. He will need to convince Democrats that he'll be a good president. He'll need to convince white voters that the color of your skin does not control your destiny. He'll need to convince women voters that he is the best choice for their interests. I think he can do all of this. I think he just needs to be given the time. I think he will have enough time. And the superdelegates also think this. In the end, it does no matter if he loses. What matters is that the Democrats practiced what they preached- equal justice, equal treatment, and that every boy- or girl- can indeed be President. This is the true triumph. Not the Presidency.

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

Get your facts straight. HRC wanted a revote that allowed only people who voted the first time to cast a vote - duh? Obama rightfully blocked it. This meant that Undecideds could vote again but people who played by the rules could not. Guess playing by the rules means you get penalized? Icke demanded disenfranchising 100% of all Florida and Michigan delegates and arm twisted the Committee to agree with him. Icke as in the HRC campaign. The rest would have settled for 50%. Go skewer him. Look up old reports in the media archives. Why were you not all howling and screaming last August 2007? Now he wants to change the rules again since Big Tuesday did not produce a winner. What kind of Americans are you who want to change rules mid-stream? I thought fair play and all of that stuff was the American way. Florida and Michigan were disenfranchised long before Big Tuesday. Refer me to HRC statements where she protests that decision before that date! Yes, HRC agreed to the disenfranchisement because she did not think she would need the votes. So much for being ready to hit the ground on Day 1. And, how much is she going to be able to contribute to the DNC campaign chest? Nada, zip, zilch, because she is deep in debt. Why should Obama hand over our contributions to help her election. This 67 year old white LOL who has a decent education and still holding a decent paying job finds nothing in HRC to represent me. I did it my way on my own two feet and stomped over nobody. She has used name recognition all along and whined all the way about this and that, left conspiracies, right conspiracies, sexism, ad nauseum. The woman has never had to get a real job in the open market place and work for promotions like many of us women have had to based on real experience not as the wife of. I have been a Dem for 43 years, but will not support a Party that cannot set rules, keep them, and allow cheating. Obama supporters think he is the stronger candidate based on numbers so stop trying to shove that HRC is the most electible down our throats. Now caucuses are unfair? They got Bill Clinton into office! She presumed too much because she is a Clinton. And? Break time over. Back to work.

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.

It is a shame that in this day and age we still have super delagates! It is horrible. I believe with all my heart and soul that Hillary is the best and ONLY candidate to go up against Mr. McCain. So, thanks to all of you that will now push this country into further messes. Hillary in 2012!!!

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.

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!
