Kerry needs to get on the bus along with Kennedy, Daschle, Pelosi and the whole DNC. Get rid of the "really, really old politics".

I will be watching. If John Kerry tells Clinton to get out of the race I may explode, but I will watch. Donna Brazile it trying hard to be neutral but I wish she'd fight harder to count the votes in FL and MI. Without those votes counted I can't see myself voting for Obama. Nader will get my vote as a protest. Dems cannot have my support unless they count the votes.

Where was Kerry and Kennedy during the Rev. Wright fiasco ? Why weren't they at Obama side supporting him? They are trying to hard to make him president, which he will not be. You think the Republican aren't ready for him. They want him to be the nominee, McCain for sure will get in. Why is the DNC so blind to this fact? American people are not going to all vote for Obama, there are those Americans that can see right through him, for what he really is , a pathological liar. He lied about Rev. Wright, he lied about taking donations from PAC and lobbyist and He lied about Rezko, he knew he was a player and still put him and his wife on his US senate run, financial committee.

It is somewhat amazing how the only thing the people who post here can talk about is Jeremiah Wright. No, one talk about the statements made by Ed Rendell that no white man will vote for Barack or his statement in November 06 after he won the governer that his margin would not be so large if he was running against a white person. Because he is white, those statements are all a part of normal conversation

WRIGHT IS A HUGE ISSUE, JUDGEMENT ON OBAMA. WHAT WOULD CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT OBAMA IS NOT ELECTABLE? IF HE CAN BY PASS THIS ISSUE, THEN HE MINE AS WILL LIGHT A JOINT AND HAVE A GREAT TIME IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

It is time for the Democratic Party to unite after the Pennsylvania primary is completed. The longer this goes on, the more it divides the party. Let put aside racial politics and vote your choice.

Obama may talk about wanting new politics but he surrounds himself with some mighty old losers, Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson, Leahy and Dodd. They should all get out of town and let the people decide. Last I checked, we had a democracy. They are willing to overlook all of Obama's weaknesses and shove him down out throats. Well I am protesting with a vote for Nader. Both parties do not represent my values and I hope many others do the same, in both parties.

I'll be watching with interest! I stopped watching Chris Matthews and Meet the Press (and MSNBC and CNN) months ago with their lack of ability to be neutral.
I like Rendell (I lived in Pa years ago). But as for Kerry, he is the candidate I remember people not voting 'for' but voting 'against' Bush.

I stopped watching MSNBC quite a long time ago. Why should I watch a network that is a 24 hour informercial for Obama. MSNBC is everything that is wrong with America. Corrupt and willing to brainwash peoples votes.

What's Lieberman there for? To give the republican side.

Kerry learned that by not responding swifty enough to the swiftboat attacks - he lost the argument
This lesson was not lost on Sen Obama who the very night the tapes of Rev Wright started to be shown - went on three major cable outlets to address the issue
I think Kerry wishes he had actly differently at the time and admires how Obama handled this
This was not an issue for surrogates - this was an issue for the candidate himself to handle and Obama did
Those who want to try and keep stoking the Rev Wright flame are free to do so -but most people want to talk about the ecomony, the war, the energy crisis, the housing collapse, the cost of college etc
And most people clearly see Sen Obama has a better grasp of the overall change in direction and tone the country needs to veer toward to start to make the core institutionalized changes to the banking - finance - military - academic institutions running this country
The problems this country has cannot be easily fixed or papered over. There needs to be a core fundamental transformation in the direction of the country.
What someone's pastor/rabbi/priest says
are not public fodder to be judged especially when presented in the "greatest hits of stupidest remarks ever said" by a religious person --- this country has a separation of church and state
Most people are worried about the state of their own union -- and who can best move things forward
give it up people -- move on

Nice speech Alison.
Wanna tell us HOW Obama is going to make all these 'changes'?
Do republicans in the house and senate magically just bow down and do everything he wants?
What Obama wants to do is in direct conflict to the entire Republican platform .
Do you think Obama's 'schtick' that works on left wingers and youth , will NEVER work on seasoned republican politicians.
You have this Wizard of Oz view that obama just will get whatever he wants because you are brainwashed by the liberal media who is giving him whatever he wants.
You are sorely mistaken that a Guy with no experience and dubious judgment is going to all of a sudden do a better job than anyone in history.

Barak Hussein Obama? Why isn't he using his middle name? Is he ashamed of his heritage? Does this mean that he is ready to hide his soul to be the next nominee? How is he going to sign the presidential documes? As Barak Obama or Barak Hussein Obama? Last year on PBS he was using his middle name to show that he can bring everyone together but for the last several months, his campaing targets everyone that mentions Husseins name? He is as uniter as President Bush was a compassinate conservative.

alison, it is separation of church and state, all right, except when you have a minister and spiritual advisor honoring Farakkan while preaching hate and devisivenss against America. It might not have been on the radar, except that is the opposite of what Obama started his campaign with. "Yes, we can!" "Audacity of Hope". Bringing everyone together in unity, across the aisle, across the world? Are we crazy, or what? We are not stupid. The logic speaks for itself.

The Rendell, Kerry, and Lieberman Roundtable: Kerry has lost all believability with me. I voted for him in 2004, but what has happened to him? He and Ted decided that a new untried face would make everyone fall down and worship a "genius"? Someone so green is not ready to be President. No one but Obama has created his own negatives. Kerry should have known more about him. He is not presidential and many Democrats will not vote for him. I do not agree with Lieberman's support of George Bush, but, he is not afraid to stand by his own convictions. It will be interesting to hear their discussion. Gov. Rendell speaks for me, and I hope he can enligten the rest of the country.

The last time I checked I thought we were a democracy. How dare the old men ask Hillary to get out of the race. I just sent in another donation for Hillary. Too bad all this info on Barack didn't come out long ago. I wonder how many voters would like to change their vote. Another point - look at what Obama's wife has said many times. Her statements are directly connected to Rev. Wright's philosphy. Too bad this isn't brought up more.

Let's here it for Michael Nutter, way to stand up for what is right and what you believe in and not be afraid of this constituency or that constituency! Confront racism head on, not after listening to it for 20 years and speaking up when it is political desperation! This is why Philadelphia loves you and Ed Rendell!

It's true as someone else here said. What joke is this? NO ONE listens to or wants to listen to John Kerry. He's a long time long winded loser. You sure gave hims a lot of uninterrupted talk time George. Do you know how to "facilitate" when someone is doing that? He didn't answer your questions - just like his candidate Obama - and he went on and on with what HE wanted to say. I felt like it was the John Kerry new hour. I turned of the sound and left the room came back and he was still talking when I got back. John Kerry is an old boys club member. For someone claiming to be different Obama is a cozy as Snow White with the old trolls around him. It would be nice to have seen see you check Mr. Kerry and let Gov Rendell talk. Go back and do some timing and check that one out for how long Gov. Rendell got to speak. I know I was waiting to hear him and it barely happened. Mimics the general media bias that's been talked about. I expect much more from you George. Kerry makes me sick - and I'd like him to send me my money back. People of Massachusetts should fire him and Kennedy in their next elections. They don't represent the People - they represent themselves. Leahy and Welch from VT also. Hillary is going to the convention floor and she's bringing 50%++ of Democratic voters with her. What don't they get about simple math? They are just bus trying to "spin" it into "win". Doesn't "add up". They can forget it.

Finally; it has been said; HOW the full FIX will be carried out! THE CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE!
NO WOMAN( especially Hillary) will be Allowed the Nomination! No one has vetted Obama enough! Especially; his 20 years serving in the Southside of Chicago! Show how he improved schools there!(30% absenteeism because of violence) Ophra showed this on her program in 2006! Daley political machine is not NEW politics!
