Clinton marched in Pittsburgh's St. Patrick's Day parade Saturday. (Getty Images)

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) – There was no red or blue politics Saturday, only green as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton marched in this city's annual St. Patrick's Day parade.

It was the first of two holiday parades for the New York senator. She travels to Scranton in eastern Pennsylvania to take part in that city's St. Patrick's Day festivities later in the day.

Pennsylvania is the next big battleground in the race for the White House. There are 158 delegates at stake when the state holds its primary on April 22.

Clinton marched about two miles on the parade route through downtown Pittsburgh. Thousands of people lined the streets, cheering and screaming, some holding green signs that said "Clinton Country" with others that said O'Bama. At times there were mini-sign wars, all in good Irish fun.

However, some boos could be heard as Clinton passed a multi-tiered parking garage, and one man held a handwritten sign that said "Hillary you are a SHAM and have the personality of a ROCK."

Clinton wore a green American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees scarf. Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato, who have all endorsed the senator, marched alongside her.

At the end of the parade Clinton addressed a crowd, saying, "May the luck of the Irish be with us all." An announcer called the Clintons "great friends of the Pittsburgh Irish."

Clinton has Pennsylvania to herself Saturday. Rival candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois is campaigning in Indiana, which holds its primary two weeks after Pennsylvania's. And Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, is on his way to Europe and the Middle East for a week long congressional trip. McCain campaigned in Pennsylvania on Friday.

I am so glad to read you gave space to the idiot in the crowd.

We Deserve The Govt. We Get   March 15th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

Why should the Hillary have to comment? She has Fox News doing her dirty work for her. I can't understand why Fox News just doesn't come out and endorse John McCain.

The same people who put Bush back in office for four more years, are the very ones who will vote for Hillary or McCain. You will get what you deserve and don't blame the rest of us who really tried to change the country.

Ryan from Indiana   March 15th, 2008 10:05 pm ET

You keep hearing of Obama supporters being rude. Crashing Clinton rallies, heckling Bill, holding up signs that say "Iron my shirt." Here they're booing and waiving more signs.

The Obama campaign seems to be causing more division then anyone else. They're the most out spoken on unity and acceptance, but seem to demonstrate ACTIONS that suggest otherwise.

But then, what are actions compared to lofty rhetoric, right?

HILLARY, WAR & FEAR MONGER   March 15th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

Wow, this isnt a publicity stump in the next big primary at all. This was just a simple innocent parade, on the campaign trail.

vincie   March 15th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

HILLARY WAS IN NORTHEASTERN PA (SCRANTON) FOR ST PATRICKS DAY PARADE. SHE WAS WELCOMED WITH GREAT AFFECTION FROM OUR PEOPLE. THEY LOVE HER. SHE WILL COME OUT NE PA WITH A LARGE VOTE. SHE WILL ALSO WIN PGH. OBAMA WILL CARRY THE BLACK VOTE. AT THIS TIME, I DON'T BELIEVE INDEPENDENT VOTERS WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA. MAYBE I'M WRONG, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE SO, THIS THING WITH REV WRIGHT IS REALLY GETTING PEOPLE ANGRY.

HILLARY NEEDS TO EXIST FROM THE RACE GRACEFULLY

Doug Wilder   March 15th, 2008 9:17 pm ET

Hillary you start campaigning in Indiana too. You can win that with Byah. Obama lacks spine and character as shown by his late reluctant rejection of Rev Wright after so many years. He did it only for political purposes, not because he wanted to. Such a hypocrite.

me, da burgh--undecided voter   March 15th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

for the record...I do not mean directly next to her...that's Dan Onarato...I mean the guy on Onarato's right. SOrry for the unclear statement.

me, da burgh--undecided voter   March 15th, 2008 9:02 pm ET

see that guy to Clinton's right? That's the mayor of PGH. He is super young and pretty much on the leash of some older politicians in the city. In the recent past, he had supported Obama. Then, when the governor supported Clinton, hoping to get into the federal government, our honorable mayor switched his position in favor of Clinton (presumbly in an attempt to move up in the ranks–perhaps to governer). Poor soul, already corrupted by the old-school politics that are Hilary Clinton

shocked!   March 15th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

Wow, CNN wrote a nice story about Hillary! Wow! never say never! Must be a slow day at CNN!

DEM   March 15th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

The people of Pennsylvania has a mind and know who the Clinton works and can plant certain chains of events. Can we really trust Hillary and will Bill Clinton Control himself? or Will we see Bill Clinton act like the old New York Governor?

joe   March 15th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

Hey CNN, who cares about St. Patrick's Day and the people holding rude signs about Clinton any more??? HEY PEOPLE - with your help, we are electing our first BLACK JESUS - what could be better than that? - but weren't we supposed to be electing a president? No matter - Jesus sounds better anyway - and that's what's it all about - the speeches.

Hillary's...Stubborness   March 15th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

Hillary will not release her earmarks.

Close observers of yesterday's reports on the efforts of McCain and Obama to get Sen. Clinton to disclose her earmark requests going back to 2001 may have noticed a strange thing about the statement her office issued at the end of the day.

It said all manner of things about earmarks, and moratoriums, and funding, and accountability. But it never said whether she would disclose her earmark requests going back to 2001.

We spent today back-and-forthing a few more times by e-mail with her press office, and the exchanges made it pretty clear that the oversight was intentional. The plan seems to be that since the NY press has never obsessed over Hillary's earmark requests, she can safely not release them as long as she doesn't say she won't and doesn't say why she won't.

"Clinton goes green ..."

So we're even for at least one day, as I go green every thime I think of her possibly sitting in the Oval Office.

Dennis   March 15th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

Simply shameless. Rather than coming up with reasons to vote for her, she tries to cut down Obama by scaring people not to vote for him.

Clinton is green with envy over Obama.

i read this quickly. did i miss HOW we all would be able to 'go green' if she's elected without having to be wealthy? how many jobs, where they would be, how are we going to get carbon from coal plants already in place, how are we going to get rid of the radioactive nuclear waste, etc. that would be a since GREEN headline...

Dale   March 15th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

Go Clinton! You looked very nice in the parade, I bet Obama wouldn't have marched in a parade. Vote Clinton!

ZMan   March 15th, 2008 7:52 pm ET

If the Dems want J.MCAIN in the white house they should have a revote. You dont make the rules as you play the game. After crying foul about Al Gore winning the popular vote and loseing the election to Bush. If they go in the back room and come out with thier own candidate and not who we all voted for .. its over. 4 more years of bombs and bullets. Bank on it Hillary.. do whats right for your party.

mary tan   March 15th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

i do agree what about Nancy Pelosi said, the superdelegate not the way to go

Frank Smith   March 15th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

The Republicans will replay all thess mess for the Dems in the general election, and the Dems will not like it!!

As an example, soon, I expect to see videoclips of

"I never.. to that woman, Monica Lewinsky.."
plus
Interviews with Paula with a question such as:

If Hillary cannot control Bill, how can we expect her to control the men in her potential cabinet? Folks, stay tuned!!! This will only get uglier, if you cannot get back on track!

"She travels to Scranton in eastern Pennsylvania to take part in that city's St. Patrick's Day festivities later in the day."

Well, she was late and held up the Scranton parade at least an hour and got a lot of people ANGRY! The Scranton parade is seen as one of the largest in the country.

Jim   March 15th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Pay attention to Irish politics?

They LOVE the Clintons – best US friends they had in years. Remember, President Clinton hosted Gerry Adamms; President-elect George W. Bush, when asked if he would extend an invite to Gerry, responded would not be hosting "any of those terrorists".

Enough said.

IRISH MEN FOR HILLARY!

hillary is green on many things when it comes to the presidency of the USA

Jim, Indiana   March 15th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Pennsylvania will help the Democratic party finally get Hillary into the place she so much deserves-the nominee.

As for her rival, jumping ahead to Indiana so early shows that he is conceding Pennsylvania.

Indiana has heard a lot about Obama's unclear past with Tony Rezko, as our Illinois neighbor, but many Hoosiers are backing Hillary for her long record and her more serious proposals for the US.

Go Hillary!!!

JB Boston   March 15th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Tom   March 15th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

One man held a handwritten sign that said "Hillary you are a SHAM and have the personality of a ROCK."

It just shows that Obama supporters are as hateful as his Paster...

Voting for Obama shows how much you hate America, its a simple as that, his paster his wife hates "whites" and the country that gave them freedom.

I wish people would start booing BO for his hateful fans!

Clinton or McCane 08'

Charlotte   March 15th, 2008 2:55 pm ET

Pennsylvania voters are smart people and will vote for the best candidate, Hillary Diane Clinton. Hope Obama turns green with envy....

Leah DiMarco, TX   March 15th, 2008 2:55 pm ET

Clinton campaigning = pandering.

I didn't see her at the Italian Christopher Columbus Day parade.

Looking good in green .

Rich   March 15th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

Hillary took credit for starting St. Patricks day. She visited Ireland more than once, so her claim does make sense.

Jorge from California   March 15th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

you guys love Clinton... you are disgusting... and your coverage its unfair and SO BIAS towards Clinton that it will cost you a lot!! the youth of this country is realizing what you are doing!!

Jose Card - Independent   March 15th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

While McCain is leaving to meet with leaders of France, Briton and Israel, Hillary goes green in Pitts.

It's just a totally different level of qualifications we are talking about between Hillary and McCain. I love Irish everything, but I would expect much more in our future president.

Parading in public requires a lot more secret service and local police to protect the former first lady. Senior Cpl. Victor Lozada-Tirado died of a motorcycle crash in Dallas, TX last February, while protecting Hillary. Is this parade necessary even if it weren't on taxpayers' money?

Mollie   March 15th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Will this woman stop at nothing ? I bet she was shocked when she heard the boos in her beloved Pennsylvania. It's to bad people there can't see through her lies and desperation. What a joke this woman is. Of course her best buddy Rendell was with her. Do the people there know how much he is behind some of her corruption ? Look up Mr. Paul, it will tell a lot.

CARL   March 15th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

go hillary go. PA should vote for hillary BIG TIME.

its go time for hillary clinton.
she would be better for the united states as president.

GOOD LUCK hillary clinton.

Ted   March 15th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

It seems like Hillary will get the opportunity to shake every Pennsylvania Voter's hand between now and their primary day in April. Looks like she's planning on doing just that.

Hillary unsensord visit youtube. get the picture yourself.   March 15th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

That is good to know.

JCB   March 15th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

Go Hillary! I hope the voters of Pennsylvania look at your record and vote you a landslide. Now that Obama is really coming under scrutiny, some of his backers should wake up. Really O, you cannot go to a church for twenty years and not know of the teachings and political beliefs of its pastor, who is your "like an uncle." So, Michelle? Are you proud to be an American now? When questions of race, natioanl pride, and national security arise, all Americans need to study and reflect. Go Hillary - she is not ashamed of the red-white-and blue!

hrao   March 15th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

Go Hillary! Why is Obama not there? I thought he was a chameleon and he could be green also?

RC   March 15th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Clinton is doing what she worked for all her life. She is a down to earth person and participates with people of all religious, economic and ethnic backgrounds. I applaud her for her participation. Even in the Louisiana Black forum, she was there, sharing and participating with the black community(Unlike Obama, who chose not to participate). Believe me, it is hard to wake up every morning to share and give your time to all peoples of all walks of life. This is the commitment that Hillary has. Believe me, this is commitment. God will reward her. She will win the nomination and go on for the presidency.

LadyG   March 15th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

Go away lady, please go away...You've shamelessly divided our party...You make me feel ashamed to call myself a democrat--please go away lady, it's like you'r the republican running against a democrat...Pretty soon you will be one of the most hated figure in America(next to Bush)

Hillary will win because she is brilliant and women will realize that their dreams rest with her. Lets have a woman who is experienced deal with the vast problems America is faced with. For those who attack Hillary ad hominem I have only to say that Americans are much smarter than you think and these type of attacks will not matter. Go Hillary!!! VOTE FOR HILLARY AND SEE THE AMERICA WE DESERVE BECOME A REALITY.

Kay-Arizona   March 15th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Interesting that CNN would report the sign that said "Hillary you are a SHAM and have the personality of a ROCK." I guess no one every says anything unkind about Obama or..... CNN just never reports it.
either Obama supporters are much ruder than Clinton supporters, or CNN is kinder to Obama.

Trev   March 15th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Go Hillary! I can't wait for people to accuse her of being racist for marching in a St. Patrick's day parade.

Hillary O' Clinton for President!

Mary Jo in Illinois   March 15th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Thank you for your blog. I knew that Hillary would be marching in today's St. Patrick's day parade, but I am blind. I'm grateful that you described the event. Thanks again CNN.

bakersfield   March 15th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

now i know why obama quit from wearing the pen on his lapel – maybe it was to show the aa community hes unity with them against the us. not trying to be a fear munger but what will happen if obama is not the nominee, maybe riots in the streets of america tearing business's down. i wounder if he would be in the lead if all this rev wright stuff came out earlier.

ABG   March 15th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Pennsylvania is most definitely Clinton Country! Growing up in PA, I know the voters will see beyond all the rhetoric and promises of the other candidate and ask "WHAT HAVE YOU ACOMPLISHED? Hillary will win PA and the nomination. America will wake up and demand a President who can lead and represent ALL of us!

seanwhit   March 15th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Why is Hillary allowed to call out the shots; which states are important and which states are not, calling for the delegates in Florida and Michigan to be seated when she clearly broke her promise and not giving out info regarding earmarks and tax returns. I don't get it.

Saad   March 15th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

I really hope and pray she goes green in her policies too, if elected.

D S   March 15th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

I am happy to see Hillary receiving much so love in Pennsylvania. There is no doubt in my mind that she is the right person to become the nominee and to go on and become President. You see, Barack is a member of a church who has a doctrine of hate and he has known about this man's teaching ever since he's been in law school. I don't know anybody who would sit under a preacher and refer to him as his mentor who teaches hate, especially against our great country and all of a sudden says that he doesn't agree with his views. Barack is a fake and the american people needs to wake up. Just because he wants to become President, all of a sudden he is claiming to cut ties with this man. I don't believe him. Oh, and by the way, this is one black vote Hillary don't have to worry about missing. I voted for her in South Carolina and will vote for her again in November.

Go Hillary, 08

Go Hillary! I hope the voters of Pennsylvania look at your record and vote you a landslide.

Now that Obama is really coming under scrutiny, some of his backers should wake up. Really O, you cannot go to a church for twenty years and not know of the teachings and political beliefs of its pastor, your "like an uncle." I also read a blog by Obama's brother-in-law. It espouses the same rhetoric. So, Michelle? Are you proud to be an American now? When questions of race, natioanl pride, and national security arise, all Americans need to study and reflect.

Obama is also changing his story on business friend. I think his most recent revelations on this issue prove he is less than honest when dealing with his personal issues.

At least with Hillary, what you see is what you get. She has always been under scrutiny. No secrets or bending the truth there.

Arthur-Texas   March 15th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Hillarys energy never ceases to amaze me.This is the type of person that we need as president.She will work just as hard when she is president as she is doing now.
With all of the problem our country faces,Hillary,with her energy and work ethic, will become a great leader for all of us.

NotReadyFor   March 15th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

I truly believe Obama will be the one to beat McCain. To be honest I think women is able to accept a female president, but men are not ready for a female chief. They are use to having a man for president, even if he is black rather than a female for president.

There are still people out there that fell a woman has her place. Being a christian woman I have to agree with that and the bible speaks of that. Where a man and woman should be and the man is head. I feel this is the main reason more men(black and white) are voting for Obama.

Hilary would "Go" anything for her self interest to power, did she again repeat what an Important Part she played in the Irish peace Talks, something Irish Politicians and The Irish Public don't remember!

When are more Voters not going to wake up she is nothing but an actress – running now a very desperate campaign based on lies and smears, Hilary also now wants to change rules that she agreed! and threatens legal action if she does not get her own way, next she will be pleading to those of the "Private Smoked Filled Rooms" to back "The Dynasty" of The Past as Superdelegates.

We want and need CHANGE!

Sam   March 15th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is in PA for St. Paddy's Day where she may again tout her foreign policy experience regarding the Northern Ireland Peace Process....Well, we will never know for sure, will we, until she releases her White House papers. For the time being these are exaggerated claims until she does so...

Bernadette Williams   March 15th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

She's so phoney, now what, she need the irish vote.

Fred   March 15th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Look out Pennsylvania Hillary is bringing her con game. Promises new jobs and fix the economy. Check out the promises in NY she made on jobs. Failed BAD. Maybe she will promis 9.50hr Min. wage Like she promised Texas.

artseafartsea   March 15th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Love Hillary. She is the only viable candidate left in the race. Go Hillary. She will win all the primaries from now on and go on to become the people's candidate.

ross   March 15th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

According to current poles, Pennsylvania may be "Clinton Country." But it won't be in November. Clinton is a fraud. Her experience is exaggerated and as the former Irish Prime minister said, "a wee bit silly." Even Sinbad didn't support her so-called dangerous mission to Kosovo. He told reporters, "The only red phone comment was do we eat here or somewhere else." LOL!

OBAMA 08

John Smith   March 15th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

"I don't see how any democrat can win the nomination without winning:

Texas and Ohio" says Hillary.

Well, both of these states have come and gone.

Now,
"I don't see how any democrat can win the nomination without winning
PA," says Hillary.

This is like the "battered-spouse syndrome: "I don't see how you can ever live without me," after each abusive incident! Is Hillary abusing the Democratic Party?

Sam in Atlanta   March 15th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Why is it that no major news organization posts articles about Hillary Clinton's scandal with Peter Paul???? Isn't she on trial for this??? How come nobody talks about it? This much more severe than Obama's connection with Rezko where nothing was really done, yet all I hear about is Obama and Rezko. What about Hillary and Peter Paul?? Why do the cover her St. Patrick's Day celebrations but not the issues we Americans really care about?

John Dobbins   March 15th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

Obama looks to get irish support from irish ppl in the U.S but where is his support on st patricks day

Sabrina, Las Vegas, NV   March 15th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

*Lol*

Anything to win. I guess Sen. Clinton is hoping on the luck of the Irish for a Democratic nominee win. Well, I have some news for you Sen. Clinton, the luck of a four leaf clover couldn't give you enough delegates in the pot of gold, that your campaign will need, at the end of the rainbow for the nomination.

Sham... Rock too funny.

Jessy in Texas   March 15th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

If anyone has a normal brain or ability to analyze, he/she will firmly find that Hillary is the best for the next president of the United States. Look at Obama, how many bags he has, can you really count? His Mislum background, his Kenya roots, his middle name Hussein, his mother slepted with many Muslim men and he basically never saw or know his father. His minister has been a long time anti-Aemrica and he has grown up under his minister's anti-America spirit and mind, and his wife felt the first time to be proud of America, indicating she had never been proud of America all of her life. Each of these bags hurts, hurts himself and hurts his supporters.

"I don't see how any democrat can win the nomination without winning:

Texas and Ohio" says Hillary.

Well, both of these states have come and gone.

Now,
"I don't see how any democrat can win the nomination without winning
PA," says Hillary.

This is like the "battered-spouse syndrome: "I don't see how you can ever live without me," after each abusive incident!

Hillary is the best!... Who is this Obama person?

Hillary 08' 12'

YES WE WILL!

YES WE WILL!

YES WE WILL!

It's a darn good thing Hillary is not running to be on American Idol. Who cares if she has the personality of a rock? This just show how stupid people are.

Way to Go Hill, you are the next commander in chief and Barrack needs to stop attacking you because you both stand for the same thing and I feel he think he should be commander in chief cause he is what ever race he is claiming and I do not think he knows what way is up!!!

SharonR   March 15th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Obama is a sham who can not win in November 20 years what bad Judgement no way can I vote for him .

kathleen   March 15th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

She is a REAL PHONEY. Very Disliked in America! By whites too.
And Pleeeze She is not IRISH. The Irish would be ashamed of her.
We are not praying that she does not win in PA. I heard she already
offered a job to Rendall as Secretary of Energy. Cronie Phonies hope-
fully not more of them in the White House.

Refired Professional White Woman of 63. Irish and Catholic for
OBAMA from Day 1. He is a good, good man.Withouth a doubt.
He will care about the disadvantaged, really care, Not Phoney care.

The Clintons may be breaking the spirit of the constitution by the wife trying to bring the husband back or vice versa. The constitution does not allow anyone to serve more than two terms. This in spirit I believe will apply to man and wife as "the two shall be one". They must consult together about issues all the time.
An explanation will be welcome.

George, Dallas, Texas   March 15th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

This now a mere attempt to destroy OBAMA. OBAMA has consistently maintained that he does not share some views of Minister Wright and Hilary Clinton Campaign with the aid of the media wants the issue to remain in the public domain. People now see OBAMA as a victim and voters will rally around OBAMA. OBAMA is honest, transparent, and trustworthy; he has the character to be president and the Clinton Machine, the media, and the Right Wingers want to stop him. OBAMA will prevail since he is anointed by GOD.

The media continues to be timid in asking and demanding that Sen. Clinton release her tax returns, White House Records, List of Contributors to the Clinton Presidential Library, and her earmark requests since she became a senator.

carliss   March 15th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

clinton is a scam artist if i ever seen one had geraldine to create a race problem she will soon be brought to light with all her skeletons

Arina   March 15th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

"Clinton country",- sounds like Pennsylvania is striving to become independant. ... In the meantime Hillary looks like she just won the elections. Hope the people of Pennsylvania can change their mind and believe in change.

MCNEIL   March 15th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

GOOD FOR YOU HILARY!!!!!!! THAT IS HE RIGHT THING TO DO......

Tim   March 15th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

USA USA USA, god bless America land that I love!

I actually marched in the Pittsburgh St. Patty's parade two years back. It is a great experience and one that is really geared towards kids. The parade goers hand out candy to all the kids that came down to watch. I'm slightly annoyed that Mrs. Clinton chose to push herself into the parade this year and make it into something that it is not. The parade is not meant to be an election tool or a tool for partisan politics. It is meant as a means of celebrating the Irish heritage of the Three Rivers area.

Additionally, as a Pittsburgh resident, I'm surprised to actually see Governor Rendell. In all my time in Pittsburgh, the governor has been a no show. The city is in bankruptcy and the governor does nothing. It is sad to see that when the city is going into the toilet, Governor Rendell does little to nothing. When the governor needs votes for Mrs. Clinton, he all of a sudden shows up to the area. Just sad.

Bridget   March 15th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Go Hillary!!!

You are THE BEST CANDIDATE I've ever seen!!!

Hill '08!!!

Tim   March 15th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Good job, Hillary. The maythings about you but you have never been anti American! God bless the Irish-Americans and god bless the great country!

Austin, Texas   March 15th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

That Craig guy is a loon. Multiple people with first hand access to the North Ireland peace talks have come out on Hillary behalf. Hillary did play a major role in those peace talks.

Those Obama supporters who showed their support with signs. That is great. Those Obama supporters who felt the need to (boo) and create hateful signs. You're no better than Obama's Pastor of 20 years. There is no room in this political race for ignorant supporters on either side of the campaign.

marge   March 15th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Rendell has his political machine cranked up doesn't he? Wonder what position he's been promised?

marty in Indiana   March 15th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Not surprising. Hillary is showing she is a camilian and can be whatever color she needs to be at the moment. I don't believe anything she says.

William   March 15th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Yep – that's the mark of a true leader. Walking in a parade while people all over get drunk on green beer.

Hey Hill – I have a better idea. Why not join the growing cast of luminaries on Sirius Radio's new Client 9 channel. I'm sure you could add your own unique perspectives, wallow in more sleaze, and maybe get more low-IQ Americans to vote for you.

jj   March 15th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Apparently, BO has conceded Penn to Hillary. He's keeping a low profile in Indiana given the bad news lately about his Pastor and Rezko.

Taj   March 15th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Go, Hillary! Pennsylvania is Clinton Country!
