You all are so jealous of the Clintons. They are great public servants and we need to respect what they have done and will continue to do for us. We need to be proud of them. VOTE FOR HILLARY

Gosh, it's so hard to fault Penn for not thinking much about conflicts-of-interest when he's working for the candidate without a conscience. Birds of a feather.

Is Obama free from anything negative??? We only see his pictures, videos, and praise on CNN. Give the Clintons a break from the nastiness of the Obama supporters and get some of his negatives on so they can be blogged on. Not everyone finds him perfect and we all know he has faults. Lets get them out in the open for a change.

Colombia is a third world country that is known for cocain. And they dumped Mark Penn – Hillary's top advisor?
What ties do the Clintons really have with the Colombian government? Hmmmm!!!

He is a liar- he already knew that Mark Penn was stepping down/ fired as of last night. He wanted to look like the guy with some kind of decency by suggesting Mark Penn be fired. He already knew this was going to happen.

If the Colombian government can dump Penn, it means he's really no good. And that has being Hillary's "top" advisor all along? Hillary would be "criticizing" NAFTA and her "top" strategist would be secretly meeting and promoting NAFTA with the Colombians! Fooling the American people! George Bush's way is ten times better than this. The bottomline is, Penn is still around "advising the Clintons on how to fool Americans. Always the dirty politics.

The Clinton campaign has run aground. And the captain doesn't know what to do. The phone is ringing. It's mid day. She doesn't pick it up. Her first mate, who steered the ship into the shore, quits, but says he's stay around to help. And the captain? She stands there, gape mouthed, unable to make a decision or a statement that rings true..... It's over....

Rendell just seems like such a down to earth guy. I really enjoy watching him on the news programs. I can understand what he is talking about. Yes, Penn had to go after what he did. It is so hard to figure out why these things happen. Why does someone jeaporidze their position like this? I know he needs to make a living when he is not working the elections, but seems self-destructive on his part.
I think Hillary needs to keep him close, but he pulled a knit wit move.

Rendell is an idiot! His most compelling argument this morning was the "electoral vote" lead that Hillary has. Seriously, will they ever stop changing the goal posts in this race? Maybe they were never taught to follow ACTUAL rules when they were young!

Come on PA and NC...help us end this!!!!

Rendell, as with everyone who has attempted to triangulate for the Clintons has lost any legacy or respect. That a Democrat governor can imply that the white, undereducated and impoverished voters in his state will not support an African-American is astonishing. Concerning the Penn dismissal, the other show will drop. We can only guess what HRC shenanigan this is intended to cover up. We have had sixteen years of fatuous self-centered nonsense from George W and Billy Jeff. Our baby boomer presidents have been abysmal failures. We don’t need anymore Monica, Bosnian sniper fire, preemptory wars. Hillary is allowing McCain, an irrational warmonger to redefine himself while she and her husband stand attempting to bar the door to transformational change in this country. Clinton needs to get of the presidential primary. This despicable chameleon needs to crawl back under her self-righteous rock.

Next Up: WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, earned about $200,000 on the board of a Long Island subprime lender that charged prepayment penalties – a practice that Clinton, a critic of the subprime industry, now seeks to eliminate. Williams, who took over the reins of Clinton's campaign in early February, served as a director on the board of the Woodbury-based Delta Financial Corp. from April 2000 until the firm declared bankruptcy in December, according to Securities and Exchange Commission records.

It would appear that Penn is a big problem, Clinton's employees and advisers all seem to be suffering from stupidity. Ed Rendell reminds me of a used car salesman, Hillary's tale of woe about the uninsured women was BS along with most of her campaign. We do not need another term by the team from Whitewater, Monica, and Jennifer again.

Gov. Rendell can you understand the damage that NAFTA did to your state? If Sen. Clinton opposed NAFTA so why did it take 7 1/2 years for her to speak out about it? What reasurance can yougive the public the Sen. Clinton's campaign did not pay for the trip?

By: Ronald L. Betts

Ronald L. Betts — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:26:08 +0000

Why is it that Obama can threaten Rendell and the news media ignores it? Obama recently had a phone conversation with Rendell indicating he was calling to be sure that he was not going to have any problems in the general election in Pennsylvania. Rendel responded by telling Obama to "not even think five seconds like that". This was clearly a threat by Obama. If I were Rendell I would have told Obama that "Senator, I don't know what the hell you are talking about". If Hillary Clinton would have made a threat like this the news media would have been all over it!

Well, I don't see one positive or good comment for Hillary's campaign. People make mistakes and admit it, then they go on. Get over it. Senator Clinton is strong and a fighter and she will prevail. I am sure there are plenty of mistakes being made in the Obama camp, but people choose to forget about or ignore it. I WILL NOT nor will others!!!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you please post my comment Rendell you need to enjoy now, but when it's time for you to run again you are history!!!! Hillary you just have too many problems on every end of the stick. The Clintons have 109 million dollars to spend go take a vacation and stop making America look so bad. How can you even feel our pain if you not suffering? How come you can't tell us the rest of the missing tax information? How come you have to be so negative and play gender and race card? How come they say you so tuff when you just barely won Texas but loss the caucas? How come you don't care about little states? Well Hillary we are all "one nation under GOD" please remember that.

Hillary should follow in his footsteps and resign herself. She is a lier and her campaign is insulting the intelligence of the American people. Americans need to join together and stop the madness. We had 8 years of being Bushed and the Clinton years were no better.
Bill lied to the American people, Hillary has lied with a straight face and changed her mind so many times that is beyond "mispoken" words. Their is only ONE chance for us and that is OBAMA!

I only hope the people in Pennsylvia are smarter than Clinton and Rendell give them credit for and recognise her distasteful campaign for what it is, totally lacking in integrity.
Penn should be fired and she should return the huge chunks of funding she has received from the health care industries, if she truly intends to bring about much needed reform there.

All I can say when your own top people are doing shady deals behind your back its time to step back. All I been hearing from Hillary is Obama is unexperience and can't run the country, well from what I see she can't run or trust anyone in her campaign. To be honest I taught Mark Penn would be gone a long time ago when Hillary saw that after Super Tuesday no plans had been made and started dropping state after state. Hillary is out for Hillary and Penn is out for Penn problem with Penn is he got caught wonder if Hillary will be also.

Here we go again. First it was the James Bond like action that never took place in Bosnia. Now there are more lies to come from Clinton with no end in sight.

She chaired pushing the NAFTA deal as evidenced through video clips and her tax returns. She preaches she is better but there is nothing better about more of the same and this display of double speak is too loud to ignore.

Now that she is running for president she'll say and do whatever it takes to get elected. I'll never believe her again.

Here's another huge blow to the Democratic Party's chances of winning the Presidency–courtesy again of Hillary and Billary. Their misstatements and lack of control over their advisers are either the result of bold-faced lying, bold-faced incompetence and inexperience, or a combination of both.

Obama has money coming in from lobbiest too. If you believe he doesn't then you are believe the TRUE LIES.

It happens in both campaigns

The difference is Clinton is fighting the media as well as the Obama campaign attachs as well as him out spending her and I must say to have those two against her she is holding her own.

SO with that said he cannot win in Nov. without her. As she can't win without him

He has campaigned a few times to be VP on somebody's ticket – it was on KYW here in PA. He is bought and paid for by the Clintons, and is not credible."

I hope to see this get a lot more coverage, especially if she continues to pay him. It will then be painfully obvious that she is lying about opposing NAFTA/CAFTA. Hopefully PA voters are paying attention....
