Rendell has been the Clinton's lapdog for years. I'm not surprised at all by his voting. What happened to his statement that he'd do whatever he could to get Obama elected?

Rendell is a joke…he's acting like a litte school girl who didn't get nominated for prom queen, so he is going to rebel. This is not a game…Rendell needs to save his emotion for his little pink diary he keeps under his pillow…GROW UP!

Thanks Ed! That's what it is all about…help the GOP anyway you can. I sure hope they help you with your re-election!

Dan bring out a very good point about Hillary's debt. Where are her supporters when she needed them. Why is it that she had a huge lead in the polls and then did not win. I don't want to hear about Florida and Michigan. Everyone knew the rules going in to the primaries. Move on and take a look at the big picture. My wife and I changed party affiliations before the last election because we couldn't support the right wing Republicans. After all this, I think we are going to change to Independent. This in-fighting is stupid.

Thank you Gov Rendell for remaining true to yourself. It is to the democratic party's demise to not commit to their own philosophies of their platform. People are/were drawn to the party because the individuals felt it best represented their views. You soon feel confined to the party's views - it doesn't work too well for most of us. The superdelegates "changing their minds" do not feel much like family. Donna Brazile lost any respect I once had for her in her "objectively transparent neutrality." I have always been a free thinker, now more than ever, I am encouraged to reach across party lines and vote. I deduct that McCain will perform better than Obama and sometimes we have a proud moment when we can stand for what we believe. I honestly believe, inclusive of our candidate choices, my message I send to our party outweighs the nonconsequence of my presidential vote.

I hope all the Hillary supporters realize that by their behavior they are making it very and pratically impossible in this life time for her to ever be president one day. I like hillary but her supporters are making me just disgusting her. That said I will never ever again support that woman because of her dumbs, stupids, soars, loosers supporters. About her debt; if they are so dedicated to her why the hell in the world haven't they give a just $1.00 each to pay it off. I'm sick of that bunch of hillary ignorant supporter that are still in the miasma morbid of notoriety existence.

Why don't you help her retire her debt ED. While you are at it have the rest of those PUMA Hags pony up.

This is in mild reference to "Seattlites"….I have recently come to a realization regarding this whole ordeal. From everything I have read and watched, I have had an awakening of sorts. If I do NOT vote for Obama (regardless of the reason), I am labeled as a racist, bigotted idiot. If I DO vote for him, I am only doing so due to my excessive "white guilt." I can't win for losing on this one. I know plenty of people who are white who voted for Obama because of his ideals and message….and plenty of blacks who voted for him SOLELY on the basis of his skin tone. Where is the racism? You based your vote solely on the color of someone's skin?? Hmmm. I'm so tired of this debate. In my opinion Rendell is to be admired. Loyalty never goes out of style. He will support Obama in November, but is supporting "his" candidate at the convention. What's wrong with that? Loyalty is an important quality to possess. I'm just glad someone is standing up for Clinton when everyone else seems to want to just cram her face in the dirt and step on her back as they cross. When did we become such a nation of hateful people? When did loyalty go out of style? Manners and good graces are important…even in 2008. Maybe even more so now.

I wasn't a Hillary supporter in the Primaries but I really think an Obama Clinton ticket is the way to go. She does have a lot to offer and with Obama at the top of the ticket it makes sense. Is this the suprise announcement we will hear in the next 72 hrs?

If Clinton won 39% of the delegates in the actual election, and now 29% are saying that they'll vote for her when her name is placed in nomination — then, gosh, fellas, isn't the real story here that the disunity she's been fanning for all these months is melting into the background? …But then that wouldn't be a juicy ratings-grabber, now, would it.

When will this be over??? These people are totally crazy! All of this energy concerning Clinton should be exerted to retiring her debt. Do not ask any Obama supporter to pay this debt. This is a joke and her supporters are not handling their responsibilities that are incurred with this campaign. Obama and his supporters have handled the responsibilities that are incurred in a campaign.

I am tired of people calling anyone out for who they plan to vote for or being their energy behind in this race for the White House. In the beginning Obama was the candidate of "change". He was america's savior, THE ONE. And his followers would literally look at anyone who was for Clinton and Edwards with such a look of disgust that you would want to slap them to wipe the look off their face.

Now Obama, well, he is still their savior but he is also just like everyone else in the race … the same old POLITICIAN who thinks bringing down his oponent is the right way without talking about what he stands for.

If Rendell wants to throw his vote behind Clinton, then let him. She is a great woman, a great person and a great politician. AND 18 million people, more than the present nominee voted for her!

I see it this way. We have to have closer to this. I would love to see unity towards the democrats. Obama has the same stance as all of us democrats. We must unite

This moron makes no sense. Enthusiastic support, oh that helps.
He's right he'd make a horrible VP. He's already a horrible governor.

I think this is quite honorable of Rendell. He's being loyal not only to HRC, but to his state's Democrats. They voted for Clinton, and by not supporting his state's wishes, he wouldn't be being for the people he represents.

That said, go Obama!!!!

LOL, LOL, You're so right if the Hillary supporters would just put their money where theor BIG MOUTHS is and give up just one dollar to help her out of her debt, we Obama supporters would respect them SOOOOO MUCH more as true DEM"S, so i say they must RUPUBS
oBAMA 08/16

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can Obama fans still spew such vitriol. Obama will be the Democratic nominee, in spite of his inexperience and arrogance. McCain may be the Republican but Obama is the Bush-like candidate. Obama has even less experience than Bush had and is just as arrogant. Bush was so arrogant he believed he could invade Iraq and it would turn out exactly as he wanted it to, simply because that was what he wanted. Obama is so arrogant he believes all he has to do is make a few speeches and the voters will fall at his feet. So far the young voters have done just that and even now they continue their campaign of hatred, animosity, and vitriol.

GO AHEAD HRC SUPPORTERS. WE SHALL RETURN THE FAVOUR.
YOU ARE GRADUALLY RUINING HRC'S CAREER BY YOUR IRRATIONAL THINKING. HRC WILL NEED US OBAMA SUPPORTERS IN THE FUTURE. WE ARE WATCHING YOU MORONS
CLOSELY BECAUSE AS IT IS HRC WONT GET ANY VOTE FROM US FOR ANYTHING, NEVER AND YOU RACIST HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL BE TO BLAME.

How can Obama fans still spew such vitriol. Obama will be the Democratic nominee, in spite of his inexperience and arrogance. McCain may be the Republican but Obama is the Bush-like candidate. Obama has even less experience than Bush had and is just as arrogant.

Obama is so arrogant he believes all he has to do is make a few speeches and the voters will fall at his feet. So far the young voters have done just that and even now they continue their campaign of hatred, animosity, and vitriol. God help this country; neither of these candidates will be effective leaders.

Can't wait until this fringe is completely demoralized.

Hillary for VP!

Hillary 2012

Ed Rendell….. I respect him for sticking with his constituents, only in part due to his own hypocrisy. He is one of those all talk no action kind of guys…Backing Obama outwardly, but in his action, with his vote, completely contrary. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Pennsylvania will realize and he will not be re-elected.

Holy crap, looks like the Democratic party has at least one member who isn't a complete backstabbing scumbag. The party could use more people like Ed Rendell if they wanted to get any respect from me, but it's hard to respect a party that stays in power by keeping the people they're supposedly helping down.

Hello!!!!

Boy it must really suck to have all of that bouncing around in your little brain. Maybe, you're just one of those republican idiots who think we are going to fall for your "puma/no deal" nonsense?? Not gonna happen. Go over to Fox and spend your time blogging about how great you think McBush is. Or, is that you have nothing good to say about McBush, so you bash Obama in hopes no one will notice??

McCain has old war stories that everyone loves to hear. But, that's about it. That's all there is to John McBush. No vision, no ideas, no solutions….just war stories. And, that's fine for a war hero. But POTUS material, he is not…. Sorry. Sometimes the truth hurts.

This is called character and a backbone. Good for Ed. unlike people like Judas (bill richardson) he doesn't sell out.

I have all but abandoned the DNC after nominating Barrack Obama who, if I could use his own words. "he doesn't have enough exp, auh um - I don’t think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time, for that elevation, setting aside the fact that I profoundly disagree with his interpretations of a lot of the constitution,”

I don't see how a meaningless vote for Hillary would provide a feeling of catharsis for anybody. It's not going to have any real benefits for Hillary, and it can do nothing but hurt Obama's candidacy. Hillary lost the nomination because she supported the Iraq War from the beginning and would never apologize for her vote. That's her doing; it's a calculated political risk that she took and lost. It's over. Let's move on with our candidate, Barack Obama.

This talk of "catharsis" and actions like Rendell voting for Hillary as a "release," just serve to keep open the wounds, not unify the party. The convention is now all about Hillary and Bill and their appeasement.

I am proud to have Ed Rendell as my Governor. He has the courage to do the right thing for our Country. I also agree with the Governor that Hillary is the stronger of the two candidates. There are still a lot of hurt feelings in the United States for what our party and the media did to Hillary. I certainly don't want a Republican for President; therefore, I will suck it up and vote for Obama. I can only hope that he selects Hillary as his #2.

Thank you Ed-you are my hero!!!
Richardson will forever remain a backstabbing traitor.

It's good to see that people are standing behind Hillary. BRAVO!!!!

So why doesnt rendall help hillary with her debt???????????????

Only the democrats can create this absurd debacle.
Casting convention votes for the loser, paying the debt of the loser, speaking time for the loser, a catharsis for the loser - are you kidding me?

Way to go Rendell, you just delivered Pennsylvania - to the REPUBLICANS!

How many fundraisers has Rendell done for his flunky?

I believe in loyalty. I admire Governor Rendell for his loyalty to Senator Clinton. If Obama had the same loyalty to his friends, maybe he would not throw people under the bus so fast like he has in the past.

Hey JB Boston Obama hasn't won the Presidency yet and if he loses his political career is over. Hillary still has one come 2012. If Obama can't win now with all his donations, his rock star status, and the 75th. people he draws at rallies means people aren't ready for an empty suit who is JOE COOL.

It's nice to see a politician with some honor and hold to his word and pledge. As for the bitter, nasty, Obamanation groupies, suck lemmons just because you have been brainwashed with rhetoric does mean everyone has to play the silly game with you. I will vote my choice and who I think is the best person for the job and it is not the inexperienced person you praise and bow down to. Obama does not have the experience I want to see in office.

So what, this is not news we can use. Please, this should be a celebration for the DNC and Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton, her family and friends need to get a life.

This type of division will ensure that McCain wins. If people prefer McCain over Obama then they should continue to support a candidate that doesn't have a chance of winning. Hilary lost the nomination but that doesn't mean she contribute to Obama's candidacy. BUT she doesn't have to be VP in order to help her countrymen. Should she give anything less then perhaps she was not chosen to lead this country rightfully so. The greater good, that’s what we all should strive for.

Clinton supporters looking and sounding good, now put your money where your (mouth) commit is. Send it to your Queen of last chance, she needs it…………..you send $100 a week, by November she will be somewhat out of a DEBT you BEGGED her to continue to LOSS. She is waiting your money now.

You’re showing that those 18 million + voters were not the real voters supporting her as she thought, if they were her debt should have been paid in full by the end of JULY.

It amazes me how Hillary supporters think she is some type of last hope for a cure of this mess the republican party has caused us for the last eight years. But we know you are full of air because we know who is BEATING McCain, and his name is Obama, not Clinton. If he doesn't, it's because of those hater that call themselves Clinton supporters (republicans on a mission to pretend to be democrats), The only Clinton name in history as President will be BILL, we will dominate the blogs for the next four years supporting the other democrats that will be candidates running for the Commander and Chief……..that's a PROMISE

She will continue to be a millionair for years to come and your LIFE will GO ON as it is…….

Hey Rendall, if you vote Clinton at the Convention, you can forget any re-election for yourself. Party Unity - right!

As for you PUMA's voting for McCain - the ONLY reason you can't bring yourself to vote for Obama is because you are RACIST - admit it.

Obama 'till 2016

If Hello wants John McCain as President, what about how he just dropped out of site after the 2000 race and then was let back in to "the fold" after he caved in to supporting Rove/Cheney/Bush and the rest of the croney's in DC?? Now he tries to say, he is separate from The "Bush way of thinking"??? Come on and smell the coffee!

CNN: Look for quality news items!! Your heading is misleading, suggesting disunity that is no where reflected in Gov Rendell's statement. This is exactly how some of you unfairly analyzed the last meeting of the two candidates to favor Barack. Let's stay objective so that viewers and readers can lean and appreciate the process and its politics

I think Hillary is a disgrace to real women everywhere.

I am a Black 56 year old female and I approve this message……….

No Comcast rental movies during the four days of this Convention. This is going to be soooo different than past boring conventions. It's going to be very interesting how Gov. Rendell and the rest of Hillary's die hard supporters re-act after Hillary asks for a unanimous vote for Obama once her name has been put on the roll call ballot. As Arte Johnson would say….verrrrrry interesting.

good for him, I still do not understand the Obama supporters, how can try to elect to a man with no experience, the only ones is few years at the Senate and a community organizer, if you elect him, it will be disaster. Elect Hillary Clinton.

What a moron.

Vote for the obvious loser her had to bail out, lost all her money, and can't grasp the reality that she didn't win. If I was a voter in PA, I would want this guy out in a hurry. I wonder what state will be "punished" when Obama becomes president? What state will be sent to the back of the line when it needs anything?

Its just politics. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. There is nothing to gain by voting for a shadow.

Loyalty to your country and to Democratic ideals trump loyalty to the has-been Clintons. They're finished politically

Change is coming and Obama will win. If Clinton runs again before 2016 she will lose for sure. Dont forget its Obama`s support base that helped put Bill in the whitehouse. I dont think she will even make it past the primaries.

You PUMAs are a bunch of republicans trying to fool Clinton supporters.

HELLO!!,

Clinton would of have retired her debt if all the PUMA noise was true. More proof it's just a republican smoke screen. Grow up.

And so it begins!

For anyone who lacks the psychic abilities I have, let me share some information.

HRC does not think this is over. That would explain the suspension of her cmpaign, the inability to wholeheartedly backing Obama, the less than receptive response from her husband.

They are going in to steal this thing, and this is just the beginning. Hillary and her sexual predator husband do not care fo this country or for anyone other than themselves.

THIS IS A STRAIGHT UP POWER GRAB. If she could, she would organize a coup. They are awful people, and someday, EVERYONE will be aware of that.

Do we really care what this man does or says? Look at the condition of most of the major cities in PA, most of them are near bankruptcy and they can't even provide quality jobs for the people in that state, that is why the younger generation is leaving the state and PA has one of the largest elderly population. Nothing is going to change any time soon for the state of Pennsylvania, especially if he continues to put his own self interest (his love the Clinton machine) before the good of the Democratic Party and his own state!

I really would love to see all you Hillary supporters faces when Obama DOES win the presidency and real progress and change happens with the diverse talent that he will have in his administration. Obama 08!!!!1

I hope a lot of other delegates vote for Hillary so we can put this whole Obama nightmare behind us.

This is what friendship and loyality is all about. This is what having a brain that is functioning properly is all about. The rest of the democratic party swooned over the chosen one and slapped Hillary Clinton is the face. Well the chosen one is not running away with it in the polls. Wonder why" Just watched him on Cnn this morning. Seemed a little crabby to me talking to the veterans. Is it because he has taken a hit in the news since his terrible night on Sat. with the Pastor. The democratic party is a joke.

Hillary is not a loser and neither is Obama. This is American elections at play. This is why the system is set up the way it is but nobody until now, has had the guts to exercise them. There is nothing wrong with Ed following his heart and casting his free vote his way anymore than Richardson doing the same for Obama. We live in a free country and our right to our vote is personal. Personally, I doubt that Obama will win without Hillary as VP because the polls are too close between McCain and Obama right now and without Hillary as VP, you can bet, most of her supporters are going for McCain. Obama will be solely responsible for losing his election and it will depend on his ability to realize what's in front of his nose. What Hillary brought into this election with the millions that came out to vote for her and many for the first time, is crucial to Obama now. Does he really think that the bucket full of people who voted for the other possible picks is going to help him win? He'd have to be pretty dumb to think that. No Hillary as VP, no Obama as president. I can bet my full tank of gas on that one!

WE Love RANDELL. Infact, I am a Hillary Supporter and I show my loyalty to Clintons with my vote to McCain.

Hillary 2012

William August 18th, 2008 11:56 pm ET

Good for you Ed, this is what loyalty is all about. The Obama supporters that constantly slam Clinton and her supporters would have us abandon our loyalty to her and pledge it to Obama, well this Clinton supporter won't do it. Come Nov. If Hillary is not Obama's choice for VP, I will cast my vote for her anyway, be she on the ballot or not. If Obama should lose, C'est la vie.
————————————————————————————————
You say we Obama supporters constantly slam Clinton but it's okay with you that Mr. aware up there can call him a loser and you don't expect us to retaliate? Come on now. It's not about "loyalty" to Hillary, she's not a Queen or something, wake up. My loyalty is to my COUNTRY and its needs first, not to an individual JUST BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN. You go ahead and cast your vote for her, you should know however, that if Obama loses this election, she WILL be thought of as being the cause due to her devisiveness and polarizing during the primaries and even now to some degree and she will NEVER have a chance in 2012. You need to think ahead more than one election at a time, "my friend".

I'm sick of hearing about Hillary Clinton. She lost! Its time for her to get off the stage and out of the way for the candidate who won the primary. In the Olympics, we don't carry on about the Silver and Bronze medal winners. Obama won the Gold and Hillary needs to take her rightful place on the podium and let him have his.

Maybe Fast Eddie can put his money where his mouth is and help his loser candidate settle her debt. Now THAT would be showing support. One wonders if Democrats like Rendell would treat a white male candidate with the same disrespect he's shown Obama. I'm white, for the record.

It just goes to show you when Obama talks about changing our politics - it will just happen on its own! It goes for both Repubs and Dems - no job is safe. Watch to see if Rendell has a job in the near future. We are going to see a bunch of new faces in charge of our country soon, revamping the status quo, ousting incumbents, and regaining control of our country without entrenched money interests. Experience=able to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people.

But will Ed give Hillary any money to reduce her debt?

Think about it people: We lost the opportunity to have a candidate who seriously mismanaged her campaign, who would now be fighting McSame by having to borrow even more money, and whose most loyal supporters would rather spend the quarter they found in the couch of their doublewide towards a pack of smokes than sending it to their most beloved candidate.

You must all be on drugs! Obama won, and their positions on almost everything are virtually the same. The difference is the war. Way to play into republican hands. Fine if you like Clinton, but for the love of Christ unify for the country's sake. The country can't take four more years of republican rule.

How can he think that a vote for Hillary is NOT a vote against party unity? Hey, I admire Mrs. Clinton very much but lets get our act together, people!

Obama '08!

Clinton only won the popular vote when you count states where Obama wasn't on the ballot.

At one point she lost 10 states in a row.

She coudn't even win Iowa, which is 98% white.

After Bill left office, there were fewer Democrats in the house, senate, and in governorships.

Hillary used Karl Rove tactics to fight agianst Obama.

Hillary supporters won't even help her pay off her campaign debt.

The media bias claims are subjective. I don't think Hillary has to deal with what Obama has been put through:

He's had his life threatened.

When supporters go door knocking, they've had racist comments made, including an old lady who wanted Obama to hang from a tree.

There are non-stop anti-Obama editorials and stories in the media every single day.

These are all things we need to remind ourselves about.

Obama is loser and big fliper
Beware of him!

Very democratic of you all. You just can't accept that you lost the primary. Yes it was historic, but come on, you lost. Mr. Rendell ought to reconsider his vote. Vote for Clintion and say your for Obama? Run a better campaign next time instead of whining.

Vegetarians for STEAK!!!!!!

sounds about as rational as a Dem voting for McPOW.

"Obama is a loser!" Wow, you must be a very highly educated group. PUMA is for people who can't get a grip on reality. Senator Clinton had her shot at the Presidency, but obviously felt it should have been given to her. While she played games, Obama went out, raised finances, enough to pay for his campaign, and ultimately is going to win the nomination.

Just because you feel you are ENTITLED to something doesn't mean you don't have to work just as hard as the young, fresh, new comer to the scene. If only she would have worked a little bit harder….

OBAMA '08!

While I appreciate the emotion that comes with losing….she still lost, why can't these people just let it go!! Somebody had to win and somebody had to lose, for PUMAs out there - grow up, get a life and hope for the best in a few years, but all of this is just going to hand victory over to McCain, and I know NO ONE wants that.
Once again, the democrats pull a loss from the jaws of victory.

If Hillary has so many supporters why can't she retire her debt? It is because Republican's crossed over to get her the nomination. They knew McCain would have an easier time with her, because of her BAGGAGE. All she has done is cause herself more baggage that she doesn't need. She grossly mismanaged her campaign and campaign funds, blatantly lied about being shot at (believe me you don't forget it if you are shot at)

I truly believe a woman's perspective as president would be good. Hillary is not the right woman. I don't want to relive the past Clinton antics for the next 8 years. This country needs to move dramatically forward.

Hillary and her supporters have to realize they LOST, it is OVER!

Hillary you need to find another way to soothe your ego.

I will be sooo glad once this is over with !!!

I'm sorry, but I really don't see the point in this. I never supported Clinton, so I guess I don't understand this notion of how this would acknowledge how hard people worked for her. I also have been wondering about her avid support, since if half of her voters (not necessarily supporters) put up $1.50 or so her debt would be paid off. How strong was/is her support really?

Since he see that there is no chance of him becoming the vp, then you jump to the other side.

This is what a real democracy is. Delegates standing up for their constituencies! This race has totally turned me off to Obama and the Democratic Party.

Who is he kidding. Politics is not about loyalty and serving a constituency, it is about the next election. Or- about keeping the skeletons in your closet- in your closet.
Let the old angry women have their Clinton Brohaha at the convention, but the party "faithful" (whatever that means) should know how important it is to be unified behind Obama. This tedious Clinton campaign is over. I was a Clinton supporter early on but now I am so absolutely sick of her self-absorbed and interminable campaign.

Hillary might just get in there. Putting her name in at the last minute. Shes very popular and honestly knows so much more than Obama about all that intails in running a country. Go for it Hillary, go fo it… I wouldn't vote for you. But do it…

I cannot believe what I am reading. First, you people blame Obama for not helping Clinton pay off her debt. She should have dropped out of the race weeks before she did. She did more harm than good by staying in the race and it should also be noted that her mismanagement of her campaign is the reason she still has this debt. Yet with all that said you can't let it go. She lost, how many times does that have to be said until it sinks in. I have never seen a bunch of losers in my life. I am a lifelong democrat but this takes the cake. You would rather see John McCain win than Obama. You need a psychiatrist.

Isn't it funny… God already knows who will be president. Please don't stress yourself over who will be president. Will Obama or MCcain being president add a single dollar to your pocket?

You better get real and focus on how you will survive. Become a better leader in your home, love your family and stop worring over who will be president.

Good. Gov. Rendell shows not only loyalty but plain old common sense. Sen. Clinton is the only democratic candidate that can take back the White House in November. Let's hope many other superdelegates act accordingly.

A combined total of 36 million voters supported Obama and Clinton. Of the 36 million, 8 million women voted against Clinton. Her perceived strengths to an Obama ticket are vastly over estimated due in large part to her sadistic supporters and some in the MSM. A Obama-Clinton ticket is a sure loser in the fall.

ill just be happy to have a democrat in the office

Democrats have almost always picked losers; with Obama they have simply done it again…

HILLARY all the way!

Obviously Bob Stephens is a moron. Oh, I sorry. I made a comment about something I do not know about, just like Bob…

god, what is with all the sore losing, crying and purging and release and catharsis? the dnc convention seems to be more of an exorcism!!!

That's fine, Rendell was a staunch Clinton supporter. He is in their pockets. As for these so called "Clinton supporters" we have a bunch of Republican impersonators here trying to make people believe there are more Clinton supporters than their really are. How many of those 18 million voters were Republicans voting for Clinton to keep the primaries going longer as a strategy. Rush Limbaugh was a big proponent of having Republicans vote for Hillary and he has one of the largest audiences on radio. Hillary may have had 18 million votes but a good chunk of that were not true supporters they were Republican impersonators and infultrators making a mockery of the the election just they are continuing today.

Rendell could still be a VP running mate…..IF HILLARY GETS THE NOMINATION…..Hmmmmmm…

All of the candidates names should be in a role call. That is how the democratic process has worked for hundreds of years.
Delegates must vote according to the VOTE of the constituents.
Any delegate like Kennedy who votes against the will of his or her people will be voted out of office by the true democrats.

I will not vote for Obama. By selecting Obama at the RBC compromise in MI, the DNC lost my help and my vote. Many democrats that are running for seats in Nov. have received no help from their party if they supported Obama.
He caused his own troubles and his shady past and friends are the reason for his downfall.
If he had some experience to counter all the poor judgement, he may have had a chance to get my vote.
But he has done NADA!

Thank you Rendell for casting your vote according to the election.
Don't join the Obama train!

And this changes my life…how???

If Hillary's supporters believe so much in their canidate why won't they donate to reduce her debt? These losers are all talk and no action. Clinton lost what was a slam dunk and ran a terrible campaign. But of course this is America where nobody takes responsability for their failings. She blames everyone but just needs to look in the mirror at that old, wrinkled face to see why she lost.

There is one major difference between Democrats and Republicans –

Republicans are always united even as they drag the drag the country underground.

Democrats are always divided even when the have good ideas to ressurrect the country.

United, Republicans ruin the country.

Divided, Democrats miss a glorious opportunity to revive the country and restore its credibility.

Either way, America loses. It's just sad.

God Bless America.

Can't wait for the chaos in the Democratic Convention. Hope it makes 1968 look like a love fest.

The clinton have rich friends. Why they dont pay her debt.
OB should not give HRC the VP. He rather lose the election than win it with the Clinton on his back. Let the REP wins and take us to another war and misery. I hope all the clinton backers will shut up than.

Jeffrey

Can we say unity or do we say Just Us. (justice)

We need a people president, one that can touch the people.

They talked about Jesus in a very bad way also.

Stop Hating Hater's……

it makes sense,

His priority is his state, which is where it should be. National polls don't mean anything to him as far as his reelection chances are concerned. He'd be taking a big risk in NOT back a state that was as pro-Hillary as Penn. was.

Hillary is going to get the roll-call vote. Rendell was committed to her and is going to vote for her. What's the problem?

Either Hillary or Obama will beat McBush because the country is fed up with the GOP.

I believe Hillary was the best candidate given her experience during Bill Clinton's terms. She is the only one with experience at the Executive level of government because he's the only one of the three who's been there.

However, Obama has emerged as the presumptive candidate, and I will now be supporting him. It's nicce that Hillary is getting the roll-call vote, now she has to face the fact that she has been beaten and pull ranks. If her supporters pull the "I'm going to take my bat and go home" mindset, then you are voting for McBush. If they do that and it is proven to be a significant facot in helping McCain win, then I suggest they examine the ramifications of their egos and ask themselves if they are Democrats or political opportunists?

ed should help her with her debt since he's such a big supporter..

LET IT GO RENDELL, LET IT GO! TIME TO MOVE ON

I think the Obama folks are showing much loyalty to the party. And quite frankly are bending over to accomodate Senator Clinton.
I hear all the time about how his people slammed her people BUT WITHOUT SPECIFICS.
Look, there will be one of two people in teh White House come January 20, 2009. Either Senator Obama or Senator McCain. No one else.
The sooner you come to realization the better able you are to cast a vote which serves your platform (which by the way, Obama and Clinton people wrote the Dem platform so I'm thinking it would be Obama who best champions your positions).
If you want to vote against yourself by writing in Hillary, well, you're voting against yourself. While you'll feel good for the moment, perhaps even the day, the rest of us will feel the severe pain of a McCain presidency. You will too. But you'll blame it on the rest of us for NOT voting for someone who isn't on the ballot while the millions of us who are trying to get the same policies she champions votes for the one guy on the ballot who was trying to get what she wanted.

Face it all you Obama haters, Hillary fought a good fight, but she lost! Sometimes negativity can backfire. Even if she runs in2012, she won't win my vote. She has truly proven that she can't, won't be a loser. She is still playing dirty and so are her cronies. She must be holding something over Rendell. If all these people who are Hillary's supporters, then why haven't they paid down her debt? Winners take all and Obama will and have conquered all the smear tactics

Gee. Have we learned nothing? During the primaries, Hillary was seen as less than trustworthy… understatement. Is she trying to backdoor this thing? What a joke. And the reason she has so much debt that her supporters can't retire? Her prime demographic were poor, white and uneducated. This translates into having no money. Anyone who thinks Hillary Clinton has any chance of uniting the party let alone the country is seriously delusional.

Gov .Rendell, is no different than me, I'm voting for Clinton as a write in. I think, No I know both McCain and Obama are the worst candidates neither one is the total package on their own. McCain is one dementional ( the surge), and Obama is just the cool black dude with little to no EXPERIENCE, thats why they both have to get a VP that gives them appeal and some other experienced background.

Hillary though not perfect was and is the better choice….:-)

The Media generated Obama-Hillary soap opera was lame 8 months ago - now it's just pathetic.

Obama is the nominee, the economy is tanked, gas prices are sky high, people can't afford healthcare, and oh yeah, there's still 2 wars going on you never talk about.

Get a life CNN.

Again here we go…It saddens me that all you Clinton supporters with the attitude of Clinton or else are not thinking of the big picture. No Clinton will not win and by voting for her you are handing the presidency into the hands of McCain. Do you have any idea what your bitterness is going to do to the democratic party not to mention this country? We will have more wars, a worsening economy and the rights of women will take a big turn backwards. Before you let this all happen think of everything we as americans will loose if we don't vote for Obama (democrat). Maybe he isn't your number one choice, but again I say, every write in for Clinton is a vote for McCain,,,,,Please don't say you don't care, because in a year or two, you will.

to william: loyalty cause dictatorships

and everyone else: if obama is a loser, how come he won against clinton?

This is so sad. All this time they have been calling for unity and respect. They whine that Obama supporters are not paying off their debt ( and why should they?). They talk about winning in November. This election was over in February when HRC lost 11 in a row. Why do they wish to lose another election. I though this was a about loyalty to the Country and the Party and the principles they stand for and not loyalty to a person.

This is all starting to sound like Monica Goodling's profession of loyalty to W. Which is exactly why we do not need their kind in office any longer.

The best interest of the United States should come first.

=======people of PA,

====================use your brian next time selecting a governer plz==============

I love how PUMAs on this comment board are running around calling Obama a loser & that people should still vote for HRC. Wasn't anybody paying attention to the primary? I'm pretty sure Obama was, in fact, the winner.

Please, wake up people. Come back to reality. Obama is the party's nominee. Let's start focusing our energy on defeating McCain to win the general. There are too many problems facing America to still be fighting amongst ourselves.

My 3 year old child doesn't whine, cry, and moan as much as these immature adults.

Go ahead, vote for McCain, we don't care and don't need your votes.

Obama 08

Obama is dangerous for the country. Wake up America, choose NOBAMA. Go Hillary or McCain. Experience and wisdom only can guide you through this mess. For a guy to have "57″ states in his own country, shows how big a dufus he is.

Every single time I see or hear Hillary Clinton, I feel like a snake
has just crawled across my foot.

I will be laughing loudly when the reality hits the fan on all these HIllary whiners & sore losers.

They'll realize that a good portion of the 18 million that they thought were Billary supporters when they were Rush Limbaugh minons doing their best to sink the party.

GET OVER IT, GROW UP AND SUPPORT YOUR PARTY'S NOMINEE!!!

Obama and Clinton were almost identicle twins on 90% of the issues, so what's your problem other than acting like 5 year olds and not accepting your legitimate loss like adults?

Obama won HIllary lost — move on!

I LIKE ED !!!

Does it really matter since it was stolen from her its a sure win for McCaine. how the Dems every ended up with the rookie and about to loose the election is beyond me. I guess we can all thank Obama and all his great new Dems he has brought into this party.

Here we go again. They just can't accept that Hillary Clinton lost the race for the White House. People need to start supporting Senator Obama and stop all this nonesense and drama. I am tired of the whole thing. I think the Democratic Party needs to support one person, and that individual is Barack Obama. This is ridiculous.

America and the rest of the world await you Democrats.

Too much at stake to show weakness. We must unite behind one leader to throw the bums out.

The time has come for a change of the guards.

Obama 08/12.

Wow…this is so sad. It is time for a generational change, people. My generation has had its chance and failed miserably. We need new blood. "But we've always done it this way" doesn't cut it anymore.

OBAMA DOESN'T NEED HER . HE WILL DO JUST FINE. AND IF HE DOES NOT WIN HILLARY WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE IN 2012 ANYWAY. ENOUGH PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT HER LYING BACK STABBING WAYS. THIS IS ALL VERY CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC.

OBAMA…….08

Goof for you Ed. But what you should do you should also say! Cast your vote for Hillary and state you are for her also as she is the best candidate.

We've cast our vote and we are still going to Denver to stand by it!!!

PUMA PAC - it's a just cause!

Good for Ed. Now I will consider voting for him in the future..At least one of PA's elected officials has some balls..Cant say the same for Senator Casey..His tenure in the Senate will surely be short lived since he decided to go against the will of the voters in his state and support the know nothing Obama…..PA will not forget Senator!..You go ED! Im proud of you!

Hey Aware–Unaware!! You are the Loser for not using your brains!
Obama is not a loser. It is because of him H Clinton's name can go on the ballot.

He and the Democratic Party are about Democracy and letting all voices heard.
Ed is following his choice– so what!!

Obama WILL WILL and he will defeat McCain who is SCARY!!

Obama 08, 12

OBAMA is falling from grace, OR the truth about that man is starting to sink in. He would bring our country to a halt, but he can lead a speech. "JUST SPEECHES" WAKE UP AMERICA, HE IS NOOOOO LEADER.

Unfortunately it is Clinton supporters like Shree Shrestha who would rather abandon the Democratic party principles and ideas to uphold loyalty to the Clintons. The Clintons know that the only way Hillary can be elected President is if Obama loses in November. If Obama wins in November he could be president for two full terms, which means Hillary would be 68 years old if she tried to run again.

Unfortunately all of these Hillary Clinton supporters should be sending cash to Hillary Clinton's campaign since she is still mired in debt. If Hillary had the choice as to whether to recognize her name as a presidential candidate at the convention or pay off her debt/loans, Hillary will definitely choose the money.

I live in PA and I will NEVER cast another ballot for Rendell for any office at any time. He's hitched his wagon to a falling star and I intend to watch him ride it into oblivion.

OBAMA, YOU NEED TO DROP THIS B__CH ASAP! SHE'S NOT HELPING, SHE'S HURTING YOU. THIS IS HER PAYBACK, THOUGH SUBLIMINAL, IT IS STILL PAYBACK. HER INTENTIONS ARE ONLY FOR HERSELF. BELIEVE US WHEN WE TELL YOU SHE COULD CARE LESS IF YOU WIN, BUT WE, YOUR TRUE SUPPORTERS DO CARE. WE ARE BEHIND YOU 100% AND BELIEVE US WHEN WE TELL YOU YOU DO NOT NEED HER TO WIN…AT ALL!!

I agree with Shree, Obama is a very bad choice. Obama has no chance of defeating McCain.

Hillary is the only one that can.

Rendell is an idiot. This is not the year for political posturing and back slapping.

Good for you Gov. Rendell!!!!! Just goes to show there are a few people out there that can't be bought to back Obama & state their loyality elsewhere. The convention should be interesting!!!! Everyone seems to forget Obama is only the PRESUMPTIVE nominee, not is not written in stone yet & depending on what happens during the rollcall that may change. It's a long shot, but just may happen.

Can't wait till the convention is over so the Hillary whiners stop! Sheesh. They need closure.

Also, I can't wait for many of you whiners to eat crow when Obama wins.

If no HRC —go for McCain

Way to go Ed….thanks for your support. I am sure that the DNC will be the first to contribute to your re-election in PA. I am also sure that the Obama voters in Pa are VERY happy with your decision….sure hope that you garner their support in your next election , not to mention President Obama's.

I admire Rendell for his loyalty, unlike Richardson. There is no doubt
that Rendell will support Obama, but it's kind of refreshing to see
someone stand up for what and whom they believe in. I hope more super deligates are realizing Obama will not win the White House
without Clinton on the ticket.

if Hillary surely controls her 18million voters, why not ask them to retire her debt?? Why has this become Obama's burden?? How can you run a poor campaign, loose votes and money, and expect your opponent to clean up your mess?? This is bad leadership at best!!

I don't know why I continue to read these comments. Hey Clinton supporters, you're not voting for your favorite American Idol contestant…this is for President of the United States. Shut up and move on.

For all of you that think Obama is a bad choice- who is in debt. Hillary is a good candidate, but she ran a bad campaign. There is nothing more to be said.

If her 18 million voters want to vote for McCain than fine. The sad part is your vote would be against what she stands for. This is exactly why America is struggling. We have adults who are showing kids very bad lessons.

Put the shoe on the other foot. If Obama lost what would you say to his supporters. Again, she ran a bad campaign.

it's not meant for disunity????

Pennsylvania is a key state and that idiot Rendell is going to vote for a loser. That's make no sense.

Watch your back Sen Obama. Rendell is part of Clinton's backstabbing team.

TO AWARE
Aren't you AWARE of the fact that HILLARY LOST??? I am an Obama fan and if Obama would have lost - FAIRLY - I was casting my vote for Hillary - NOT switching sides and/or threatening the Democratic party because I am UPSET!!!!

All I can say to all of the PUMAs and so-Called Hillary fans who are not going to vote for Obama - So be it!!! NO ONE is going to know what you have done when you walk into the voting booth anyway!!!! We do not even know your REAL NAME…LOL Jeez!!!!

So he's going to cast a "feel-good" vote for Clinton to make her feel better? This is the kind of stuff that makes me ashamed to be a woman. She plays right into the stereotype of women that need to be coddled. Man up, and move on Hilary!

Rendell is a loser. Hillary supporters need to support Obama for the sake of the country. Obama will be the next president not Hillary Clinton. Clinton era is over.

U-N-I-T-Y! Regardless, Obama will be this country's choice, now and in November. I applaud the Clinton fans but after her role call at the convention…it is time to unify if you are a true and just democrat.

Clinton has her surrogates doing her dirty work. She is a bitter, white woman and must be stopped.

to aware, Think to yourself why the rebugs wanted Hillary to win, answer it would bruing out and motivate their base and they would win. Half of the democrats would not vote for her, she is too polarizing. Look outside of your blind loyalty to see what Obama is really about. Is he perfect? No he is not, but he is better than McCain. Visit his website and start speaking intelligently with items outside of what Clinton and her camp told you. Take off the blinders, I know your are more intelligent than to follow blindly, without question.

sore losers, it is shameful, it is close to what happpened in Zimbawe

This is a disgrace, They are doing everything in they power to have Hillary run again in 2012. If Obama loses this nomination because of sore grapes Hillary won't win in 2012 you can take that to the bank.

I KNOW IT'S HURT FEELINGS FOR THE CLINTON'S, BUT CAN ANY SMART PERSON OUT THERE TELL ME WHAT DID SENATOR BARACK OBAMA DO TO THE CLINTON'S OTHER THAN WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES BARACK OBAMA 08

Hillary wouldn't be able to beat McCain and I don't know why you all keep peddling that ridiculous mistruth. McCain and the Republican machine would've pulled out everything regarding Hillary and Bill. Remember none of that stuff came out during the primaries. Obama was very gracious and is still being very gracious towards Hillary after all the stunts she pulled in the primary. It's time to move forward and elect Obama as President of the United States.

I just want everyone to know, I also am mired in debt and am seeking cash.

Thank you.

Stick to your convictions Ed!

Its incredible to think that the democrats are blowing another presidential election. Mcain by a nose, believe me.

When all of you Hillary supporters, who have decided that it is better to cut your nose off and spite your face by not voting for Obama, help get McCain elected…please do not come later on and shed in crocodile tears about the gas or your lots in life. I will hear none of it. If you vote for McCain then you deserve everything you get. It would be wise to pick up a book or a paper or do some research, instead of voting against the black man that supports nearly every issue your failed candidate stood for. You are a bunch of sore losers, unlike any I have ever met before. It is confirmed, Obama spoke the truth, when he said that you were bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter. Now add poorer and dumber to that group.

HRC is ready to lead…from day one. Obama needs about ten more years of seasoning.

I think it is an absolute shame that Clinton , yes Clinton, has allowed this to drag on. She has shown her stipes as a sore loser and has dragged who ever she could for her cause to complain. This infueriates me because it shows a lack of respect for our citizens and for our political process. She alone has the power to stop this nonesense and needs to do what is right. She pays a great price for failing to do so.

At the beginning of all this I was a Hillary supporter. Somewhere along the line i switched my allegiance to Obama as it was clear he would suit my tastes a bit better than Clinton.

I'm also a Pennsylvanian who supported Rendell for governor.

They've both left a bad taste in my mouth after all this. And they STILL can't just get behind Obama without opening their stupid mouths about Hillary coming in 2nd. Who cares about 2nd? Why enter her name in the nomination? It won't make her run any more or less memorable… I bet she's still hoping for a Robert Kennedy scenario…

Bill Clinton? Lost lots of respect for him.

Here's hoping for Biden.

Why is this news? Has anyone else noticed that this network manages to headline Clinton at least 2 or three times a day? What is the obsession with Hillary Clinton? She lost, get over it already! Now I see why they call this the Clinton News Network.

The real leader is Clinton.
Open your eyes America, this election is in OUR hands.
Even if Obama Hussain is handed the nomination, a write in vote for Clinton overturns what the blind have done.

Go CNN! Keep trying to push the disunity meme. Should make for great ratings next week.

There was a time when news organizations actually cared about reporting news, and ratings considerations were secondary. Seriously. I'm not making this up.

You Hillraisers have you ever though what would happen if the shoe was on the other foot. If Clinton was the nominee, do you think Obama supporters would act you all. I think not. We would honor the process and throw our support to Clinton. What you all are doing is suicide. If Obama wins, Clinton supporters will not have any jobs at the Whitehouse, not even garbage removers. Go ahead, make our day!

Dan-
"Ed Rendell sure knows how to pick a loser. Never has it happened in American politics where someone drops out of a difficult race, to get elected as a party's nominee. It doesn't happen… we like winners."

This comment is incoherent. What are you trying to say?

white folks get over it….

she lost - are you surprise about rendell

the loser is clinton - because she lost

You Democrats really know how to screw things up don't you. This election is being handed to you, an African-American is most likely going to be President, a truly historic moment many of us thought we would never see in our lifetimes. And you all are going to screw it up for some spoiled brat named Hillary. Why should I vote for any of you to run this country when you can't get your own act together.

The other post was closed, I have donated to retire Hillarys debt. One of the posters ask if Obama had paid anyone elses debt? He paid off Richardsons and bought his support, why not Hillary? He wants her support does he not?

Thank God, I did NOT vote for Rendell for Mayor and did NOT vote for him for Governor.

I don't believe he can run for Governor again — his eight years are up — however, it does not matter, because I will never, ever vote for him again and will work tirelessly against him if he runs for anything here in Philadelphia.

I guess he's waiting for 2012.

Wait on Fast Eddie

Yep, that's right, HRC would definitely do better than Obama in the election. Yes, let's vote for a person who squandered half of a BILLION dollars in a campaign that unofficially started in 2004 to a freshman senator with almost no name recognition until late 2007. Let's vote for HRC, who can't take responsibility for her own incompetence in losing the primaries, and instead scapegoats it as 'sexism'. For HRC supporters, even GEORGE BUSH ran a better campaign - TWICE! than she did. "Incompetence in '08 - eight years wasn't enough!"

No surprise. They are finished politicians that greatly benefited primary from corruption. The problems of the near future is just to great to have politicians playing childrens games and insulting the intelligence of the Progressives amongst us. We need new type leaders to lead for the sake of the country. Not for the sake of entitlement.

will you idiots please get over it SHE FREAKIN LOST!!! MOVE ON or are you just to ignorant to accept change and a different way of doing thing the old guard is OVER

I just heard from my family in Penn. They are planning to vote against Rendell in his next election. Talk about encouraging unity in the party!

A disgrace!

Also, all you Hillary supporters (possible Republicans in disguise) who are upset or are acting upset about Hillary losing, quit being so selfish - it's not healthy for you.

I have two young boys whom I fear their future because of the risk of World War III, future drafts (even though I will not allow this to happen and will do whatever it takes to make sure that it doesn't), the environment, and the continuing economic downfall. And I would never make decision to place my kids, or any kids, future in jeopardy.

I see what I see, and McCain is dangerous. There is just something about him that is not right, not right at all. He actually makes me feel ill when I focus on him for too long, which tells me there's something not good about him.

If Hillary would have won, I know Hillary wouldn't jeopardize our children's future, and I would be supporting Hillary, but it was not meant for her to run for President at this time. Hopefully, her day will come and I will have a chance to support her then, but for now, I'm going to think about what's at stake for the kidoes.

Rendell voting for Clinton IN THE FIRST ROUND.

So will alot of other delegates (super and otherwise). Then, Obama will win the first round of voting, and ALL of the delegates will vote for him in the second round. This is entirely scripted, and, democratically, matches the results of the primary election.

Stop the DRAMA.

Another independent thinker… that has been paid off by the Clintons.

HClinton wi
