CNN

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. 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. 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 will be the democratic presidential candidate

Loyalty to a person without a chance in the world to win is called hypocrisy. The good old gang of the Democratic party is going out without style because they never had any. The new Democratic party will be better without the likes of Rendell and his semblance of appearance to John McCain.

Party unity, my tush!! I am reminded of the slogan you see around that says you cannot simultaneously vote for peace and support war. If Ed Rendell is for party unity, he cannot vote for the "other" candidate! This is political BS!

I like Barack obama and will vote for him but he should have seen this coming. when almost half of the voters picked another candidate – even when they knew Barack had won – then he needed to acknowledge that. Instead he and his supporters have looked everywhere but to that half of HIS party for support - they want new voters, they want independents - they don't want old time democrats and they made that clear in every TV appearance and blog. What did he and his supporters think these people would do at the convention? He should have been reaching out instead of hiring the woman Hillary fired - the one who rented office space till next April at $100,000 a month. I hope he wins the election and I hope he is a better peace maker in the future than he has been up till now. This first challenge has not gone well.

I would HOPE that delegates REPRESENT their State and vote the way that their State voted. Otherwise, what's the point of sending representatives? At least on the first ballot you SHOULD vote the way that you were sent there to do. If there is not a winner THEN you can debate and come to a consensus.

If everyone is not true to their constituents, then the whole thing is a sham.

Hilary needs to be on the ticket. Obama would be a fool he is did not choose her for VP.

Didn't Senator Clinton win PA? Seems to me Gov Rendell should be voting for Hillary. Perhaps the Democratic Party should start practicing some democracy...

It's a vote people – there has to be at least two sides for it to be one. We all know that Obama is going to win at the convention. This may be Rendell's last chance to have a choice he feels is easy to make even if he says it's based on that ever elusive trait of loyalty! I am looking forward to November when its my turn to chose!

Fast Eddy strikes again

I think it's good that he's supporting her. He should. And so should all her other delegates. She'll fall short in the vote and then they can all get behind Obama. It's no secret that she won so many delegates so lets show it loud and clear how invested all Democrats have been. It's not going to change any of the PUMAs minds but for those that worked hard for Clinton, they should be able to show their support.

Ed, I will remember this in future when it comes to your re-election

Man you democrats are going to lose another one with thinking like this. Such a shame!

aware August 18th, 2008 11:54 pm ET

If the Democrats want to win they will vote for Hillary Clinton 08. Obama is a loser!

aware August 18th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

OBAMA IS A LOSER!

--------------------------------
Do you have ANY idea how brainless and juvenile you sound? You MUST be 13 and just stupid beyond comprehension. Go back to grade school and actually DO something to earn your next grade level. If Obama's a loser and he still beat Hillary, what does that make her?

Well, they decided to put her name out there. They must have known this would happen. I scratched my head when I heard it was "to build unity." Not sure how giving people a chance to swim against the tide is a way to build unity.

As for her debt, I wouldn't give a dime to retire her debt. I hope she's trying to raise money 10 years from now to pay of this arrogant, poorly run, vanity project she called a campaign.

What a jerk. I guess he would prefer four more years of McSame. He is probably well enough off to handle it but please give the rest of us a break. If Obama loses, there is no way Clinton will ever win the next primary and she will never be president. I'm sick of these childish games when there is so much at stake. ...and I voted for her in the primary!

Why do Democrats always want to shoot themselves in the foot? Obama is a WINNER, and suporting the (legitimate) loser Clinton only causes dis-unity and plays into the hands of the Republicans.

to aware you are seriously the weakest and dumbest link.

Doesn't anyone realize that the president has already been (s)elected by the real voters... corporate interests?? This system is so corrupt, it's scary.

It seems like HRC's fans do not care a rat's a... about the party, it's only about her. Wake up people, this is why she did not, and I repeat, did not win the primaries. I am a registered Republican who is definitely going to vote for Sen. Barack. Try as I may, I can not find one single thing that would encourage me to vote for Sen. McCain. He is boring, boring and will say anything to pander to a crowd. Case in point - Saddlebook forums. He wasn't answering the questions with his heart (with the exception of the POW stories), he was answering them as he felt the crowd (definitely pro-McCain) wanted to hear. So much for fair and balanced. I watch Fox news every day, morning and evening and find their "fair and balanced" to be eschewed in their belief. Of course, dems watch their show, everyone should BE INFORMED AND BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPIN AND TRUTH. Go Barack, bring this nation to be as one again!

Obama is a bad choice. Superdelegates need to wake up and smell salt and vote for real candidate Hillary. Hillary will surely defeat McCain but Obama has no chance at all....

The Democrats can't win without the black vote and Hilary has killed any chance of getting that.

OBAMA has no chance against McCain. You Dems better start supporting Clinton again.

I totally agree with William and express my admiration for Gov. Rendell. Obama will loose because of his arrogance and lack of experience. Of course, all you people bad mouthing Rendell are so "hooked" on Obama, you will say anything. PUMA lives and I and my husband will be voting for McCain–the lesser of two evils.

Hillary will surely defeat McCain but Obama has no chance at all.

BUT HE BEAT HER DIDN'T HE

If Obama should lose, C'est la vie.

YES, IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNTRY IS IT? IT'S MORE ABOUT WORSHIPPING THE CANDIDATE. HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING? CLINTON & OBAMA'S POLICIES ARE IDENTICAL BUT YOU WOULD RATHER SEE BUSH'S THIRD TERM THAN ACCEPT THAT SHE LOST FAIR & SQUARE. HOW NOBLE OF YOU.

Write her in.....

Whoooooopppppeeee!
Maybe together they can finally defeat Obama by turning the DNC into a Hillaryland.
What a croc!

WHY DON'T HIM AND HER OTHER 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS DONATE A DOLLAR TO GET HER OUT OF DEBT????

SOME REAL SUPPORTERS

(VERY SARCASTIC)

oh, gosh. way to stir up drama and fuel the retarded PUMAs.

good!!!! now lets hope more will follow rendell's lead.

It is funny to me how divided the Democratic party really is, yet they do not see it as such.

Everyone get ready for Bush Part III in November because Hillary and her supporters are vindictive and will do anything to "let their voice be heard" even if it means not seeing a dem get elected.

This will surely set her up to run again in 4 years on the platform that Sen Obama couldn't beat him, but she could.

Such a shame.

I think Rush has a crush on her,he wants her elected so he has at least four years to pick on her for his own job security and in hopes she and Bill will get a divorce.

Rendell is an unpopular lame duck governor of Pennsylvania. Enough said!

If McSame wins the white house we can blame the bitter democratic party! And that will be so sad! I'm still hopeful that the majority of Clinton supporters will come to their senses.

Time will tell!

A vote for Clinton is a vote for McCain/4 more years of Bush. We will know who to blame, and while you're so up in arms now, you'll be hoping it doesn't get brought up at that big Christmas dinner later.

He's a sore loser just like her PUMA supporters.....OBAMA WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER....FACE IT AND LIVE WITH IT!!!

Can we get a round of applause for a politician who is going with his conscience rather than merely doing what is politically expedient? We need many more Ed Rendells in this party. 2230 of them, to be precise!

I had a few dogs in the Democratic primaries before settling on Obama, but I was never a Hillary supporter and this whole convention soap opera is why. She squanders her brilliance and connectivity (with Bill cheering her on) in self-service and a sense of entitlement. Some of her supporters are far worse, throwing tantrums like spoiled children and threatening to destroy what their candidate could not win and they cannot steal. All I can say to Rendell (and those far worse) is: Be Careful. If Obama goes down in history as losing because of the hijinks of the Clintons and their brat pack, the Clintons will be permanent pariahs in the Democratic party.

Who cares............ He was not an option really.

a man of his word, i respect your decision.
and this democrat vote will go to mccain in nov.
bowling green mo.

William – this has so little to do with loyalty, though I admire (to an extent anyways.)

This has to do with the best method for governing our country. And the Republicans over the past eight years have shown complete contempt and incompetence for governance.

It is time to let another party – the Democrats – take the wheel. I support Obama. I would have voted for Clinton had she won. What about all the supporters of the other primary candidates. Should they vote for their candidates?

"If Obama should lose, C'est la vie" – I am saddened that you have such contempt for my children who will suffer the fallout of your "C'est la vie" attitude and another Repbulican adminstration bent on spending us into economic oblivion. Shame on you for your misguided loyalty. Your country should come first, William.

Well Rendell and all of you sore losers, put your money up! I love how you guys get on all of these comment boards crying and whining, but never put any action behind your words. This is why demcrats have such a bad rep as the party that talks a good game but never gets anything done! While BO has over 2 million people donate to his campaign, HRC folks talk a good game, but the proof is in her debt, that you ARE NOT THAT SERIOUS about "your" candidate, lol!

If HRC can't even get her own supporters (18 million supposedly) to come together and help her pay down her debt, than how is she going to bring together the country?

Your comment is awaiting moderation. CNN PLEASE POST!!!

GOOD!! I hope all of Hillary's supporters follow the Governor's lead. Obama is a disaster waiting to happen! He is so not qualified to be President of this country. We do not need another 4 years of an unqualified President. That is all Obama will be.

Hillary should be the nominee!!!

As long as hate rules emotions the Rep. Party will be there for another 10 years. Grow up people or shut up after you get what you asked for. See you at the soap line.

Well Rendell and all of you sore losers, put your money up! I love how you guys get on all of these comment boards crying and whining, but never put any action behind your words. This is why demcrats have such a bad rep as the party that talks a good game but never gets anything done! While BO has over 2 million people donate to his campaign, HRC folks talk a good game, but the proof is in her debt, that you ARE NOT THAT SERIOUS about "your" candidate, lol!

If HRC can't even get her own supporters (18 million supposedly) to come together and help her pay down her debt, than how is she going to bring together the country?

Hey William, aware, and Shree, how about shut it and help pay off her debt if you really care.

If Clinton was such a winner why did she LOSE the democratic nomination. CLINTON supporters are just STUPID. They can't get over that CLINTON lost Obama is the better candidate. Why can't you just let it go.

Dan – you are funny.

Why would Ed Rendell even broadcast this? I hope Obama changes his mind and goes, 'Ya know what? I changed my mind, your wide, whiny butt can't speak at MY convention after all, and take your senile, philandering, pseudo-husband with you.'

Now that's a catharsis...

Go Rendell!!!

Obama will loose without HRC. Hillary is the only right candidate either for president or VP. Obama cannot win by himself

Hillary and Rendell are both losers.

Birds of a feather, stick together, right????? This is NO big surprise!!

all of you die hard Clinton fans are looking so pathetic. Get it through your heads!!!,, SHE LOST!!!!, fair and square. I personally think highly of her, but she still lost. Unify please and lets not have 4-8 more years of a Republican administration

What a rat.

LOL llok, You panseees, think about it!!! Lets say the SDs collectively change their minds and nominate Clinton….what you think are her chances with furious base of young people, activist groups and African-Americas sitting it out? It would be the biggest blowout in election history. She would be humiliated. Face it.

All of you Clinton supporters are incredible. Stop your wimpering and support the candidate that won.

This is absolutely ridiculous. A ROLL CALL IS NORMAL AND TRADITIONAL at conventions! This is all just the media and some Clinton haters trying to stir up trouble. Give me a break! Shame on you CNN for propagating such nonsense!

Obama = Socialism

I agree with swalker3.
This is just too darned much, do people really know what is at stake here. In all my years of voting, my candidate of choice in the primary was not always the nominee; however, I fully supported the chose person. You don't say, oh I'm going to vote for the loser, hell no...you get behind the nominee and you certainly don't throw your vote away and take a chance on electing someone as horrifying as john mccain who is still buried in the past and has been dishonest (Keating 5), UNFAITHFUL and is not a supporter to any women's issues.
Get smart, vote Obama 08.

I am saddened that some dems value power over actually helping to change our country. If either Rendell or Clinton truly believed in what they spout, they would help get Obama elected to get things done. But they don't care about anything but themselves. It's truly sad.

When they start tallying the votes by state at the convention, it will come in alphabetical order and Hillary will build a fairly large lead at some points. Since Obama was good enough to include Florida and Michigan with full vote counts, it will make the final vote even closer and neither candidate currently has enough votes to win the nomination out right. The is where the super delegates come in and this may make some of Obama's super delegates reconsider their vote.

With Bill and Hillary each having a day to speak at the election, it could get interesting.

Hillary might just be the nominee when it is all said and done.

Want these people who supported Clinton give up and back Obamaif you guys were a true harded demoncratic you will back Obama, why you dont hear the republican not supporting McCain. This is so sad to see the demoncratic party not united behind the nonimee.

Obama 08

Don't get me wrong, I would vote for Hillary over McCain anyday if there were no other choices. But I find it hard to vote for her when she smiles like the Joker from Batman. Hmmmmm...

I don't think Rendell will lift a finger for Obama at all over the next few months... he seems slimy and in love with the Clintons.

Obama, don't hang your hope on getting him to help you!

Closure!?!?! Im sorry, but why are we pandering to Hillary so much.... yeah, Bill did a decent job, but we are treating her like she is a godsend and we need to pander to her feelings.

CNN.... why do you allow "aware" to call Obama a loser.... I thought this was moderated? If "aware" has a problem with Obama, at least don't call him or allow him to call Obama a loser.

How about this.... Aware.... you are a loser! Gotcha!

What drivel! The democrats are badly divided but are publicly pretending that all is well. Typical democrat hype.

Something's afoot here Watson...

Perfect reason why not to vote for the libs. Their party is in total disarray and that's just how they would run our country - right into the ground. Wake up you libs, WHY would anyone in their right mind want to vote your candidate into office. You're all a bunch of mindless nimwits.

Thank you, Ed. Finally, someone with a backbone. And a brain.

I plan to write her name on my ballot in November and feel good about it..

How about Obama 08 Clinton 2012!! that way the puma's can be happy and the obama camp can be too!!

Good for you!! Show those Dems that they can't steamroll everyone. I'll be casting my vote for Hillary in November!! My vote, my choice, who cares if I'm in a swing state. Let the chips fall as they may, if the Dems lose it's their fault!!

By the way, if the Obama supporters are so confident then why do they get SO bent out of shape and resort to spewing hate about Hillary...guess it doesn't take a deep thinker to be suckered in to supporting someone with all talk and no substance.

CNN u are orchestrating disunity. This is a not unusual. Obama will be the nominee, but Clinton delegates can still cast votes for her. This has been said all along.

Hillary and the crazy PUMAs don't think it is over. This isn't symbolic - it is her attempt to override the will of the people and the party.

I predict that idiots like Shree Shrestha will try to release some bombshell about Obama and stampede the superdelegates into nominating Hillary.

Hillary supporters: Go ahead and either support McCain or be very lame in your support of Obama and deal with the McCain Supreme Court. You'll lose control over your bodies and you'll end up stuck back in the kitchen.

Great, Governor Rendell. Glad to hear it. Yes, the convention will be an emotional one. I still believe the stronger candidate to beat John McCain is Hillary Clinton. She should hold on to ALL her delegates and we will wait and see what happens during the roll call. She has just as much right to this as Senator Obama. Still a Clinton supporter and if she doesn't win the nomination, she should be picked as his V.P. if the Democrats want to win back the White House. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!

“A woman who wildly mismanages and bankrupts a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar campaign operation, and then blames sexism in society, will dampen the dreams of our daughters.” -MAUREEN DOWD

1) Another horrible title that doesnt accurately describe the article...not sure how this is news, many of the delegates whose districts voted for clinton will be casting their vote as such, wasnt that the whole purpose of putting her name on the ballot?

2) Clinton isnt going to win, she has lost, there is no big conspiracy to keep her out....she just didnt get enough votes, people need to get over it and find someone else to vote for.

3) I cant believe Clinton wants the public too retire her fund, how bout her and bill sell one of their multi-million dollar houses to pay for it, or take some of that book money.....Clintons are a tired scene in washington...was a huge fan of them until they showed how much more they care about personal achievements as opposed to uniting a party hoping to win a huge election, democrats wont win if she causes trouble

Didn't Warren say they tossed a coin to decide who goes first?
If McCain wasn't even in the building, did they toss without him?

Such a big gray area! Can someone answer that?

Something is NOT right!

I like Barack Obama, but he doesn't help her with her debt, then I will not be casting my vote for him upcoming fall. Statistics may suggest that Hillary supporters are turning over to him, but it's in fewer numbers than people think. Clinton 08...we'll have it after Obama destroys any hope for change. UGh.

William:

Inversely, Clinton supporters have done the same-yet would never acknowledge Clinton's kitchen sink strategy, dishonesty, or lack of grace in defeat as any reason for the present disunity in the party.

Whether it is in 4 years or 8 years, educated, global-minded people are going to rise up again and defeat Clinton again.

Shree, Aware & William,

With people like you, ...so wonder the democratic party isn't unified! If you can't help sail(being a team player),....get off the boat.

Anyone but Obama for my country!

Aware worte:

OBAMA IS A LOSER!

Judging by your childish comments, obviously you have more credentials than senator Obama.. do you?

or simply you have lots of time to write continuosly at your desk in a dead end job.

Get a life

Obama 08

Oh no, not everyone is falling in line with the Messiah. How could this be? According to Pelosi, he is a gift from God. Are you joking? Keep drinking the kool-aid people.

aware

Unfortunatly he won over you star Hillary it is either you get over it or the next 4years your are going to be the most stressed person, because Hillary is not going to be the President this time, Obama or Mc Cain one of them no Hillary, get over it well come to real world, you are just like Bush so hard headed and no sense at all.

grow up, ed.

Hillary will NOT defeat McCain, b/c if this nomination is swindled from Obama, Hillary will not be able to gain his supporters and she will lose. I for one wouldn't vote at all.

Everyday, it seems like I hate the Klintons and their racist folks more and more. Never forget.....

Thank you Gov. Rendell

Pathetic. Really. Some people just don't seem to know when to accept defeat. How can you say you'll enthusiastically support someone while voting for someone else. Catharsis, my arse! And I think Hillary Clinton is a lying cow, savouring every bit of this discord smugly, while pretending that she supports Obama. The loser that just keeps right on losing. No grace whatsoever!

William – that is not what loyalty is about. Ed Rendell supported Kerry in 04 and now he supports Hillary. If he was loyal he'd still support Kerry. Oh, he's not supporting Kerry anymore because Kerry is out of the race! BINGO! Bye Hillary.

C'mon CNN, two Hillary tickers back to back? And she's not even in the presidential race? Sounds like you guys are just stirring up trouble and attempting to further divide the Dem party.
Let's see more tickers about Obama or McCain, the two presidential candidates. Hillary is irrelevant.

I guess it's politics as usual, but I don't understand why he would throw away a very important vote just to make a statement. I feel that the only reason he would do this is that there is some potential political payoff for him. Obama may be president in 2008 but you can be sure that Clinton will be back in the picture.

Good for you. The only night I will be watching is when Sen. Clinton speaks. I won't be voting for Obama.

Let's see which reporter will have the guts to ask him if he enjoyed his catharsis!

This is what happens whne you compromise so much, without thinking properly. Obama gone with the wind.

You all are going to be losers come this fall if you keep sticking with Hillary Clinton who by the way is not the nominee. You better wake up and smell the coffee we don't need a Republican in the white house this go around. Yes, I was and still am an Obama supporter but I tell you what if Hillary would have won my vote would be with her. I wouldn't give it a second thought.

aware

I have a question, Do you know obama and if so how?

Ed Rendell is a clown!!! "It honors the work of so many people that supported Sen Clinton..."Let it go already. Obama won the nomination and how about honoring the people that support(ing) Sen Obama.

Can you say that Ed Rendell is a ...Loser!!!

Who care's if this lone governer endorses Obama? His loyalty belongs to Hillary Clinton. Who knows what shwe has done for him over the years. He has the right to vote how he pleases. By now everyone is aware of the overall mentality of individuals from Pennsylvania. You would be hard presses to find individuals that are comfortable voting for a black candidate (it would'nt matter if it was a black man or women). Obama had trouble with Pennsylvania in the primaries and many of the polititions there are indebted to "The Clintons."

BOTTOM LINE.... IT IS NO SURPRISE TO ME....

AND IT'S STILL OBAMA 08......

Just another example to show my son of how NOT to grow up.....of what being "selfish" and "sore loser" is all about.... Sad, isn't it? The Governor is supposed to be a leader, not cry baby.

Ed Rendell is a loser and so is Hillary Clinton. . . These old politicians deserve each other!! Nothing will STOP Pres. Obama though.

If democrate does not win the prsidency this time, then they will never again because all the blacks including myself( I am not black) will never vote for a democratic president.

I'm very disappointed in the fact that you hide behind an excuse of "this is not disunity". You should be supporting Obama AND voting for him. No excuses.

Way to go, Ed! This convention should not be a coronation. Obama won by a whisker. PUMA!

no Hillary now.
no Hillary ever.

enjoy it while you can, but understand that we won't forget.

All hail Hillary, yet again.... All hail the Clinton dynasty (that won't be thank God)! Ooh, ooh, Chelsea 2016!! (BARF)

You Hillary supporters need to stop talking and get to paying up. My goodness what happened to all that love? This should've been a done deal since the primaries were over months ago. Please pay up so she can shut up.

if Hillary has such strong supporters that need to be heard at the convention, let them help her with her debt.
Thank you.

Brilliant!

William
You can also write a donkey and put your vote there who cares, what you want is not gonna happen go barry yourself, enough of this crap

"It honors the hard work of so many people who supported Sen. Clinton."

Now, would that be those "people" who so ardently supported her campaign except for the necessary financial support?
If she really had 18 million supporters, then why don't they help her pay off her campaign debt. Action speaks louder than whining!

Hillary wouldn't have incurred any debt if she would have just managed her ship better than she did, she could even make the decision to run the 3AM AD!!!! Why would you continue to vote for a loser let alone contine to be LOYAL!!!!!

Obama will turn this ship around!!!

President Obama 08

Rendell, you've said and done some really stupid things in your past but this grandstanding vote for Hillary at the convention is perhaps the worst one yet.
Thanks for the party unity support there Big Guy – Are you a secret repug PUMA operative by any chance?

Both of you should stick your heads in a toliet
If she runs again,she will never get my vote.

this is big Ed right but he had better be one of first to rally support for the lawually selection of Obama to repersent the Dems this Nov.

Thanks Ed...have fun with President McCain. You are unbelievable- what did the clintons promise you???? Obama needs pennsylavania- i thought you were a democrat- isnt that whats important- getting a democrat in the white house? Politics arent always fun and sometimes people's feelings get hurt but you have to look at the bigger picture. You disgust me.

I have lost respect for you Rendell and to think I thought you and Obama would make a great team as vice and pres.

Let's say it again.

Even if Hillary were to be named the nominee at the convention, the Republicans will chew her up and spit her out. Why? Two reasons:

1) Campaign debt. If she can't run her campaign finances properly, how will she run the country's finances properly?

2) PUMA's. Your divisiveness and bitterness is perfect fodder for the Republicans. How will she unite the country to move forward and fix the mess we're in if she can't even get her SUPPORTERS to give up the ghost?

Like it or not, Obama is the nominee and the best option we have to get this horrible Republican administration out.

Vote SMART, please, for the sake of your country and our sons and daughters.

This is no surprise. Like Hillary, Rendell also said Obama could not win. Got news?

Uh...William...even Hillary said she is casting her vote for Obama. Why would you negate her vote with yours?

Your "c'est la vie" attitude will negatively affect millions of lives should McCain be elected. Please don't do that to those of us who would have happily voted for Hillary had she won the nomination.

This kind of thing has always happened at conventions. It's no big deal!

It never ceases to amaze me how many idiots we have in this country. If Obama loses this election because of the Clinton Idiots, please make sure that you continue to write on these blogs without complaints about how happy you are that the country has completly gone to hell. What exactly do you think Hillary is so capable of doing? She was the wife of a president. The last time I checked that doesn't qualify you to be president. WAKE UP AMERICA....................!!!!! Stop popping your pills to go to sleep and to wake up in the morning. Get off the medication and wake up! Please for your childrens future, swallow your pride and do the right thing! What are you going to tell your children when they ask why there are no jobs in America?

Rendell is the man and I hope he run's in 2012.

Allowing Clinton's name to be put into nomination is/was dumb move – both Clinton's will do whatever it takes to be the next President and please remember she said she SUSPENDED her campaign not stopped. And in another article it nows says "she is still mired in debt – Clinton seeks cash" HELLO HILLARY... you used YOUR OWN money... tough... go back to work oh wait.. you are still getting paid your senators salary and your husband is still collecting his salary and still getting paid a high premium to speak... Nobody is paying off my debt for money I have spent... PEOPLE the Clinton's do not need a tag day..

The Democrats are so close and they will lose because of just this type of thing. So sad.

Shame on you, Governor Rendell.

As a citizen of Pennsylvania, I am completely disheartened that Ed Rendell would show disloyalty to not only his own party, but the citizens of this state who have moved on from the primaries and have thrown their true support behind the nominee.

This election is ridiculous. I hope Obama knew what he was getting into with the Mi/Fl delegates this whole thing could just backfire on him and he'll spend a year in court fighting over it

why are so many of these clowns who worked for Clinton legends in their own minds? Maybe, I'm thinking, this is a good thing..nominate Clinton, have her losers cast their ballots for her, then support Obama....hmm..yeah, like THAT is the plan. Have no doubt about it–Clinton is and will hope, connive, deceive, plan, plot behind the scenes, until the last ballot is cast making Obama the nominee, to get THAT nomination! the Clinton's long ago decided, it seems, to read the playbook of Nixon and his dirty tricks. Clinton just doesn't get it..it ISN'T because she is a woman that people don't like her...it is because she is a 'slug' like her husband....people who have no use for Clinton would gladly accept someone like Sibelius (whose husband, incidentally, DIDN'T cheat on and humiliate, in front of the world, her.

Obama doesn't need his help anyway. Like Dan said, let HRC's 18 Million so-called supporters bring a dollar to the convention to clear her debt. So sick of hearing about HRC - barf bag please.

Let's hope that Senator Clinton will do the right thing. She lost and that is the bottom line. If Senator Obama had lost – he would have happily supported Senator Clinton and I think that she should do the same thing. Senator Obama's supporters would have gotten behind the Democratic nominee without fail and pulled together to support her no matter what.

NEVER in the history of a presidential race has DUMB comments and actions has been made considering a clear winner for the democratic nominee. Hillary "fans" should put their energy into supporting Obama, global warming, energy and saving the well being of the USA then using their wasted time and energy whinning.

The media has to get over this. If you really think Governor Rendell is not going to put his full support behind the party's nominee in the fall, you're on drugs. There is something that is all too often lost in today's politics and that is loyalty. I was an early supporter of Senator Obama and I remain a strong supporter today. That doesn't mean that I don't respect Senator Clinton and what she has brought to this race. I suspect, Governor Rendell feels the same way and he feels that voting for Senator Clinton at the convention is both being loyal to her as well as to the voters of Pennsylvania. The only problem here is that it was so clear that the Democrats had great candidates this year. You don't see this problem in the Republican party because they didn't have such great candidates. In fact, Senator McCain had to adopt every single policy that has made President Bush the most unpopular President of the modern era in order to satisfy enough of the party base to get the nomination and that doesn't bode so well in an election when over 80% of the country think we're on the wrong track.

Senator Obama will be the Democratic nominee and he'll have a running mate (don't count out that it is Senator Clinton because there could be huge historic significance of having her accept on Tuesday night) that is also capable of working to bring this country together and put it on the right track. And more over, Democrats WILL be united in the fall because we know that changing the course of our country is sorely needed.

Govt. Rendell, I admire your loyalty and resolve. A true supporter. I would want friends like you. If I were a superdelegate and had pledged my support for Clinton I would vote for her anyway!

I still think Clinton is the stronger and finer candidate. What a shame. Oh well, such is life. Clinton all the way!

Who is the loser here?? The one who is mired in debt after a failed campaign or the one who is getting millions in donations a day?

way to go, Ed. you'll be nominating for many of us.

Hillary can't even get her own campaign out of debt; how can she possibly be expected to handle the economic crisis we're in.

Hillary was never qualified to be President. And she ran her campaign into the ground.

Feel free to vote for her in November, Hill-tards! The rest of us have moved on.

Having mastered the politics of division, the democrats couldn't help but divide their own party.

Hearing Obama speak tells anyone that he plans on furthering the divisiveness in this country.

Hillary could have possibly united the country as she is more of a centrist.

McCain is more like a centrist democrat than Obama is.

Govt. Rendell, I admire your loyalty and resolve. A true supporter. I would want friends like you. If I were a superdelegate and had pledged my support for Clinton I would vote for her anyway!

I still think Clinton is the stronger and finer candidate. What a shame. Oh well, such is life. Clinton all the way!

I am a Black 25 year old male and I approve this message…

Contrary to what some people say about 'old guard, sinking with the ship rather than hand the wheel to a new captain' . I would like to say only one thing ..
Think RATS !!
who run from HRC to BO (Body Odor anyone )
we need to get rid for BO .. use the
Mcain '08
followed by HRC '12

Aware-

YOU are a loser and in denial. So obviously you are a Republican, posing as a Democrat. The Democrats will unite. We just have to let Hillary whine a little bit longer.

Definitely OBAMA 08

All you white people doing what you do. Hillary, Hillary, Hillary. Turn your back on the candidate for your party because he is black. You all lack a conscience and should vote republican because that is exactly what you are. Racist, bigotted, idiots that have ne morals and would rather put someone in office because of their skin color then the smarter more educated person who is surely for all the people. We will see how you reap the rewards of a great president. PUMA$$ jerks.......

GOBAMA '08

Obama beat Hilliary. Let us move on people...it's healthier.

Clinton/Rendell...would have been unstoppable.
Obama should be WELL ahead in polls right now.
What's wrong????
Could it be, that when he said, "I'm pretty sure I can get her voters, but I'm not so sure she can get mine..." his judgement was off???
How about, "You're likeable enough, Hillary"
How about snubbing her at the State of the Union,
How about calling her the Senator from Punjab...
How about, "Periodically, she gets upset..."
How about, "I'll have to see her tone before I say I will support her for President" (Michelle)
How about, "If she can't run her own house, how can she run the White House" (Michelle)
How about wiping her offf his shoulder...
How about calling THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT WE"VE HAD IN AGES A RACIST?????
How about, MSM DROOLING over everthing BO did for a year before vetting ANYTHING about him?

And Obama thinks he'll get Hillary's voters????????
David Gergen is absolutely correct, McCain has heart touching stories, a life time of experience to draw upon, and actually is proving to be pretty charismatic and funny. He'll win the debates, why do you think Bo will NOT DEBATE McCAIN before the conventions????? McCain will do a good job as president, he's worked across party lines all his life.

McCain's the one that gave Hillary support when the lovely reverend (another BO friend) said such vile things about her. He has my family's vote.

Govt. Rendell, I admire your loyalty and resolve. A true supporter. I would want friends like you. If I were a superdelegate and had pledged my support for Clinton I would vote for her anyway!

I still think Clinton is the stronger and finer candidate. What a shame. Oh well, such is life. Clinton all the way!

I am a Black 25 year old male and I approve this message…

I am voting for Hillary Clinton also...she should be the nominee..in my lifetime we always had a roll call at the convention. How is it NOW Obama gets to decide that it is OKAY to have Hillary's name and a roll call at the convention. Obama is a nobody that all of the "SO CALLED" change and hope elders in the party want because he is their puppet. Hillary would not put up with being told what to do and what to say...she is the kind of leader that we need.someone who can stand on their own two feet and fight for all of us.Obama is the DEMOCRATS version of George W Bush...thanks DEAN,PELOSI,KERRY and Ricardson..thanks for destroying our PARTY!!!!!( I will give Ted Kennedy the benefit of the doubt that he did not know how naive Obama is)

You don't vote for an individual, you vote for policies and what they are going to do for the country..don't come on this site and sound like a moron !

My pet at home got more sense than some of you hillary suppoeters on this site. I once suppport hillary but it's time to move on.

Who cares! It's time to move on to more important things, she lost, get over it!!

Obama/Biden '08

And by the way, to all of you spoiled, crybaby, sore loser HRC supporters:

Do you not realize that you have set the precedent for all things Hillary in the future. Just as you say, you will never vote for Obama, OBAMA SUPPORTERS WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HRC.

I never will, Obama supporters never will, African Americans never will.

So, basically, HRCs poltical career IS OVER. She and her rude supporters (sound familiar : ) ) have destroyed her career. She will be lucky to retain her senatorial post in NY.

It would be disgraceful not to have a floor vote, and it would be cowardly for Dems to switch horses even this close to the end of the race.

Obama won, right? So if he wins by 4% or 14%, he's still the nominee.

The delegates should vote how they originally voted. Obama will look stronger if wins this on his own, without putting baby in the corner.

PUMA's = not a democratic bone in body, emotions overrule logic & reality

Really...Sexism can go both ways. How can someone who was a favorite as the candidate and a Rock Star as a husband singlehandily ruin her own chances for the nomination? You can blame on Obama as much as you want, but Hillary Clinton is to blame. Her election staff that she put together was totally dysfunctional; if she was elected she would have been the Democrats' version of George Bush! I would love for a woman president, but I am not going to support Hillary just because she is a woman and because she was married to Bill.

Clinton and Rendell had better get their act together- enough is enough- grow up! Obama has been exceedingly gracious – can one even imagine how these people would have reacted if Obama had lost and tried to pull any of this nonsense? Obama won, Clinton lost- get over it!
If Clinton thinks she is a role model for women- she isn't. We have all had to suffer disappointment and get on with our lives.
However if Clinton, Rendell etc are trying to take over the convention or cause an Obama loss they should reconsider. A McCain victory would be disastrous for this country- if they cause that they will bear the blame and shame for what happens to the US and its citizens.

Why does this remove him from the list of candidates? If anything, it makes him a better vp choice, as he might provide that support the PUMA's are looking for, and it means hes one of the few politicians who follows through with what they say they're gonna do...

OBAMA and his supporters will not understand this.

It is OUTSIDE THEIR PAY GRADE !!!

LET THE VOTES BE COUNTED !!!

PLEASE.

Obama isn't a loser. He achieved victory over Hillary and will achieve victory over McCain.

TOO many people need and want something new for this country and for our future generations. I believe McCain is outnumbered by supporters in this area.

Obviously, Rendell is a moron, which is why he probably supported Clinton in the first place.

Would anyone even begin to wonder why the democrats are losers? To begin with, they are sore losers and will never accept the fact that they lost! Check out the Clintons and their campaign, and now their staunch supporters support this fact too. This is why they will never be able to win the WH, even if Obama does not take it this year, they are again doomed to lose it in 2012 for the party is too fractured and divided to ever win again. This is the kind of politics that has been played by the likes of Clinton and other party members and is no surprise that previous supporters are so fed up that they are not incline to vote for anyone now.

Hats off to the Rendell. He and Hillary is the reason I switched to the democratic party. Lets get real folks, you change your support/principles because Hillary came in second. Way to go govenor!

Hillary and Ed are going to get McCain elected. The hardcore Clinton folks could care less that she and her husband have already been impeached. They have already been defeated in the primaries, so all that's left is to throw the election to McCain. Senseless, as well as striking a strong message to the world that war is coming!

Am I the only one still waking up with nightmares, dreaming she is still in the race and making those phony arguments about why she is more attractive to hard working white Americans. Give it a break and try your chance again in 2016.

"If I'm asked a question, I answer it and I tell the truth,” he said last February. "That probably isn't a good idea for someone who is the No. 2 on the ticket."

He's basically calling the potential VP a liar.

Rendell picked his horse and he lost. Time to put him out to pasture.

Good for him-last time I checked-America is a Democracy-Hopefully others will follow to send a message to the bots-that they "selected" the wrong candidate.

Looking forward to some excitement-this is what conventions used to be like-Why were the Dems in such a rush this year??????

Why are the bots on this blog always so angry????-Let it go bots and enjoy the Dem process!

PUMA out in force...get over it she lost!!!!!

She did not lose because of sexism, the media, cheated...she ran a pitful camapign with Mark Penn's losing strategy.

Hillary is a good person and will be a great Senator if she does as Ted Kennedy did when he lost to Carter.

I hope you all watched the Forum Sunday night and heard McCain clearly as he supports everything Hillary is opposed to....if you want that then be stupid and vote for him and suffer the results.

Die Hillary, DIE ALREADY!!!

Govt. Rendell, I admire your loyalty and resolve. A true supporter. I would want friends like you. Clinton all the way.

I am a Black 25 year old male and I approve this message…

Ok to all my democrat friends Clinton will be nominated for president on the democratic convention and the followers of obama will be very happy? Not really but who cares obama , hillary they can't win.

AWARE:

Obama is a loser???????????

Just waht would you call Bush and Cheney over the last 8 years.

Sour grapes buddy? The republicans are going to be toast not only in the House and the Seante, but in th big White House to.

Deal with it.

I don't understand this closure thing some people have. I just like HRC much more than Obama the flip-flopper.

I have utmost respect for Ed Rendell being loyal to Clinton. I wish there were more politicians like him.

On a second note since CNN didn't post my comment in the Clinton debt blog. Why isn't Obama paying off her debt. Hillary paid off Tom Vislick's, and Deans got paid off also. Under the Ethics Reform Act Obama can't use the money for anything personal like clothes, VACATIONS, dog grooming etc. I was really surprised he used the campaign jet to take his friends and family on vacation. I would think this would be a NO NO under that act.

Rendell name should remain on a VP short list.

Clinton/Rendell '08

Well as we can see Obama is change you can xerox. The poor design of the democratic primary vis a vi the DNC leadership lead to this. If you want to blame someone blame DEAN and the media who was biased to the point of being co-conspirators in the elect obama coup.

Ed has decided to retire !
When he said people in 'his' state weren't ready to vote for an AA, he was talking about himself. He basically just endorsed McCain.

Govt. Rendell, I admire your loyalty and resolve. A true supporter. I would want friends like you. Clinton all the way.

I am a Black 25 year old male and I approve this message...

This is the most ridiculous "show of support" I have seen. Clinton supporters...you lost. Get over it and get behind a candidate that can actually win the presidency.

Hey Aware,
Your a loser for that comment. Ignorance is bliss...so you must be bliss.

Aware is abviously a republican in disguise and wants to split the party. The Puma's are good little republican sheep doing the republicans bidding, they just don't know it. It was because of the republicans that Florida cheated, they did this on purpose to split the party, and it worked.

Hillary and Ed

If the Democrats really wanted to – "together" they could blow away Johnny Nuke McCain and the BEER Queen and send the repubs back to the previous century. Actually Johnny would be alright with that as he is still back there fighting in Vietnam. Can somebody remind him that the war is over!!!

The Democrats plan should be to lead America into the 21 century.

This message is endorsed by the “free world”. Well – maybe it is more of a plea!!!!!

I have ZERO respect for either of the Clintons at this point. ZERO. Obama is being too gracious with these losers – it's not their party any longer – time for HillBilly to pack it in.

"...It's going to be a good release for all of us." Yep, just like taking a good dump...lol.

Rendell knows Obama cannot win!

The Democratic Party NEEDS a MAJOR! OVERHAUL!. Forget about 2008 (Barack's gonna fell out short, i.e no 270 EV for him come Nov.) or 2012 (The electoral college's gonna change because of the 2010 Census). So start thinking about 2016. You got 8 yrs. You've! been! warned!.

Pay Hillary's bills Rendell

I cannot wait until the next generation goes out to the polls to vote, and shuts these older insane Puma's and republicans up for good. Boy I can't wait, these older generatons that think they are entitled and could care less about the money being borrowed for free have another thing coming.

It's time for the next generation to take over, and be a real voting block, and such these pos political gangs up. The days of lobbiests and special interests will be answered by the people, by the next generation.

yeah, right........bettter watch "all" the going on's......by any Clinton.

Obama is done!

If you are serious about seeing your party win the white house, you have no business voting for Clinton. All that does is show that you are hanging on to the past and you think Clinton is a better candidate...but the bottom line was she wasn't. I know this may ruffle some feathers, but Obama got the nomination. I would hope that the 18 million would stop trying to silence the voice of those who legally and fairly made their choice. It's time for the Clinton's and the Clinton supporters to put their money where their mouth is and stop playing at unity. If Obama is such a loser, then a loser beat Clinton fair and square...wht does that say. Have the dignity and respect Clinton enough to recognize how hard a victory against her was, and what caliber of a candidate it took to beat her. Otherwise...you are doing a disservice to yourselves, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic party, and this country if McCain wins because of the petty bickering.

Good for him. There will be no unity.

I hope McCain wins and tells Hillary and all of her democratic friends once and for all where to stick all of her brilliant ideas!
Barr in 08!

i agree Dan,
how come her rich supporters and PUMA supporters want everyone else to pay off her debt. Yet they do nothing to help.
Obama supporters have been loyal since day one why should we give to her just because he says so. It would be like the PUMA'S voting for Obama because Clinton said to..

HEY WAIT A MIN........ i keep saying double swords Clinton and Obama supporters need to unite and get over the b.s. i'm sick of seeing constant bickering. no one has anything useful to say about how AWESOME it will be to get rid of the bush administration. AND FINALLY get the democrats back in the WH.

aware August 18th, 2008 11:54 pm ET

If the Democrats want to win they will vote for Hillary Clinton 08. Obama is a loser!

Let's try a little logic here today sir. If Obama won the primary and that makes him a loser, what does that make Hillary since she lost?

Don't try to use the 'she won the majority vote' excuse because it's been shown that she hasn't if you include the caucus votes. We have to count the caucus votes because Hillary said herself that 'every vote counts' and caucus voters are still votes that count.

So, what have we learned here? Obama won, so he's a loser. Hillary lost so she must be a super loser or something.

Is there any way he can be more of a suck-up??

Still, McCain is the bigger loser by comparisan... he went from Anti-Bush (rememeber the push-polling by Rove in the Carolinas?) to our nation's biggest Bush suck-up.

He really is going to extend Bush's failed policies and keep our nation heading right into the ditch. What a suck-up!!

Vote for the smart person, vote Obama... WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!!

I'd laugh if the Dems called an audible at the convention and went with Clinton.

He should, the Great people of PA voted for her as should the loosers Ted Kennedy and John Kerry who states went for Hillary as well......I am glad I am not a democrat where my vote is over ridden by Pelosi and Dean

Take that Dean and DNC! Go Hillary we love you. Democrats for McCain. We are Americans first and not democrat robots.

In the immortal words of Dick Cheney: So?

Thanks...but no thanks. It's losers like this who just can't see the forest for the trees. Get over it so we all move on.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Of course it does not show party disunity to vote for a candidate other than the nominee…what were we thinking?
BTW CNN why are you and the rest of MSM (other than NPR) not covering the Cindy McCain invisible sister story??:??
I know… this one will be awaiting moderation…..forever.
OOOO even better, I bet you close this article to comments!!

waaaaaaaaaaaa
if she would realy help the winner OBAMA she might see some help but untill then I WOULDNT GIVE HER A TOKEN LESS A $$$

maybe she will buy off some superdelegates using her $109 million and then cry for money from her supporters again

She lost... get over it.

OBAMA 08

You go Ed! Vote your heart, not the popular census.....my husband and I are writing in Hillary on the ballet if she is not VP

A Clinton conspiracy as usual.....She is gonna attempt a coup at the convention for sure. Nothing is beyond this woman's lust for power

god save the dems

Rendell was never on the list for V.P. According to the people in P.A., he is doing a bad job for their state. Second, I agree with the ex Clinton administrator that the clinton supporters have a sense of entitlement. I believe they are using the excuse that she is a woman and lets celebrate her accomplishments to undermine the historical nature of Obama's nomination. This is sad because Obama is the first bi-racial candidate to ever be the nominee for a major politcial party. The clinton's sense of entitlement is taking Obama's moment away. I am speaking as a woman.

Hillary looks just like Glen Close in this picture. She is like a fat cloud over this election. She reminds me of the over the Hill lady at the club that wants you to kiss her.

way to go rendell

Why don't we just hand the election over to Sen. McCain now since it appears that is what some Hillary supporters want to do.

He is annoying... I wish to G-d he would have fixed the hunting park housing mess before he left office as mayor in philly. Plus he is a McNabb hater... Obama doesnt need him to win PA.

Rendell, you meathead, can't you and your hare-brained pals put your sore-loser status on hold until AFTER the general election? She LOST! Get over it!

I've been an independent voter all my life, and one reason I would NEVER consider officially becoming a Democrat is because again and again and again you idiots do whatever it takes to lose elections. Give the Repubs credit for at least having common sense enough to rally behind the nominee once he's been chosen.

This is someone who wanted to take care of our money? That was a close one!

It's not about Hillary anymore but ofcourse, the Clinton's can't accept that.

And if he wants Clinton as No. 2 on the ticket, does this mean that he acknowledges that she lies?

Don't blame me, I voted for Lynn Swan.

' "Early on, I said I would cast my ballot for Sen. Clinton," he also said. "I'm going to cast my ballot for her, and then the moment I cast my vote, I'm going to continue to enthusiastically support Sen. Obama. It's going to be a good release for all of us." '

All this "good release" stuff sounds kind of sexual.

Before people go "one more Obamabot changing his mind!", Rendell has always been solidly Clinton and probably will always be solidly Clinton. No big surprise.

For everyone who is going to say that Hillary should be VP or the nominee, what do you base that on? She was completely incapable of running her campaign. She couldn't manage the message, she couldn't budget or manage her finances, and she kept going after it was clear she couldn't get the delegates. Complain all you want about caucuses, each state has the right to choose how it will select a nominee, and the Clinton camp had no problems with caucuses until they started losing in them. With all the problems we have in the US with budgeting and the national debt, do we want somebody who generates millions in debt just in her primary campaign to be anywhere near the national economy?

And really, the Republican party is just as fragmented as the Democrats, if not more so. all the faux bickering and arguing in the "Democrat" Party, courtesy of Republicans posing as Democrats in the internet's anonymity, the fact that the Republican Party is dying is going largely unnoticed. The Republican brand this election year is toxic. McCain can only define himself in his opposition to Obama, he doesn't have anything of his own, he has nothing going for him. And on the state and local levels, it's not much better. Punditry aside, the country is angry at the Republicans, angry at Bush, and the Republican party is split between moderates, militant neoconservatives, and religious fundamentalists.

Why don't all the delegates who are voting for Clinton do some fundraisers to help her retire her debt?

If I never see this wicked, evil, ego driven, power hungry woman again it will be too soon! Enough of her and her demented supporters for life!

WHY SHOULD OBAMA PAY FOR THE LIAR'S DEBT?

Let the billionaire pay her debt. He loves her so much.
Let the 18 million pay off her debt.

LET HER RED-NECK HUSBAND PAY HER DEBT

If everyone is planing on supporting Obama then why the dog and pony show. What a good use of money the dem convention is turning out to be.

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.

I really really hope that McCain is elected. A woman's place is in the home, not in the workplace.

What happens if Clinton gets more delegate votes on the floor then Obama, can she then be the nom? Would the DNC allow that to happen?

Clinton and her wicked supporters have doomed her chances of ever winning another election for anything and I say it serves them and her right. She ruined her political career with her ego driven self and her demented supporters. Its called Karma folks.

Of course it does not show party disunity to vote for a candidate other than the nominee...what were we thinking?
BTW CNN why are you and the rest of MSM (other than NPR) not covering the Cindy McCain invisible sister story??:??
I know... this one will be awaiting moderation.....forever.

I think that Clinton's delegates should cast their votes for her. Obama will still win, we presume. Clinton's supporters invested a lot of energy and emotion in her campaign. Let them cast their votes and cheer their hearts out. It will do them good. It's the democratic way. Everyone has their say, everyone casts their votes, then all good Americans come together to work for the benefit of our nation.

Why are we still talking about this, god the Clintons need to let this go I can’t believe we are still debating this Hillary lost get over it and unite this is crazy....Hillary ran a ugly campaign, it was very nasty towards Senator Obama and they gave McShame all his talking points!!!let’s not forget!!!! Enough already the Clintons should fall in line and unite and stop trying to force their way onto his ticket. Why am I not suprised Mr Rendell!!!!

This entire cast your vote for Hillary crap has no place at this convention. The Clintons make me ill and I wish they would go away. That's why Bayh, another Clinton crony, should not be placed in contention for VP.

GO OBAMA/BIDEN!

Rendell is my governor and crooked as they come so it is no surprise he is voting for her. BTW why would people want a person who couldn't even manage her campaign finances to run their country? It is baffling and disturbing to say the least.

Liar..LOSER! What more can be said?

Why would Rendell do this when Senator Clinton even said that she's not voting for herself.

Rendell can't really be trusted. I mean when you admit that your state may not be ready for a Black president, you are basically calling your constituents, racist and backward bigots.

I bet if there was a black surgeon and he was the only one who could save the life of one of your children, I bet my Chocolate Chip Cookies and Milk that a person's color wouldn't matter.

Hes not a crime boss.

Breeze, meet steam of urine.

"My guess is that Eddie boy will not be riding on Air Force One for the next four years!"

Correction.... Next Eight Years!

Well. Someone's made of failure.

Here is a simple test to see if Senator Clinton (her family and former supporters also) are truly sincere in helping and doing everything they can to elect Senator Obama: Go on Sunday talk shows and DEFEND him vigorously.

Senator Clinton has been conspicuous in her absense from these venues since her "suspension" and after the convention, it would be appropriate and show solidarity to the cause if she ventured forth.

Yes Gov Rendell, it's best that you aren't in the #2 spot. After all, you were the one who said during the primaries that the good hard working blue collar folks in Penn just aren't ready to vote for a person of color. I hope they prove you wrong in Nov.

DEMS 08

Ed Rendell is voting for Clinton at the convention. Then let Rendell retire Clintons debt. I am a Barack Obama supporter and all the money I have to give will go to his campaign with all the negative underhanded thrown at Obama from McCain he needs all the funds he can get to fight the negative ads from McCain. I also find it disturbing that the Clinton supporters would impose upon the Obama supporters to help retire Clinton debt and stating all she have done for him forgetting that all the Obama supporters have been doing for him from day one. What are they going to get for all their hard work. I hope at least him President. Another thing no one owe Clinton anything for he bad judgement to stay in the race when it was mathematiclly she would lose. She allowed her ego to drive her then that is her little red wagon problem I live from month to month She have millions why should I take from my family to give her money. Anyway what she is trying to do take from Obama so that he will lose to McCain?. Anyone that would vote for McCain must be just like him. I would never vote for McCain in a hundred years. All he is doing is pandering for votes. Once he is elected he will carry out Bush Third term. I won't be deceived. No on VAIN McCain!!!!! OBAMA 1 20 09.

where's the unity? still comparing votes, let them fall where they may.

Some will do the right thing for the party! We need someone to take us out of debt!

I think the convention is going to be an emotional one.

Obama is a bad choice. Superdelegates need to wake up and smell salt and vote for real candidate Hillary. Hillary will surely defeat McCain but Obama has no chance at all.

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.

Who cares? Rendell is just a bloviating Clinton shill. He has been beholden to Bill and Hillary since he was DNC chairman in the 1990s. This isn't news.

OBAMA IS A LOSER!

If the Democrats want to win they will vote for Hillary Clinton 08. Obama is a loser!

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.

As far as Hillary's debt goes, if each one of her loyal 18 million fans brought one dollar with them to their catharsis episode at the DNC... her crying game would finally come to and end, forever.

"am asked a question and I tell the truth" – code for loser with bad past.

Can you spell "crime boss"?

Sad. The old guard would rather sink the ship then hand the wheel to a new captain.

Would that more SD's would vote for the candidate that carried their state. Unfortunately, people like Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson, etc., refuse to honor the will of their people.

Gov. Rendell, REALLY?? I don't for one minute believe he would be cast his vote for Hillary Clinton if Biden or Dodd or even Edwards had gotten the nomination. All I can say is if people like Ed Rendell cause the Dems to lose this election with all this division and bigotry then they get what they deserve. No energy plan, no end to the war, continued tax breaks for the wealthy, etc., etc. etc. We know this won't affect them personally but I hope it ends up getting a bunch of them voted out in their next elections...

Gov. Rendell I admire your decision to vote for Hillary at the DNC in Denver. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the delegates would see the light and everyone would cast their vote for Hillary? It would be the best thing that could happen for our country. Needless to say, I will certainly be waiting for 2012 when I can again support Hillary's run for the presidency, and I know that at that time, she will be the victor!!!!!!!!! HILLARY FOR 2012! I can hardly wait.

HAVE YOU NOTICED FOR EVERY 5 VIDEOS CNN HAS OF

OBAMA

CNN ONLY HAS ONE OF MCCAIN....

JUST LIKE CNN DID WITH HILLARY

CNN AND NBC....PATHETIC...THIS IS NOT OBJECTIVE

REPORTING BUT BIAS REPORTING...

AND THIS IS COMING NOW FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS

VOTED DEMOCRAT ALL MY LIFE AND NOW INDEPENDENT

THANKS TO MEDIA

the only closure will be either Hillary on the ticket as Pres or VP nominee, or the election of McCain. Arrogance and "no place to go" must be dealt with – and with Democratic Congressional control to continue, there is no "fear" (be it judges or choice or whatever) that will stop PUMA. First time in 60 years my money, time, and vote with go GOP rather than Democratic – but the Democratic Party muct be made democratic again.

Way to go... thou need not fear Obimation of this country...
Love your guts Rendell...
HILLARY 08...For our nation's sake

Rendell, why are you being so sore at Obama,a man that have
consider you as his running mate and you are still Hillary.
What happen to party unity on your part. Let's get this thing
together we are democrates.

Governor Rendell honors the democratic party with his respectfulness, honesty and loyalty. It still baffles me that a woman that has prepared all her life for this historic moment, with her experience, professional background, intelligence and sensibility has to concede to this flash in the pan man senator that came out of nowhere, has virtually no experience and lacks depth, content and scope in his message and actions. He has shown a condescending attitude towards senator Clinton and those who are not in agreement with his views. Sorry Mr. Obama but you still don't convince me and many millions who are waiting to see your true colors...

integrity

Rolling in the mud with Hillary is the perfect place for that pig Rendell.

OK, where are all the PUMAS saying that Hillary will win? All you jerks need to get a life. Voting McCain and installing an unstable, conservative, angry man into the whit ehouse out of spite is not only moronic, but childish.

As for McCain...what a liar. He lied about the cone of silence thing. He then accuses Obama of being ambitious. So what exactly is McCain...unambitious? Yeah, right, he's only running for POTUS. What an idiot.

I had more respect for Rendell before I read this Ticker.

Obama '08

Rendell says he's voting for Clinton at the convention.Bill had better watch Rendell........Ed help her with her Debt

How can people support one candidate and vote for another. I really think this is just another attempt to divide the party. This is a sad day in America.

Dude, she lost.

I think Rendell is doing right thing, he is a real gentleman and honest politician, not like Judas Richardson. I can smell that Obama makes a huge mistake for VP and lose to McCain easily, anyway McCain is a whole lot better and pure American Candidate. I am very happy as Independent after lifelong Democrats. Bush didn't lead us well, but Republican is much better than Democratic Party, DNC is the most stupid idiot I have ever known, I wish CA voters rid of Pelosi next term, she is the most cunning and crafty woman in Washington. I couldn't watch she plays tricks with Obama.

All I'm hoping is that the Republicans don't take back the White House in November. If that happens all of us average American citizens who make less than 250,000 dollars a year may as well say goodbye to life as we used to know it.

And you fools reading "Obama Nation," please vote for McCain, because we don't want such hatred in the Democratic Party...the GOPers can have you ALL to themselves.
If you think 4 more years of Bush (McBush) is really what this country needs...more bloods spilled in unnecessary wars, more $4+ gasoline, no more money for schools, education, bridges, highways, airports... all that infrastructure stuff McBush will build in Iraq but calls it "pork" here that we can't afford.
All this joblessness, food inflation, the energy crisis, crashing stock market....it's all a MENTAL recession.
Get over it!!!!!!!!! Go read "Obama Nation." Fill your minds with lies and distortion. You're half brain dead already.

So, what you are trying to say Ed Rendell is that, Hillary;s name which

is placed in Nomination on the First Roll Call, is nothing but a facade,

a symbolic piece of patronizing to Senator Clinton.

If that is true, that the vote will only be symbolic, there will never be

unity in the Democratic Party and in effect that will be the demise of

the DNC, which is too rife with corruption.

This is what I call loyalty! Rendell is a man of honesty and knows that Hillary Clinton is the right choice to be the nominee, not Obama.

The only way that Obama will get my vote is to put Hillary Clinton on the ticket, or better yet, have the delegates vote to give the nomination to Hillary Clinton, and then put Obama on the ticket as her VP. That we it would be a slam dunk on beating McCain in November. Then the White House would stay in the hands of the Democrats for the next 16 years.

It would give Obama the time to get the experience and skills to then AFTER Hillary Clinton serves for 8 years, he should be ready to lead our country.

He will be a governor for life if reelected.

As long as he turns around and votes per Hillary to make the nomination unanimous. I am imagining that he has done his part to also retire her debt.......pumA's shout alot, but don't seem to really "support" their candidate.
Hillary should have stepped aside in MARCH- and after seeing all these memos from her campaign coming out- I KNOW the debt situation would not be what it is. She had bad Counsel, loud but non-supportive backers, and turned off many of us former admirers by her actions in the primary.
Go ahead Gov. Redell- but put your money where your mouth is as well.

I hope so Governor Rendell, if you don't, the people of PA will throw you out of office next election. A lot of democrats all over USA will be voting a lot of incumbents out of office this election who did not endorse Hillary when she was the winner in their district. PAYBACK IS A BIATCH!

That's not unity. It's the same old divisive politics Sen. Obama is trying to eradicate. The primaries are OVER governor!! You're just playing into the hands of the McBush camp: "See, Pennsylvania's own Democratic govern won't even vote for Obama! What are you REALLY trying to show your state's residents? Hillary knows you've been loyal... but that's history. She LOST, fair and square!

I heard so much about the reverend and Farakan when some try to discredit Obama but nothing about Rendell who is a true Farakan follower and never hesitated to declare it with solemnity in his speeches. Is it because he endorsed Clinton?

I don't know how long I will await moderation this time. Do You?

Hillary made Obama.He is a bi-product of Clinton haters.Thank you Republicans.And if Bush was quaified,then any part of Obama ,including the trash he takes out,is qualified.

Give it a rest already. Hillary shouldn't even get a count. It's sad that she puts her ego before everything else... and that idiots like Rendell will follow her around like a puppy dog.

Finally someone who stands for his principles. Thank you Governor Rendell. Anyway Obama will not win in November but if this is what the Dems want, , let it be.

Whatever!!

I always said that if Clinton would use her brain she would run as an indepedent like Joe Lieberman did. I am an indepedent and I think she could beat both of these two guys in a three way split. If not she could at least beat the liberal democrats and retire them from being a potent political force for probably a good fifty years. She owes nothing to these left wing nuts and the democrat party leadership which is comprised of these snakes. They shafted her so why not shaft them back. She could easily take care of Pelosi, Reid, Howard Dean and the ones who turned on her. What better vigiance. I noticed she shoved Judas Richardson away when he tried hugging her in New Mexico. She will probably not be able to exact her punishment on Fat Ted. I think God has beat her to the punch there. Probably for the young girl he killed years ago.

excellent decision by Ed!

i just read some UGLY comments posted by Obamaphiles on another CNN post. the hatred they spew at anything Clinton-related is utter ignorance and very very scary!

Obama has divided this country LIKE no Other Pol, ever! He has wounded us and brought out SUCH hate.

This man will never ever get my vote. And i'm very sorry he was engendered such hatred.
His decision to run was deeply flawed! He has divided the US for a long time to come!

Rendell.. you piece of garbage. Ok... you want to vote for Clinton at the convention.. no problem.. you of course have the right to vote for whoever you like... and if you feel you have to vote for Clinton either because you believe she's the best candidate.. or just because you want to make a symbolic statement... nothing wrong with that.

But.. to say that you are then going to support Obama, and then say that you're not being divisive.. and then make a this comment:

"If I'm asked a question, I answer it and I tell the truth,” he said last February. "That probably isn't a good idea for someone who is the No. 2 on the ticket."

What exactly are you trying to imply? That Barack is lying to people? And how is this not being divisive?

If all her supporters would vote for her, she could win! If Obama picks her for veep, the two can win!!

Obama/Hillary 08

Rendell will probably vote for McCain, we all know who the real Rendell is because he exposed himself.

Woo hoo -2250 more to go!
Go Hillary

All this does is fuel the false hopes of the PUMA girls club but proves that Hillary only cares about herself and her legacy, or lack thereof. Her name on the roll call is defiant, divisive, and polarizing, and does nothing to solidify the party. When will this egomaniacal woman realize that SHE LOST??? Thanks to Hillary's sense of entitlement, and her rabid, sore-loser supporters, It'll be a long time before I even consider voting for a woman as President. I don't want the Def-con level to change each time some post-menopausal liar like Hillary has an emotional meltdown, or catches Bill doing something naughty. I used to like the Clintons. I voted for Bill. Now I'm just tired and disgusted with them.

To Hillary Clinton: We ask that you NOT give your delegate votes to Obama at the convention. We ask that you make a statement of valor and regard to your 18 million supporters. Just like the individual who stood in front of the tanks in Tiananmen Square in China in 1989 to give voice to the oppressive and repressive treatment of it's citizens – we ask that you find your voice again, your voice that was silenced by the gender bias, the sexist smears, the repressive and oppressive media conglomerates and their mouth pieces that snickered and smirked at the possibility of a female President.

This is especially significant since there is NOT one female being seriously considered as a vice presidential choice. We've had enough of this exclusive male club whose only purpose is to keep the political status quo male dominated.

The guy has been a buffoon all his life and if it wasn't for the regressives in Pennsylvania he'd be like Howard Dean and looking for a real job.

Way to Divide the party genius. Glad you'll get your release – and make others question themselves.

Undiluted rubbish! It is pathetic that some of these people are so bitter and, therefore, so unmagnanimous and ungracious. These kind of rationalizations fool nobody. The time to show unreserved solidarity was right after the primaries, in fact long before they were finally over.

Yeah, this is the governor of a state that had its residents interviewed saying "I won't vote for Obama because he's black and Hillary is white" or "Obama...his name's Hussein isn't it? That can't be good".

Hillary put out hateful ads against Obama in Pennsylvania. For the governor to back her shows what kind of person he is. Sometimes being loyal doesn't mean you're also good.

Good for Rendelll. He knows the true winner.

Even if Hillary isn't on the ballot, I will write her name in...as all supporters of her should do.

I don't dislike Obama, I just don't think he has the experience.

Go ahead, write remarks that I am an idiot or stupid for doing such.

As for a remark I had read earlier today on another article by someone calling themselves "Over the hill for Obama" or something similar:

You said Hillary would lose the black vote if she got the nomination. Sure, around 90% of the black vote was for Obama. I have to ask why that is. Whites are accused of being prejudiced when they favor whites. So, what is the difference here?

Hillary '08 and '12

ALL Hillary supporters should cast their votes... and wouldn't it be a surprise if she gets more delegates than Barack... what will they do then?

Good for Governor Rendell! I'm peeved that Obama remains aloof and indifferent where the Clintons are concerned. He needs to be sent a message, and Rendell's vote for Clinton at the convention will be a reminder to Obama that the Clintons and their supporters matter.

This man must be a Joke.
He is for him self, they are many other ways of thanking Hillary
for her services to humanity. But it should not be at the expenses of Obama. or Dc.
-Who knows if he is from kkk district.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! other than that what else can I tell U.

And this is News how??? ...

isn't he a Clinton SD ... who do you expect him to cast his vote in the Convention

Ed Rendell...there's a word for people like him. It starts with an A and ends with an E, and it's not artiste...AD

. . . and so should everyone else, if they're smart and want a democrat elected.

Will someone please tell Rendell to show how much he loves and supports Hillary Clinton by asking all of her 18,000,000 supports to each give $1.00 to help her clear up her debt. They don't love her, love is an action word, they are simply trying to keep themselves in the spot light, and cause trouble at the convention.

OK Fast Eddie... I hope you don't need the votes of anybody that supports Obama...

It is not the right message for the Governor of PA, a state Obamwould like to win to do this.

Real dumb. Don't believe the hype that your state is ga-ga for Hillary.

i would like to see the super del and others change their vote at the convention and vote for clinton. She is a fighter and would win the election. for myself i now will cast my vote for mcCain

Rendell is a jerk and a bigot and always will be. This is not a surprise

At least you say you tell the truth – how can you support a liar like Ms Bosnia Sniper Fire?

Great......ok, she was put on the ballot to satisfy all those disenfranchised Hillary supporters by giving them a voice at the convention......but the plan is, maybe Rendell didn't get the memo, to rally behind the winner, Barack Obama

Hillary was beaten fairly....there was no sexism on Obama's part and no Racism on Hillary's part.......besides both of them shared 95% of the same ideas.......Unity is what we need, because McCain cant be president and Obama needs all the help he can get....

At some point you would think the Clinton's might consider doing something other than grandstanding, whatever happened to the gracious loser? Now we have the loser that won't go away, it's like a bad dream.

I must agree with Rendell: He'd make an absolutely rotten running mate.

Thank you Governor Rendell. You make my home state proud!

Great Ed...me too. Even if I have to write her name in come November.

The next time Rendell tells the truth will be the first time.

NO SUPRISE!

The Democrats will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. How can we mount good offense when our own would harm us first and we're wasting time and effort defending ourselves.

I will always appreciate the Clinton Administration for putting forth good, sound policies and for the benefit of Americans but I will never forgive them their selfishness now at our expense. We've got alot of work to do and we need everyone on board. Graciousness is priceless.

Good for you Guvner Rendell.

DO IT FOR THE LADY!!

I hope the OBAMABABIES don't riot and burn Philladelfia down.

Good for Governor Rendell! I hope he starts a trend!

Hey ED,

STAND STRONG
for CHANGE

OR

FALL HARD
for the SAME!!!

Given your comment about whites in your state not supporting any black candidates, I doubt that you will be working hard to get OBAMA elected!!!

Just another Clintonite living in the past. Let em have their moment in the spotlight at the convention and then let them ride off into the sunset with memories of yesteryear because as far as I am concerned Obama and his supporters played by the rules fair and square. I just think Clintonites still are in shock that their woman did not get the nomination. For those Clintonites that will vote for John McCain, well just tells me how uneducated these folks are when its been almost 2 months and still your pouting over the loss. Get over it because if you don't and we end up with this old school jerk, your going to wish you had a democrat in the white house. I used to be a Republican myself folks and the party never represented what was best for my interests. Obama is not perfect, but listening to him sure makes me more and more to want to go with his camp, than go with McCain's. For those that say that Obama is inexpierienced, well for those Clintonites, you half to remember back in the early 1990s when your man Bill was in his first term, he made mistakes along the way, well you half to remember something, were all human, Obama is very intelligeant and gifted I think and I think that he may not have all the answers and make mistakes along the way, you look at Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan, or John F. Kennedy or any great leader, and mistakes are made, but eventually look at how all these leaders came out, stronger and better than ever.

The man would not know "truth" if it smack him in the face. This is not surprising...this goes to show Rendell, Carville, and others would prefer disunity at the convention. Obama had no intention of picking Rendell for #2 that was clear after his comment about "America is not ready to elect a Black president" I will laugh come November when Obama is elected president, and all the hypocites will crawl back into their holes. THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES.............

Thank you Ed, for being a real stand up guy and faithfully representing the will of your constituents. I'm proud to have you as the governor of my home state. Shame on others, like Kennedy, Richardson, and Kerry, for not voting the way their states went.

Good for him! He is supporting the will of the people of his state and isn't that is what his role is as a delegate anyway! THANK YOU!!!

Bravo, Mr. Rendell!! Finally... A politicician with testicular fortitude!

Why do HRC continue to perpetuate a fraud.

Horray for Rendall, one honest delegate amoung a bunch of crooks.

No surprise.
I am in PA, and Bill Clinton appointed Rendell's wife (a judge) to the U.S. Court of Appeals. All part of the Clinton machine.

You are a ridiculous man who's lost in this deeply disturbed mind of yours. Get with the program and stop trying to create problems. What a loser.

Just another "good ole boy" being loyal to his race.

Well that's vote that only helps Mc Bush. I hope he losing his next election as he is a traitor to his Party and own values IF he is a true Democrat.

Obama is behaving ungraciously toward Hillary Clinton because he is not a gracious man.

He continues to raise obscene amounts of money for himself, and he ignores the situation faced by Clinton.

If we are to continue to have a choice of candidates after the dust settles on Obama and his arrogant crusade, winners MUST help losers with their debt. This is way beyond the personality issues of Obama and Clinton. It's about ensuring that people will run for office. It is ROUTINE, it is BUSINESS AS USUAL for winners to help the others with staggering debt.

Our system now requires outrageous amounts of cash, and good people will simply refuse to run for office if they can be wiped out financially in the event they lose.

Let this be a lesson to all who consider running for any level of government. The days of real choice for electorate are numbered, and Obama is singularly responsible.

A vote for Obama is a vote for Big Money Politics – a shame for a nation that prides itself when they say anyone can grow up to be president.

Big Suprise and this is breaking news how?

Goo for him! Hillary was shafted by the DNC. They just made matters worse by giving Obama Michigan delegates, though not a single vote was (or even could have been) cast for him.

NOW I KNOW WHY THIS REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR RENDELL. GUESS I'LL HAVE TO VOTE REPUBLICAN THIS TIME.

PUMA. You Ed Rendell at least somebody still has some sense.

Thank You Governor Rendell! I hope a lot follow, Do it like 1932!

Laugh it up now, Hillary 'cause you are on your way to the Senate when Barack becomes president. Obama will be the next gen president that will put an end to eight years of the Bush/Cheney autocracy. You and your pals like to laugh it up at our expense but the last laugh will be on you.

R E F R E S H I N G ---–T H A T 'S --–L E A D E R S H I P

Oh, Ed – you're such a bloody genius.
Well, in response to that, I'm going to
shoot someone with a gun, and the
moment I shoot them, I'm going to
continue to advocate gun control.

Its going to be a good release for me.

I'm okay with this. I'm okay with everyone voting the way they were pledged to vote. It's not like it's a big secret that the race was close. The roll call should reflect the vote and then we can all move on to elcting Barack.

I hope that all these people know what they are doing, cause lots of people might turn away from Hillary if Barake loose. I hope that they are thinking hard, real hard.

Ed this shows that you are a man of your word unlike Richardson ( Judas ) Thanks for standing with her, Ill remember.

Is this guy a prick or what?

Bernie Moore-Knowles
Kea'au, Hawai'i

What a twerp!

This is the same guy that told Peter Paul to lie to protect Clinton...

Disgusting...

We knew that all along. They are planning to tak eover the convention and Rendell will be her VP. Plan o it.

At least he's honest, I can respect that.

Lets get that roll call over with and move on with the campaign to get Obama in the WH.

Hillary knows she won't be the nominee after all this time or she would have been campaigning.

Dean, Kennedy, Kerry and Pelosi did a disservice by dissing Hillary from the beginning. If I was a delegate, I too, would vote for Hillary. Hillary can win over McCain, something Obama can't do.

First let me get this out, I am voting for Obama. I must say that democrats like Ed Rendell will test your party loyalty. They have shown a GREAT amount of attention to a canidate that has LOSS and have made it so public with no SHAME. Get OVER it, SHE DIDN'T WINNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Question to those that think like Ed Rendell : I would love to know how LONG do you think Bill Clinton would have agreed for his losing nominee to dominated his win as our nominee and his camp demanding things that would have not been if he was the loser? What's so sad about this is I bet every democrat can't even remember his opponent democrat who loss in the primaries against him?

Obama

At least you say you tell the truth – how can you support a liar like Ms Bosnia Fire?

Hoping for a spot in 2016?

What do you expect a stupid governor from a stupid state

I never really liked Rendell anyway.........Fat boy!!!!!!!

Rendell You are a MAN OF WORD

traitor to the party.he owes clinton.that's all.

...and then he is going to support Obama...isn't that the point of the rollca;ll...to recognize Clinton's run formally in the DNC history...only the media wants to keep this going or the few who would rather vote for a Bush third term so Clinton MAY have a chance in 2012...

She is desperate and still has hopes that a miracle would happen and she would win. Rendell is a JerK..no more words to define him.
She can go and beg her 18 Million and she wont get a dime.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

I am so disappointed in how the Democratic primaries turned out. I am probably one of the few African American woman who does not support Sen. Barack Obama. I frankly do not feel that he is qualified. There is no history on this guy. If he wins the presidency, I am afraid we are going to have another Jimmy Carter era. ( I am not wasting my vote.) The media is taking up for him. I have never seen anything like it. I will see news articles on various websites about comments made against Obama and the articles defend Obama and crushes anyone who opposes him. Let him defend himself like everyone else.

I saw on one news commentary where two newsmen were just drueling over Obama. They were comparing him to Rev. Martin Luther King and Kennedy. Give me a break. He gives a good speech but what about the content? If he wins the presidency, he will not have earned it. The media is saying he is raising so much money, my question is if we are in a recession and people are losing their homes and with people in some parts of the country standing in food lines, how is he able to raise so much money and where is it coming from?

We are in perilous times and this is not the time to take a chance on a freshman senator from Illinois. Hillary Clinton worked her tail off while Obama was taking vacations. Hillary and Bill Clinton would be a 2 for 1. They were smart then and they are smart now. I can't understand why people have turned against Hillary and Bill ( or the media) I am for the 2 for 1 deal.

Signed,

Disgusted in Texas

Rendell can vote however he likes. But if the Clinton supporters think they can sabotage Obama so that she can run again in 2012, they can forget it. No one's memory will be that short. And since all of the Democratic electorit is needed for a Democrat to win, she can forget about the black vote. We have voted percentage wise in the high 80's and better for Democratic (white) candidates for president for years with no reservation. But we will not be taken for granted or disrespected with a sabotaged Obama campaign. If she had had the most delegates within the rules of the DNC (so don't try to bring up FL and MI), we would have supported and voted for her. If we lived through Jim Crow, we can live through more republican rule.

Why haven't we seen any stories envolving McCain's children from his first marriage?

Could it be that they don't respect him? Are they refusing to be interviewed or are McCain's koolaid sippers, the mainstream media, protecting him like they did Edwards by not bringing attention to his adulterous past? Did McCain threaten them not to make any public statements?

Or that they are following the golden rule-

If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. I think that lack of support says volumes about not only McCain's family values but also his morals and his ethics.

Everyone should vote for Hillary! Hussein Nobama has proven that he can not unite the party. Plus every time he speaks without a teleprompter telling him what to say he proves he is the most stupid candidate to run for office! Proven fact!

Watch him Bill, payback is a MUTHA. He stands by her more than you Bill.

This is B.S.

There is something incredibly "Clinton"...I mean fishy about this whole frickin thing.....What in the heck are you people up too?

I have a feeling someone is about to get screwed........

This 29 year old male PUMA will not vote for Obama. The party is NOT united. What the Obama campaign pulled on McCain, accusing him of cheating in order to focus the attention away from Obama's poor showing at the forum reminds me of the tactics they played against Clinton and reinforces why I refuse to support Obama.

Rendell says he's voting for Clinton at the convention.
Help her with her Debt SIR!!!!!

Rendell is the best!
He's been around the block and sees right through Obama.
Obama is a politician from Chicago conning the American people, especially the kids.
Thank God for people with brains like Rendell!

This is another set-up just like the forum on religion was on saturday by the weasel Rick Warren.. When will the Hillarites and those who want to be near the Queen B understand that you are attempting a coup of sorts.. You jaded, bitter PUMAS will get what you deserve. Your precious one will get trounced by the Repubs IF she steals the nomination. There are a few things that the Repubes like less than the Clintons. The turnout of the Repulsicans would be relitively low if Obama is the nominee rather than Billary...

You Pumas will stop at nothing until your anointed one gets the nod.. IF she is such dire straights Pumas, put your cash where your lips are and help your lady friend out. But NO you don't want to help her out. Talk about the kettle calling the pot black.. IF the roll call works like SHE thinks it will, the Dems will not hold the White House for 30-50 years.. Think about what you Pumas want to do!!

Anti-Puma.. Anti-Clinton..

At least he isnt like the the two faced Richardson! Some people stick to their guns and I think that takes far more guts. While Obama has it locked up I am sure, I applaud Rendell for sticking by his endorsement.

Thank you, I wish I could do the same

Hillary supporter

Who cares. Obama was smart enough not to pick Rendell anyways, and this ensures that he will not. Besides, the Democrats are not going to lose Pennsylvania.

Biden and Clinton are Obama's best choices (if what I hear about Clark and Bayh not being VP is true).

Why haven't we seen any stories envolving McCain's children from his first marriage?

Why is this news? I think that the media is continuing its quests to inspire "what's wrong with Obama? the sky is falling, the sky is falling"! We already know that 70% of the coverage on him has been negative. And yet he is still ahead. There will be no October surprises. The only thing surprising is the koolaid sipping media pals of John McCain are still not vetting him and his past and his supossed "strengths" (his maverick status, his POW cloak he drapes himself in but somehow "never wants to talk about it", his moral values). They would rather fester rifts in the Democratic party with continued stories like this one.

Well... If it makes him feel better, goferit.

And, I'm still withholding my donation to Hillary... cause it makes me feel worse...

OMG....i used to love the Clintons, now she has killed any chance of EVER running again. even with her 18 million supporters she has caused herself any chance of running. i know the pathetic (repubs) PUMA fanatics are going to love this one

This convention is not about hillary and rendell only has one vote, just like everyone else. What he should do is retire hillary's debt so she won't be asking people who have less money than she to retire her debt.

It is really sad that given any opportunity Obama fans have to insult, degrade and vilify Hillary Clinton they come out in droves. You Obama fans have such an unbalance and biased opinion of Senator Clinton and that is what is destroying the Democratic party. Obama fans have treated her worse than any Republican ever has during this campaign. Obama fans are the reason why there is no party unity. You all need to get over yourselves. Obama and his camp want Clinton donors to raise money for HIM, They want Hillary and Bill to campaign for HIM and they want Hillary supporters to fully support HIM but they truly just want her to disappear. What are all of you afraid of ?

CNN do you think at sometime in my lifetime you will post one of my post?

That sounds great to me Governor.

Hillary Cliinton or John McCain for President 2008

A lot more people than you realize will vote for Hillary. Especially those that are going to get ousted by their states and districts who supported Clinton. Would be hilarious if Clinton actually gets more votes than Obama. Man that would be hilarious...

Still, the DNC convention is going to be a circus and there will probably be some booing by Hillary supporters when Obama gets up there. Only booing at the RNC will be when they talk about Barack Hussein Obama and the winning Republican Machine lets out a collective boooooooo as to how bad a nominee Obama really is. Feel really bad for you Dems on November 5th, 2008....what a mistake you have made.

WHO?

Wow........a true friend and supporter that follows through with words and actions. No, he would not make a good Obama VP.

He is a idiot. Why are they going back on this. I am so sick of Hillary and company. I think we should replace all of them.

No kidding, Governor. Being Outspoken gets you nowhere in politics.
Schmooze Schmooze Schmooze!

Nice to see loyalty out there from somebody!

Go Rendall!!!!!!! I know that Hillary is going to release her delegates, but don't let DNC and Obama supporters bully you vote with your heart! Now I just wait for all the hate.

What an honorable thing to do! I love it! Go HIllary! HILLARY FOREVER!
