Breaking News: Ed Rendell Is Voting For Hillary In Roll Call

hillaryrendell-2.jpgBreaking News from Mark Halperin and The Page. Governor Ed Rendell tells the PolitikerPA:

“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.”

He said this in his interview with the PolitikerPA:

Gov. Ed Rendell, in an interview with PolitickerPA.com today, lauded the resolution reached last week that will allow Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination, before U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) ultimately accepts the party’s presidential nomination.

“I think Sen. Obama was extremely generous, and I think it’s good not because it will display any disunity, but because it honors the hard work of so many people who supported Sen. Clinton,” said Rendell, who was one of Clinton’s most visible and vociferous campaigners during the run-up to the state’s April primary. “Many of the Pennsylvania delegates worked their heart out for Sen. Clinton, and they’re excited to cast a vote for her. From my vantage point, that will be closure for them.

Rendell thinks it will be closure for Hillary’s supporters. The only way it will be closure for Hillary supporters is if she is the nominee. Hillary is still the best choice for the Democratic Party.

It is a little too late for Obama to try to woo us over. We are reminded each day that Donna Brazile said there is a new Democratic base and most of us aren’t welcome. Then Obama tells Hillary supporters to just “get over it”.

Thanks Governor Rendell but your promise to vote for Hillary in the Roll Call just isn’t enough.

Governor Rendell, remind the Super Delegates Obama has some real issues, issues that could result in defeat for the Democratic Party in November. Here is the worrisome list of issues (by no means inclusive) that elected delegates and SDs should consider before voting for Obama, False FEC filings, Votes in the IL Senate on the live birth measure, Illegal contributions received from the three brothers in the Gaza Strip, then there is the issue of his birth certificate (a petition drive is underway) to demand the FEC insist that Obama release a certified copy of his birth certificate, continued association with ACORN, a company with a history of voter fraud and misuse of taxpayer money and finally there are his poll numbers, tied with McCain for the third time in two weeks.

See you in Denver!

    Completely off topic!

    Did ANYONE not find it suicidal that the ONLY Supreme Court Justice Obama decided to be unfit according to his standards was a black man ten times more qualified than he (BO) is. Another catastrophe for the black folks who support him. Throw them under the bus, each and every one! He almost said….inexperienced….he is really living in a bubble!

    Lynn Sweet reports Chicagoans speaking Monday night at the convention:
    http://preview.tinyurl.com/58pums

    Now Giannoulias is the Illinois state treasurer and Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee. Obama has been “like a mentor to me,” Giannoulias told me. He will be one of the parade of Chicagoans who will speak at the Democratic convention Monday night, when Obama’s family and friends tell the story of Obama’s life.

    Who is this friend?
    The Chicago Tribune in its story, “Critics: Obama endorsements counter calls for clean government”: “In the 2006 Democratic primary, for example, Obama endorsed first-time candidate Alexi Giannoulias for state treasurer despite reports about loans Giannoulias’ family-owned Broadway Bank made to crime figures.

    http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/1/27/161410/392

    The Broadway Bank was also very helpful to Tony Rezko.

    The same night Jesse Jr. will speak, how nauseating.

  • standard

    My take is Rendell is doing the right thing.

    Actions speak louder than words.

    He is casting his vote for himself and for his constituency.

    At the same time, he does not want to say
    anything to divide the party.

  • Hope

  • s. hall

    Rendell the problem for the Democrats this year is that they just don’t get it. In one breath you say you are proud to vote for Hillary and then support Obama. You guys really think we’re stupid. It won’t change a thing. 9 Million Hillary supporters will not vote for Obama and all the tricks in the world are not going to change that. I guess the kid would throw a tantrum if you said you were proud to vote for Hillary without using his name in the same sentence. Glad I left the party a couple of months ago–the party I have identified with all my life has Alzheimers. That has to be the reason they would tell the base to stay home–now down ticket Democrats are saying they will be hurt by this inexperienced nominee and the party realizes they can’t do without us–so they play elaborate tricks to get us back. It might have taken an apology to the base you threw under the bus but no — why admit you screwed the pooch when you can try to fool us once again. Hold your elaborate charade but I won’t be watching–you are desperate because you know you have a candidate who cannot win and you would rather destroy the Democratic Party than not be politicially correct.

    That was a sham to show he is willing to slam a black man, Obama is such a phony political pandering for white votes that is all that was.

    His answer to why he did not feel Thomas was needed he almost said lack of experience imagine that well I sure hope he takes his own advice if you have no dam experience for the job that don’t even think of trying to do it.

  • Hope is the last to die

    What other options do they have? That’s the new Obama motto. He can change his positions as many times as he likes and throw people under the bus because no one wants to vote for a republican.

    3 Kids Fishing

    Barack Obama was out jogging one morning along the
    parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge
    railing and landed in the creek below.

    Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, 3
    kids who were fishing pulled him out of the water.
    He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they
    wanted.

    The first kid said, “I want to go to Disneyland.”

    Barack said, “No problem, I’ll take you there in my
    special Senator’s airplane.”

    The second kid said, “I want a new pair of Nike Air
    Jordan shoes.”

    Barack said, “I’ll get them for you and even have
    Michael Jordan sign them!”

    The third kid said, “I want a motorized wheelchair
    with a built in TV and stereo headset.”

    Barack was a little perplexed by this and said, “But
    you don’t look like you’re handicapped.”

    The kid said, “I will be after my dad finds out I
    saved your ass from drowning!”

  • OhioMary

    I’m just hoping we as a nation won’t be flying our Flag upside down if Obama does with the election.

    I cannot understand why Americans will vote for this inexperienced Kenyan to take over the leadership our our Country.

  • s. hall

    gerard nedich — Rendell is telling us he thinks we’re stupid. Whatever happened to Hound which was supposed to counter PUMA? Oh yeah that was their trick a month ago. Last week we were Zealots. Every week they try something new but every week their goal is the same. Obama and UNITY no way. The Democratic Party forgot it was the party of the people. Can’t wait for the circular firing squad when all the top Dems blame each other for the landslide by the Republicans and McCain. OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB YOU WEAVE WHEN FIRST YOU PRACTICE TO DECEIVE.

  • Percy11

    It is surface good news, it is a small step. If Rendell thinks people will get over it now because of a roll call….that should have happened in the first place …. then he is not the man I thought he was.

    Obama is only the presumptive nominee….under normal circumstances, any convention this close WOULD HAVE AN ACTUAL VOTE AND NOT SOME PARTY! In normal circumstances…either one could win!

    What in the hell is the convention for anyway? It is obviously a farce!

    Nah — the AA community isn’t a big fan of Thomas — they see him as an “Uncle Tom” — he was the safest one for Obama to diss, as the liberal elites also hate him. As for the rest of us — Obama has already told us he doesn’t need our votes.

    — IF— those 9,0000,0000 Hillary voters should decide to vote McCain–THEN that 9,000,000 increases back to the original numbers of 18,000,000 votes to help defeat Obama just from the fact Obama lost them and Mac gained them. Of course the Obamacans can’t do the math.

  • http://mccaindemocrats.wordpress.com/ 30yrdem-not any more

    Yes that is all it is…that is how it has been reported even…symbolic….Obama has been making sure he would not loose, he would not have agreed to the vote if he was not sure he would come out on top.

    Yes there could be a nasty surprise for Obama but I am not holding my breath.

  • s. hall

    connie ^5 yes — How braindead can they be? Wonder what the scam to get Hillary supporters will be in September. They have said we will come back because we have no where else to go and when they found we were not coming back we were zealots, Republicans, old hags and now they think we are just plain stupid. WHATEVER I am going to vote for the party that likes winning.

  • democracyfirst

    “I think Sen. Obama was extremely generous… ” I don’t think so! Having the role call is democratic policy and tradition. Plus – Obama was forced into it!

    “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.”
    Read between the lines – if enough SDs do this, Hillary will get the nomination. Rendell is playing along. If he and Hillary are correct – she will be the next POTUS.

  • harvey

    Hey Rendell!! Dig this Cat. The 9,000,000 million Hillry voters you may entice to vote Obama will be canceled out by the 9,000,000 LOYAL HILLARY voters who say F–U !! And BTW , you just put yourself on Obama’s shit list instead of his VP list. And all the time I am hoping that you are voting as you say you are in the hopes others will follow suit an put Hillary above the brown eyed boy w/the Indonesian name.

  • Thinker

    Hopefully, the rest of the supers will get a backbone and do the right thing by nominating Hillary.

    She can still get the official nom.

    Yes she can!!

  • C.S.

    Certainly not for nominating a candidate for president since they expected to have that “locked up” before half of the 57 states had voted! And why bother bringing all those delegates in to stand up and yell “O-baaa-ma” when they could have just texted it a whole lot cheaper.

    And if Obama just wanted to have a big party why didn’t he have it in Chicago so only his “friends” had to pay for it and not the half that didn’t want to attend. All I can think of is that, like Napoleon, he wanted his self-coronation witness by the multitudes he plans to rule over.

    I wish INS would hurry up and figure out if he’s an Indonesian citizen and then deport him as fast as they do illegal Mexicans.

  • Objective analysis

    I want to see the tape. Let’s get ready to rumble. You know these DNC heads are getting scared when Obama has to tell people in San Frangaysisqo that “he will win.” I smell a butt whopping by McCain.

    In my opinion, Clinton don’t need to be the nominee of this crazy DNC with Dean saying the RNC is the “white party” and Pelosi think Obama is a “God.”

    Let them fall flat on their asses.

    I just am going to bring my popcorn.

  • sjc-tx

    The DONC has already chosen the candidate. ANd it ain’t Hillary. We all have known that for months… These idiot “gestures” just serve to disgust people more. Any vote changed by this ‘unity’ is a farce indeed and WON’T happen with REAL Americans.

  • pcmck

    I know this is long – but its the flag code showing all sections BO is violating – note his campaign says its not the flag so its okay, but according to the flag code, it is a rendition of the flag and therefore very wrong.

    BO will get away with his depiction of the flag, because he already said it’s not the flag. He’s wearing a shirt with stars on it against a red and white backdrop. But that reasoning is refuted with the US Flag Code, which states: “the flag
    flag is anything “by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag.”

    The words “flag, standard, colors, or ensign”, as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America.
    Source: Flag Code, Section 3

    Therefore, a flag includes any representation of it of any substance, with stars and stripes of any number. This would include T-shirts and ties.

    The Flag Code states that the flag should never be worn. (Section 8d): “The flag should never be used as wearing apparel.”

    Here’s more of the official rules, and he is violating several:

    “No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America.”
    “… The flag or any rendition of it should not be … printed or otherwise impressed on … anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.”

    According to the Flag Code, Section 8g: “The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.” Section 8: “No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America.” Section 8j: “The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing.”

    Is it okay for an advertisement to use the flag?
    No. Section 8i of the Flag Code reads, “The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever.” The earliest drafts of the Flag Code were in response to the use of the flag in advertisements and on packaging.

    Is it okay to display the flag upside down to protest the war?
    The Flag Code states, “The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.” It is an unreasonable stretch to argue that the political purposes constitute “dire distress.” We recommend that people who wish to express their political views find a way to do so that is respectful of the flag. Remember that to some the flag represents the government of the US and its policies; but it also represents the promise as yet unfulfilled of the Declaration, it represents our freedom of speech, our freedom to practice or not practice religion as we choose, it represents American values, it represents one nation in its glory, it represents hope for a better future, and importantly it represents the sacrifices made in all generations to protect our freedoms.

    Near Fredericksberg, Texas where there is a large German-speaking population, a farmer walking down a country road notices a man drinking from a pond, with his hand.

    The German man shouts: ‘Trink das wassernicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen’

    Which means:’Don’t drink the water, the cows have [crapped] in it.’

    “I think Sen. Obama was extremely generous… ”

    It’s not Barry’s place to be “generous” – or anything else for that matter. I’m so tired of the oblahblah noise machine at work, blaring all the time – on the blogs, in the obamamedia – trying to brainwash America into thinking that this convention is barry’s – that the democratic party is barry’s – that this election is barry’s.

    Last time I looked, the convention, the political parties, and ALL elections BELONG TO THE PEOPLE.

    Silly me, though, I guess this old dried up dead-ender is delusional – the very idea that the American people matter – that the people’s votes matter – sooooooo 20th century!

    No no no no no! These are the “new” democrats, donchaknow – the “new reality” of the neoprogressive fascists. And EVERYTHING is barry’s!

  • C.S.

    I think he’s having trouble keeping his personas straight. Con artists say to keep your lies simple and as close to the truth as you can because it’s easier to remember who and what you’re supposed to be.

    Obama’s “misstatements” start around the time he was born – he even wrote a fictional biography so they could be easily referenced before he began running for public office – and haven’t ended yet. He seems to be getting weary of toting all the political positions he’s had to assume, since Senator Clinton gave so many detailed answers in her speeches, and seems to be spinning out of control more frequently.

    They can talk about that 3 am phone call but lately I’ve been imagining a Kennedy-Khruschev moment with Obama in the Kennedy role and Putin as Khruschev in a nuclear standoff over some disputed piece of territory. Now that’s a scary thought!

    In military operations on land or at sea it is an SOS “save our souls” or in the case of Obama I would say it means save our ass [from the likes of Obama]. Of course with obama his loyalties are so divided –is it Kenyan or Indonesian or is it his Chicago family of thugs? Take your pick, but whatever it is the American flag means nothing to Obama. Even his friends wipe their feet on it and stomp on it. A half mast flag flown by Obama would only show how much respect he has for America.

    Thank you so much for this link!
    What is the best way for us to contact the delegates for our state?
    I could not locate an address (email or snail mail). How do I contact delegates in my state and urge them to vote for Sen Clinton AND to include reasons why Sen Obama should not be the democratice nominee…?

    There is no punishment for violating the flag code. That’s why the word “should” is in there.

    George Bush has been violating the Flag Code for eight years. He has, unfortunately, made it fashionable for the flag to be used as BUNTING….with rows of flags, like “more is better,” becoming the norm. It’s not the norm–it’s WRONG. That’s improper display, what he’s doing…Obama does it, too. It’s ignorant, is what it is.

    The flag police are not going to drag anyone off for these offenses, though. This is an occasion to point and laugh, or sigh, or cry, or throw up one’s hands in utter disgust. One might ask the questions: Is it stupidity, or laziness? How hard is it, really, to check these things?

    Why this Flag Mess matters is not simply because Obama violated the flag code…no, no, NO, as Jeremiah would say. It matters because it shows that his LFS (that’s “lousy fucking staff”) can’t get a simple thing like a pass to a venue printed right. Everything they do, it seems, turns to absolute SHIT. Apparently, like the DNC with Obama, NO ONE BOTHERED to do any VETTING.

    If you make stupid mistakes on the little stuff, you’ll make stupid mistakes on the big stuff, too.

    Anyone who is lucky enough to grab one of those pass-disasters should hang on to it–it’s a political metaphor (distress) for the campaign, and will be a piece of curious and amusing, and perhaps valuable, political memorabilia in the years to come.

  • democracyfirst

    OT – McCain is announcing his VP the day after the Obama convention. Maybe he is waiting and will choose Hillary if she doesn’t get the nomination. Wouldn’t that just throw the DNC and Obama into a tailspin.

  • Linda

    Yes, Governor Rendell should have some fond memories, as so much became clear when the candidates were campaigning in his state. My former state. The one where my sister just bought back and remodelled my Grandma’s house in Pitt. The one where Obama showed what a conceded Elitist he really is.

    And word has it, even the true blue Democcrats that have voted ALL THEIR LIFE as a Democrat, don’t see Backtrack O as one and as heart sick as they are at the thought, will be voting for John McCain, a Republican for the first time in their 70′s years on this earth AND COUNTRY. So, if McCain is winning Democrats of Middle Aged and Seniors, that leaves a lot of new voters for Backtrack to find to register in the age group who doesn’t know any better and are only just starting to pay attention to politics.

  • HillGirl

    I am saying it loud and clear: I want Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Democratic nominee and as next President of the United States.
    Rendell just helped this to become, once again, the Democratic Convention rather than the “Obama” Convention.
    I know he tried to start a counter-puma movement. I am not sure what that was all about.
    In any case, this goes to further cements my thought that perhaps the delegates from those 57 states aren’t so happy that the DNC did the picking rather than – just for once – allow those who actually cast a vote – to pick a candidate.
    I am counting on Hillary Rodham Clinton becoming the next President of the United States. We need her.

    While I differ with Ed on some issues — he is doing his very best to remain loyal to Hillary. He delivered PA during the primaries when she needed it and he has been steadfast in his support. Let’s all remember that he also rebuked Obama’s offer to join the VP shortlist.

  • ldyoung

    I have thought about the Kennedy analogy so many times. Khruschev perceived Kennedy to be young and weak. Next thing you know we’ve got missile sites going up in Cuba. What will happen if Obama gets elected? I’d rather have Hillary (who said she’d take out that Iranian nut in the blink of an eye) or McCain — because we know what he would do.

  • democracyfirst

    It heartens me to see people put democracy before party.

    I have never voted for a Repub for President before either but if Obama is nominated, I’ll do it.

    I am happy to vote for McCain as person of character, even though I am not happy about many of his policies. But my disagreements on McCain’s policies are nothing compared to my disagreements on Obama’s policies (or non-policies). Obama’s policy would be “do as I say or else.” And his leanings are very radical (to put it nicely) as we have learned over the past few months.

    Also, don’t count out the younger generations. They are not all ignorant. Obama just likes to make it seem that way.

  • http://mmb silverfox

    al sharpton will not riot in denver. he will send in minions ….therefore he will remain unharmed physically and able to continue being the blowhard he is.

    an empty threat, and yet another race baiting manipulation, this time from an obama supporter who makes his living playing on the victim mentality of some African Americans.

    sorry for my harsh words here.i apologise if i sound racist towards sharpton’s barely veiled racist threats. but i’m really over being terrorized by the disingenuous self serving people of the obamacan party.

  • CheapEmptySuit

    Send the delegates this video of the Nurse who found full term babies in the closet to die and took her case before the Senate. Obama laughed at her on the floor and voted down the elimination of these full term abortions.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIdbYjmbFzo
    from nohussein.org
    RoeV was never intended for late term abortions.
    It was for the first tri-mester only. The advent of the pill and all kinds of free birth control and planned parenthood, changes the playing field of Roe now.

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Rendell is pro-Clinton. Always has been, always will be.

    He’s doing what he has to do, and making sure he’s OFF that VP list.

    No one wants to run with Obama–that’s why his “list” is down to pro-life Kaine (an unreasonable elevation for one with nominal experience), Bayh The Bland (who was in Clinton’s corner in the primary, but her team found out he couldn’t “deliver” very well in his home state), and Biden The Bigmouth, who has the experience, the gravitas, the judgment, the knowledge, and the background that the principal candidate LACKS. He also has the biggest mouth in the USA and a large foot that he sticks in said mouth regularly. Oh, and he’s also the Senator from MNBA, er, CreditCardLand, er, Delaware–hardly a battleground. Obama’s trading geography for experience if he picks Biden, which would demonstrate that he is desperately in need of experience, and that there’s no one in a geographically advantageous state that wanted to be on his creepy ticket and deal with his creepy, bloated, stupid Koolaid staff.

    I’d be surprised if he picked Kaine–simply because every time you vocalize the ticket, it sounds like you’re at a Greek GOP campaign function: OOOOPA! McCain!!

    Try it: Obama-Kaine!

    And Bayh won’t do, either…that sounds like you’re saying farewell to Obama, as in Obama…Bye!!

    Try it: Obama-Bayh!

    Now, Obama-Biden isn’t much better–that sounds a bit like Obama, Bye Then! But Big Mouth Joe does have the knowledge–and someone needs to teach this poor slob how to prep for a debate. It’s apparent he hasn’t had anyone good giving him help, yet!

  • Postmaster

    Sorry Gov Rendell, you are the one that repeated what Obama said when you were setting up a fundraiser in PA for him. ‘I don’t need the people, I just need the checks’. Also, Hillary told us months ago that Obama was NOT qualified to be President, she said McCain and she are……so, I will take her word and Obama’s words to heart. He is unqualified and doesn’t need me, btw, he’s not getting my money either. Now, let’s see if all of you can ‘Just get over it.’ I will vote McCain and be glad to do it.

  • Monet

    I’m curious. Why are Gov. Rendell and the nineteen year old delegate from California suddenly in the news talking about how they’re going to vote symbolically for Senator Clinton at the convention and then throw all their support behind Senator Obama? Is Howard Dean so insane he thinks this will unite the party? Anyone with half a brain knows it won’t and while I disagree with Dean and his policies, I see no evidence he’s missing half of his brain. Since June, slowly and steadily Senator Obama has been losing voters to either McCain, a third party or a decision to abstain from the vote. Once the campaign is in full swing in September and the Republican swiftboaters come out from beneath the docks, the defections are going to increase and less undecideds will be likely to throw their support towards Obama. Any pro-lifers who are currently supporting Obama won’t be able to run fast enough to McCain, they’ll probably trample each other in the stampede.

    Why have a handful of delegates appeared in the past week to announce they’re voting for Clinton in the initial roll call? Are they trying to persuade other delegates to do the same with the hopes the vote will be high enough for a coup? Is the symbolic rhetoric added so they aren’t replaced or find their planes diverted to the South Pole? That’s probably wishful hoping on my part, the DNC probably does think a symbolic vote will appease the Democrats who have defected or are considering defection.

  • Andy

    By the way, Heidi also reported this (same link):

    In writing those posts I chose to ignore the remarks of non-DNC officials such as Governor Bill Richardson or Mr. Lanny Davis about what they claimed to know about Senator Clinton’s plans at the roll call vote. I still have not seen any information from Senator Clinton herself regarding her plans, and until I do I will assume she is not taking a public position on the matter.

    But, I have just learned the following, from an email sent to me. This email responds to an inquiry from a third party and is written by somebody who is a member of the DNC.

    She [Senator Clinton] is going to have her name placed in nomination, and then release her delegates, and ask that they vote for Obama.

    I have no way to know whether Mr. Shay is privy to any private announcement by Senator Clinton regarding the release of her delegates. But I do know that according to the 2008 Call to the Convention that it is not up to Mr. Shay or even to Senator Clinton as to how delegates vote on any roll call held.

    If you are a CA resident maybe you can write to Mr. Shay to find out how does he know this ….

    I don’t believe anything until it comes from HRC herself…

  • http://msnGodhelpusall Lee M

    The roll call vote is not private, unless Howard Dean and Donna Brazile have changed that also. I have watched Democratic Conventions ever since the’ve been televised, and each state’s name is called out, and the leader of that particular delegation goes to the microphone and usually gives a roaring speech lauding their state and then the number of votes for each individual candidate is announced. If this has been changed, it would only be for the purpose of making it easier to cheat.

  • CheapEmptySuit

    That is my dream! I think no matter who it is he is doing it to take the focus off of Obama because after he re does the MLK I have a dream speech on the 45th anniversary (my guess he will), McCain will want to stop all the media fawning over the one!

    Yes, I want Hil as POTUS and if not I’d settle for Hillary as McCain’s VP. Not Obama’s though! Nobama Nowhere.

    I have asked quite a few republicans if they would be upset with a McCain/Clinton ticket and they have all said they would love it!

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    You’re kind of missing the point, this is not about Thomas at all, it’s about about an inexperienced, mediocre , mental midgit calling someone else inexperienced and not qualified to hold a very important position.

    This means that PA is not backing Barrack Hussein Obama and Rendell knows it.

  • http://msnGodhelpusall Lee M

    This whole election cycle has been such a convoluted mess, and the MSM reporters have been so disappointing that I hardly turn the television on anymore. I think that the tingle that Chris Matthews felt in his leg at the sound of Obama’a voice has traveled to his brain and short circuited it. Even Fox doesn’t give the real news anymore. I used to watch CNN religiously, but no more. Rachel Maddow gives me a stomacch ache. If not for two or three blogs on the internet, I would be completely turned off. I don’t expect a fair and honest vote at the convention, especially with Nancy Pelosi as chairman. She wouldn’t know a fair and honest vote if it jumped up and hit her in the face. God help us all, people. He is the only one I trust in this matter, and there is no evidence of His being anywhere near the Democratic convention.

  • RunningDogLackey

    Rendell knows the roll call vote will never get as far as Pennsylvania. Fast Eddie’s no fool.

    Fortunately, Hillary is only addicted to an abusive relationship, and McCain is only addicted to his wife’s money.

    I think this is a signal by Rendell to the other SDs, letting them know that it’s OK to actually vote, y’know, in representation of how their constituents voted. Regardless of how many times Lil’ Obambi and Dopey Donna and Dopier Dean stamp their feet and threaten to turn blue (ha! pun intended!)

    But if this is only a “symbolic” vote I’m going to be even MORE pissed off at Obama and the DNC than I already am, and I didn’t think that was possible.

  • DancingOpossum

    Sorry to double post but I just thought of something important: Remember when Harold Ickes said HRC would take the MI/FL fight to the convention? Is this going to happen, does anyone know?

  • IndayHill

    I just saw the link & it is obviously the Old Glory.Obama will deny this intentional gaffe, once again.He is an expert in denial,if confronted.
    He does not have a SOUND JUDGEMENT. Can we trust him to protect America ??? NO !!!

    This intentional gaffe is a WARNING !!

    HILLARY OR MC CAIN ’08

    GOD BLESS AMERICA !

    maybe he should teach obama the ‘right thing to say’, then obama supporters wouldn’t resort to playing the victim can and make countless, baseless accusations of cheating.

  • America OUR Land

    Rendell soothing his conscious casting a symbolic vote. Now ain’t Rendell a kind politician? The kind nobody needs!

  • PewL

    I can’t see Clinton ruining the party for Obama,as I think she’d pay dearly…imo..Obama should do the right thing,and give the nomination to Clinton, as he knows she won the vital states,and he got the delegates… Something is wrong with that picture…It’s like they just handed him the nomination,and he didn’t earn it…Does he really want this to go down in history, as stealing this nomination,imo Because that’s what will be written in the history books..

    I’d really like to know what Ikes thinks along with Carville…

    Obama is not Presidential material

  • nobamaever09

    Ed DRendell should get on all Super H. i CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW hE CAN BE Obama supporter, but voting for Hillary. It is stupid and sense less.Are You for Hillary???, then be 100%, not 50/50. He thinks that WE Hillary supporters, will do the same. He is telling US, that WE are stupid!!!! No way Mr.Rendell, I will not support Obama, because I will be betraying not just Hillary, but Middle Class and all Of those who have common sense. Stop Mr. like Edwards, Richardson. You dont care about Hillary, but sure You pretend that You are supporting HER> Just a double face like Obama!!!!

  • nobamaever09

    You are so naive. Untill We are respected and OUR support is strong as can be, than there is no such thing as Mr.Rendell is saying. He makes me more angry, saying that He will suport 2 faces Obama, but give vote to Hillary. Remember, He jump into support for Obama, claiming to be the best Friend with Hillary. This is not a friendship, this is betrail!!!

  • nobamaever09

    to S.Hall…. Yes, that is what I am waiting for. Dean,Pelosi,Richardson,Reid,Dodd, must be nor voted for another 4-6 years as senators, they betray US in 2006 election!!! They lied then and they lie now, an they will never STOP!!!
    Just like Rendell. All He is doing , is to try make US to support Obama!!!!NO NO NO…

  • Hmm

    When Jug ears loses it will be interesting to see what happens to the people who voted for him against the wishes of their constituency.

  • nobamaever09

    NEWS!!!… in Denver police will put anyone to a special cages, if any confrontation happend. Just like in Guantanamo. They have some Werehouse with special celles, to put people like US there,, that is what DNC and Obamas “police” will do!!!

  • PewL

    I just thought of something funny..Wouldn’t it be funny, If Obama texted his own name on the text messages. lol..Boy that would be a surprise..Leaving the nomination back to Hillary.. He did say Hillary wouldn’t be his VP..

    Maybe thats how they will do it.?lol

  • nobamaever09

    It is not about Thomas nomination, it is about Obama showing that He is not racist and will go after black also!!!
    Maybe black people, shoul open their uyes. Thomas was nominated because of His color, Obama fighting for His nomination for thr=e same reason. Same situation. And who is talking. Obama with no knowlage ,- experience, telling US that Thomas was unexperiance???
    What a mass. What BLACK are thinking about?????

  • nobamaever09

    and You addicted to stupid comments!!!

  • nobamaever09

    It is time, about get very serious, and get those people like ;Pelosi,Richardson.Dean,Reid on street, and let them start all over. Cindy Sheahan from California is ready to detrone Pelosi, get all of them , and kick them OUT.
    Democratic Party is as just corrupted as Republicans. Time to replace those old and many , to many years sitting in Congres and House, to get out of there. It shoul be limited time for any Senator or Congresman to hold a such job!!!. That is the biggest problem !!!. Sfter their time comes up, they shoul never have chance to be elected again!!

  • nobamaever09

    …and we will be corrupted(the whole USA) as Illinouis Government!!!!

  • nobamaever09

    You ned to vanish, You are a tipical Obama fanatic. Dont You thete say that again!!!

  • nobamaever09

    I just hope, that You are right. They are some like Rendell, with two faces. So ,it is my advise, to those , who are are very serious, to stay behind Hillary, no money for Obama, and be THE REAL HILLARY SUPPORTER, BECASUE IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT SUPPORT FOR HILLARY, IT IS FRIENDSHIP AND PURE COMMITMENT. IF YOU ARE COMMITED, YOU ARE TRULY HER FRIEND. THIS IS MORE THEN VOTE, IT IS FOR MIDDLE CLAS,POOR PEOPLE, WHITE, SMART BLACK PEOPLE AND YOUNG, WOMAN.
    fOR BACK PEOPLE, JUST REMARCS ABOUT JUDGE THOMAS, SHOW, HOW DISRESPECTFULL OBAMA IS EVEN TO YOU BLACK PEOPLE, IF YOU CAN NOT SEE THIS, THAT YOU ARE ALOST CASE. WOOPI GOLDBERG SHOW A COURAGE, FALLOW WOOPIE!!!

  • nobamaever09

    AMERICAN FLAG UPSIDEDOWN!!!HAT MEANS!!!”DOWN WITH AMERICA”, THAT IS OBAMA MESSAGE!!!
    THAT IS SHOWING HIS IGNORANCE AND HATE TO AMERICA, I THINK OBAMA LISTEN TO WRIGHT ADVISE. !!! TRINITY CHURCH IN ON RISE!!! HATEFUL SERMONS FROM TRINITY CHURCH ARE REAL AND ALIVE. OBAMA NEVER SEPARATED HIMSELF FROM HIS BELOVE MENTOR MR.WRITE!!!

  • Senator O’Donut Hole

    You’ve got to be kidding.

    He’s my governor too, and he was my mayor when I lived in Philadelphia. Rendell’s first concern is his own personal ambition. Why do you think he backed Hillary? Because he stated that Obama was unelectable. He wanted to be on the winning side. Wasn’t he DNC chair, but he didn’t last long because he didn’t finesse his public pronouncements?

    If he’s for the party, it’s because life as a Dem party standard bearer has been berry berry good to him.

    And I disagree with your comment that the roll call won’t get to PA.

  • Senator O’Donut Hole

    Read between the lines – if enough SDs do this, Hillary will get the nomination. Rendell is playing along. If he and Hillary are correct – she will be the next POTUS.

    I agree with you. I’ve lived under a Rendell regime for a good portion of my earthly life. If nothing else, he’s a politician who knows how to win.He’s telegraphing to the other SDs to go ahead and vote HRC.
    How many SDs are currently horrified at the Obama campaign trainwreck? You know Rendell is, he called this Obama disaster during the primaries.

  • nobamaever09

    yes, THIS IS WERE oBAMA IS STEANDING. Can You believe, that this truly happend, and We have a witness,-mother , and that is what happened to Her. After abortion , Her baby was alive…..

    this is for real!!!!!!
    Was on TV last night on FOX, and also on CNN!!!

  • nobamaever09

    true Hillary supporter will not change!!!

  • nobamaever09

    somehow I lost my trust in Rendells, but I hope there is more hiden things behind “only” voting for Hillary, I pray and hope. It will be the best moment in my latest lifr, if You are right!!!

  • nobamaever09

    maybe Pelosi like Obama not as candidate, but behing that>> RUMOR???
    I hear this i downtown Denver caffe!!!

  • athena

    There is going to be a real vote. Just got off a call with delegates. Very enthusiatic delegates wanting to know what would happen if Hillay got the “majority” (2010 +1) of the votes.

  • nobamaever09

    I can not believe what I am reading, You are so nice in Your comments, can You emagine Obamas fans writing about US and Hillary???
    Obama dodnt bother to visit OUR wounded troops in Germany, and You are writing with a such calm and”understanding. Dont You have any gust and anger over this???. How can You be so nice in You remarcs???Were are all those soldiers Families, dont they have any enger???what happend to america??? They should be the first one to show some enger over this, after all, their kids are dying for oil, and were are they???

They are playing nice, Screem screem, screem…

  • nobamaever09

    You are absolutely right. Remember, when Obama win the Democratic nomination(He actually was choosen by Dean abd Pelosi),ED RENDELL was one of the first, to call Hillary to quit!!!!. Barbara BOxer,Pelosi, Diane Fainsten!!! they were first in line to call Hillary to quit, and exept Obama !!!
    Look at Edwards, that dirty cheeter of Elisabeth who was getting Her cancer back. LOOK at all those around Obama. Look at those so call”Hillary supporters-vultures”

  • nobamaever09

    thank You, You are so right. Ed Rendel back stubber, You are so right, He is one of those, who wants Hillary to back Obama. What a shame and shame!

  • nobamaever09

    yest they are, and this is what Obama thinks about AMERICA!!! Mr.Wright was his teacher, and mentor, and Obama is fallow Him to the end of His political carier.You can be shure!!! White,people of color,Middle Class, poor blac people will be paying a big price for!!!

  • nobamaever09

    thanks..keep doing!!!

  • Confused

    Democracyfirst, you said that you support McCain as a person of character!! This is man who cheated on his first wife with his second wife because his wife was hurt and disfigured in accident. This same wife who kept him going when he was a P.O.W. What character does he have?!!Let’s not even mention the Keating 5.

    Hillary and Obama’s policies were exactly the same! How do you support hers, but disagree with his? I am all for voting for who you want, but to vote for McCain because you are pissed that Hillary lost, is that really a wise decision? Have you been listening to McCain at all? He has no plan for America. If you don’t want to vote for Obama, then vote for Ralph Nader. McCain is Bush, but you would rather go through another 4/8 years of the mess that we have been going through for the past 8, then cast your vote for McCain. God help America if McCain wins in 08.

  • MPTX

    I agree whole heartedly, I would have liked to have seen the real rollcall vote not this big show to make obama more than he is. So much for wanting young people to be involved. Here was an opportunity for people to seen how our process works and they failed us. The voice of the democratic base was not heard but we got the message from the democratic leadership loud and clear. they made their pick and have pushed him on us all along. I was shocked and offended by the rollcall they should have just not had it if they were going to not allow all the states to publicly vote. I watched that crap only to have it cut short before my state even came up. Trying to force me to accept obama is not going to make me like him just because they have made others step up and say they think he is ready when he obviously is not. if he was he would be able to prove it on his own not have to make others endorse him, without others driving him forward he goes no where which is why i have concerns about him as POTUS. Sorry this roll call changed nothing
