BREAKING! Rendell Voting for Hillary!
by: Alegre
Mon Aug 18, 2008 at 19:48:27 PM EDT
Hat tip to CampSkunk for finding this good news!

Guys this is a HUGE get. We were after Rendell just a few short days ago for trying to block efforts to bring aboard Hillary’s delegates in Pennsylvania - he told people not to sign that nominating petition.

And now he’s saying he’s going to vote for her on the first ballot. This is huge - HUGE I tell ya!

Lauding ‘cathartic’ effect of roll-call vote, Rendell to cast his convention vote for Clinton

…Clinton’s largest backer in Pennsylvania says that he too will take the opportunity to cast his vote for Clinton.

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 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.

“I think it will have the cathartic effect that both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama are hoping to have,” he added.

Spread the word far and wide - those who once tried to block us are climbing back on to the Hillary Express

I lived in Philly for many years and I really love Ed Rendell. Whether this is theater or not, there’s no better person to enter HRC’s name into nomination than Eddie Rendell. Though he’s a do-or-die Dem, Rendell was a loyal, faithful Clinton supporter; he brought the primary vote in, big time. He’s an extraordinary politician and a fine public servant to the State of Pennsylvania.

Thumbs up, Gov. Rendell! Trust me, Rendell will give a hell of an introduction.

Nope. Sorry. Ain’t gonna happen Eddy.

“I think it will have the cathartic effect that both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama are hoping to have,” he added.

Mr. Obama said. “I don’t think we’re looking for catharsis…”

i wouldn’t take that way if i were you. step back and take a good look. these folks will diss us again and again. they have the purse strings and we will have to battle long and hard to get control again.

 
 

Comment by RepublicanChick | 2008-08-18 19:56:17

I wouldn’t believe anything until push comes to shove. When his vote is taken and he pushes the button for “Hillary” or speaks her name in front of God, country, and the Obots, then I’d believe it. Until then, I wouldn’t trust anyone saying they’d vote this way or that way.

Just my thoughts.

Comment by Truthteller | 2008-08-18 19:15:39

I guess Gabrielle Giffords and other Congresspeople in their first terms are already out of touch with their constituents. I hope voters in these Congresspeoples’ respective districts express their dissatisfaction in November. Besides, none of these new members of the Democratic majority have helped enact any meaningful legislation.

Comment by Andrew | 2008-08-18 20:20:46

Gabrielle Giffords is a terrible representative. I live in her district. She does nothing except tout the accomplishments of others. Her ads talk about her helping veterans etc. I hope they kick her out, useless.

Comment by OBSP | 2008-08-18 19:23:10

Back during the primaries, alot of BO supporters convienced some Dems that HRC would be a drag on the ticket. Voters would not vote for her therefore the ticket would not win. The Congresswomen was one that was mentioned.
If anyone could get information on the Hope Fund they will see how this nomination was bought and paid for. As far as Nancy “I havent had a natural smile since I was 40″ she picked up where BO left off. These SD are all bought and paid for.

 

Comment by Angry Michelle | 2008-08-18 19:23:32

With all the confusion in regard to Obama’s religion, does he still get the 72 virgins when he dies?

Comment by OBSP | 2008-08-18 19:25:51

He gets 36 he’s only half.

Comment by Jeremiah God Damn Amerikkka Wright | 2008-08-18 21:30:46

Are there 72 virgins left in the obama camp? I thought bending over was part of the entrance requirement.

New message from BOBO with a list of losers!

PUMA —

As you may have heard, 10 supporters will be joining me backstage before I accept the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

I’m pleased to announce that those supporters have been selected, and I wanted to tell you a little about them.

The people who make up our movement are of all different ages, races, and backgrounds — and these folks are no different.

Lenny is a former naval officer from Emerald Isle, NC. Barb is a teacher married to a farmer in Fallon, MT. James is a law student in Massillon, OH. And Anne is a retired budget analyst from Indianapolis.

John from Boulder, CO, believes developing alternative energy is the answer to an array of policy problems. And Kayla from West Fargo, ND, didn’t feel like she could ever be part of the political process — until now.

They each bring their own unique perspectives and experience, and they are united by their hunger for change.

You can read more about these amazing people below. I’m looking forward to meeting them at the Open Convention, and I hope you will join us in sharing this important moment.

If you cannot make it to Denver, you can get together with your friends and family and watch my acceptance speech at a Convention Watch Party. It’s going to be a big night, and you can join millions of supporters across the country to make it a success.

Sign up to host or attend a Convention Watch Party in your community on Thursday, August 28th:

http://my.barackobama.com/organizeforchange

Thank you for your belief in our ability to bring real change to this country. You continue to grow and strengthen our movement in ways no one thought possible.

Barack

Meet the 10 supporters who will join me backstage at the Open Convention in Denver:

Barb Sackman of Fallon, Montana
Barb is a teacher living in Fallon, Montana, a town of 150. She lives on her family’s wheat and cattle farm, and rising fuel prices are making it hard to get by. She hopes Barack’s plan for alternative bio-fuels will help the struggling economy in rural Montana. Barb volunteers for her church, sits on a hospital board, and organizes community events in Fallon. Barb says Barack “genuinely cares about the problems of people like me. We appreciate his continued trips to Montana to let us know that we are not forgotten.” She will attend the convention with her husband.

Lenny Julius of Emerald Isle, North Carolina
Lenny is a retired naval officer who believes the Iraq War was a serious strategic mistake. He says that in 2000 he looked forward to seeing John McCain, a fellow shipmate, in the Oval Office, having known and served with him in Vietnam — but no more. “Senator McCain has become a strong supporter of the Bush policies — policies which have led to disaster both at home and abroad.” He was won over by Barack’s communication skills, leadership abilities, and intelligence. Lenny is an auto parts manager at AutoZone in Emerald Isle, a heavily Republican town where he says there are many “closet Barack supporters.” Lenny remembers staying up late when he was young to watch John F. Kennedy accept the nomination at the last truly open convention in 1960. He will come to the convention this year with his wife.

Anne Rector of Indianapolis, Indiana
Anne is a retired budget analyst for the federal government. She says the first time she saw Barack at the 2004 convention, she thought, “This is Everyman. He is Kansan and he is Kenyan; he is African and he is Anglo-American; he is common sense and he is eloquence; he is dynamic and he is down to earth.” Anne is an active volunteer for the campaign, as well as for a local animal protection group. She hosts a weekly local radio program named Art and Review, in which she reads to the blind. Anne strongly believes in the protection of our civil liberties. She will attend with a friend and fellow campaign supporter.

James T. Fondriest of Massillon, Ohio
James, a 22-year-old law student and graduate of Ohio State University, never thought he would vote for anyone other than a Republican. An active Bush-Cheney supporter in 2004, he became disillusioned with his state party and Republicans’ handling of Iraq, health care, and education. “Barack Obama has inspired me to believe in politics again and, most importantly, the power of the ordinary citizen,” he writes. “Although I still identify as a Republican and still stand for some conservative values, I finally feel like America has found a leader it can look up to and trust.” Leading up to the Ohio primary, James made over 500 “Buckeyes for Obama” T-shirts and donated the profits to the campaign. He plans to bring his father with him to the convention.

John Volkmar of Boulder, Colorado
John served in the U.S. Army for 10 years. He says his two tours in Iraq with the 10th Special Forces Group opened his eyes to “the link between our country’s lack of an effective energy policy and our flawed foreign policy.” John believes changing this relationship is an essential step towards ensuring that our government works for the interest of the American people instead of special interest groups. He is now pursuing an MBA and hopes to work in the alternative energy industry. He is coming to Denver with his wife.

Marsha Shearer of Orlando, Florida
Marsha is a retired elementary school principal. She has phone banked and canvassed for Obama in Florida, and has been a supporter since even before Barack made the decision to run. Marsha believes that both the Iraq War and America’s dependence on oil are negatively affecting the health of our economy. She supports Barack because he is not a typical politician. “He represents something above and beyond,” she says. “I haven’t felt so energized since McCarthy, trying to end the Vietnam War.” She will bring her college-age granddaughter to the convention.

Trinace Johnson of Richmond, Virginia
Trinace is a single mother and disabled veteran who served overseas for the Iraq War. She currently works for the U.S. Army as a public affairs specialist. She has voted since the age of 18, but this is the first time she has actively been involved with a political campaign. Trinace is inspired by Senator Obama’s message of change and his plans to address all of the issues that she cares deeply about: veterans’ support, education, stopping the war, tax breaks for the middle class, gas prices and health care. Trinace became motivated to get involved when her neighborhood ran out of ballots in the primaries, and is determined to ensure access to voting in this election. “I wish I could be there in Denver,” she wrote to Backstage with Barack. “I would love to be a part of this historical event. [It's] so long overdue.” Trinace will attend the convention with her sister.

Eric Melder of Carlisle, Pennsylvania
Eric is a 59-year-old married father of three sons and a grandparent to seven grandchildren. A retired YMCA director, he has worked at Diakon Wilderness Center for the past 13 years counseling young men with drug, alcohol, and family problems. “The boys call me ‘E-rock’ and I do all I can to make a difference in their lives,” writes Eric. A self-proclaimed “values voter” and evangelical Christian, Eric switched his allegiance from Mike Huckabee to Barack, convinced by Barack’s ability to lead and build coalitions. Eric is bringing Anthony, a former student at the Wilderness Center, who overcame immense hardships, including an absent father and a drug-addicted mother, to ultimately become Program Director of the Center. “Barack needs to meet him,” Eric says.

Holly Miowak Stebing of Anchorage, Alaska
Holly, a 20-year-old Alaska Native Inupiaq, is spending her summer break from Stanford University at the First Alaskans Organization interviewing native elders about their experiences with segregation. Holly is passionate about improving healthcare access for Native Americans, and protecting Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from drilling. The 2008 presidential election is Holly’s first as a voter. She says: “This was the first campaign I felt I needed to support. I don’t have a lot of money, but I donate what I can because I believe in [Barack].” She will attend the convention with her mother who is the first Native American woman to pass the Alaska bar.

Kayla Whitaker of West Fargo, North Dakota
Kayla is a 20-year-old student and evangelical Christian who credits Barack for her newfound interest in the political process. “As a Christian, I have seen it repeated that evangelical Christians are ‘required’ to vote Republican. When I heard Barack’s ‘Call to Renewal’ speech, I was surprised… This is change I can believe in and many other young, evangelical Christians can believe in, too. For the first time in my life, I got hooked on politics.” She now plans to register to vote so that she can cast her ballot for Barack in November. Among Kayla’s top concerns are health care, teacher pay, and the environment. In an effort to convince her mom to become involved in politics, she is bringing her to Denver.

Tony Rezco is trying to get a pass to be backstage too. His White Grandmother may be there too if the wheels don’t run over her while she tries to get from other the bus. Rev. Wright is also trying his best to be there, but is in hiding from the ex-husband of his current wife.

Comment by Carolyn Mann | 2008-08-18 21:47:38

This is a little off-point, but what’s up with the Obamas and Barry’s white grandmother, anyway. Did Michelle and the kids ever go see her? Reports I read said Barry visited the grandmother alone for 30 minutes and then tossed a lei into the spot where his mother’s ashes were strewed in the ocean — again alone, not even the kids there. Does Michelle not want anything to do with his white family at all? Very weird behavior, if you ask me.

Most of us get this crap already and delete it.

Looking at the states that all these people come from, don’t most of them usually go red? What a coincidence. Wonder how fair BO’s contest was. Remember they had to agree to do at least 6 hours of voluntary service (to his campaign?) to enter the contest.

Not lookin for an arguement, I made the mistake of posting his whole letter and should have cut it shorter to show his soliciting $$$ from someone registered as PUMA ELECTEDNOTSELECTED. We have fun with his site at work, and the humor of it was lost, do to my poor posting. The posting could be deleted if I offended; which was not the intention.

Has anyone been watching Fox???
I was surfing and I came across a show Bill Hammer put together about Obama’s childhood and rise to fame. It will make you sick they had to get this info from his campaign. All sweet info on things they haven’t even released to the public it’s false on and on. Excuse while I go heave.

Comment by Raven | 2008-08-18 20:29:55

Unfortunately the Fox program “only” scratched the
surface, in my opinion. They touched on “key” areas
but, pretty skated on top!
Nothing on Odinga, COLB, dual citizenship questions
not even raised. Insightful…I’d give it a 3 on a
scale of 1 to 10.

 

Comment by MEchelle Hates America! | 2008-08-18 21:01:20

I’m still laughing about Oblowme’s story!

Oblowme visited his Pakistani buddies during college - IN PAKISTAN (not your normal Spring Break choice)

they are two of his biggest bundlers in this campaign - each raising over $100k

Oblowme can’t recall where he lived or
who he lived with in NY

except for according to Oblowme: a “well-built Pakistani man who did cocaine”, who later ended up living out of dumpsters on the street

and is now dead

They spoke to over 400 people from Columbia U

and nobody remembered Oblowme,

but they did remember George Stephanopoulas, who graduated the year prior.

For the love of God!

This guy could never pass any background check.

And he wants to be POTUS!!

Guess he CHANGED his mind and left US to HOPE for the best.

Heh, Kelvin,

Do you live in Turlock and teach at Stan State? The name is unusual and familiar.

 
 

Comment by Kal | 2008-08-19 07:27:15

I agree — the Fox BO story was thin, skipped over key issues, and painted an unrealistic positive picture. But my overall sense is that with a lot of time spent on his 2 Pakistani friends from Occidental, their role in fundraising, Rev. Wright’s big role in his life, the Rezko connection, and the Rezko house deal, many viewers who are not familiar with all of these issues will have lots more questions than they ever thought they might have about this candidate.

So I thought it was a skillful marketing job that accomplished important goals — raising questions about just who BO really is.

 
 
 

Comment by Faustina | 2008-08-18 19:46:18

According to the LaRouche PAC website (Jun 30, 2008),

“… the man who has been “Chief Counsel” for House Speaker Nancy “Mis-leadership” Pelosi since the beginning of her term in that office, February 8, 2007, is Joseph Onek, a key operative for George Soros’s Open Society Institute. Onek, a 65-year old lawyer, was chief policy advisor for the OSI, and its so-called “civil liberties spinoff,” the Open Society Policy Center, which was created “after September 11th” to promote public policy reform.”

So chances are a lot of the money that is going to these “bought” representatives of the people ultimately comes from Soros.

So I have decided if I want to know what Obama is really going to do, if, God forbid, he is elected, then I better check out the public policy reforms of the Open Society Policy Center.

I image those reforms will include only the more conservative plans these social engineers have in store for us.

Also, I noticed two Arizona representatives in the lineup. Shame on them. Shame on Arizona’s Governor, Janet Napolitano, and shame on their Godfather, Senator John Kerry.

I do believe the constituents of each and every one of them supported Hillary Clinton.

These people are arrogant AHs.

Comment by CKA in Red State USA | 2008-08-18 19:49:39

Exemplified by Nancy Pelosi, the Demockacrats no longer think they need to hide the very obvious fact that they’re now fascists who no longer represent the people, but actually have become enemies of the people.

Local news had O in a SUV rollin to the back of the Fairmont avoiding the Kool-aid peanut gallery. Throw them under the bus. Good thing they will never know it happened He grabbed 7.5 mil and blew town. Left in his wake was his “finance minister” to explain to us plebes that the majority of BO’s donations are STILL “small donations”.

Small donations…sure thing!

I wonder what his excuse will be when he loses the face to face debates.

Getting to the diary, did you ever wonder why it’s illegal to sell your individual vote, when politicians do it all the time? Oh, they try not to be blatant about it, but it happens every day in Congress. It’s called different rules for the rich and powerful.

Rick Warren on Larry King Live after commercial, now lets see the Obomabots try and LIE again, lol.

 

Comment by That's Above My Pay Grade Obambi | 2008-08-18 20:27:04

Rick Warren backs McCain 100% and says McCain did NOT see Obambi answer any questions before McCain came out.

Rick Warren said Obambi actually was given one question in advance but McCain didn’t get that question in advance. Looks like Obambi has even more egg on his face now for starting this bullshit story!! Rick Warren said exact number of audience tickets went evenly to Obambi and McCain supporters. Eat that Obambi you frick’in loser cry baby.

Comment by wodiej | 2008-08-18 20:39:53

thanks for posting that…Obama is such an asshole. Guess he’s getting a small taste of what the Republicans have in store for him. The Dem’s and media gave him a pass, the Republicans will not.

 

Comment by Andy | 2008-08-18 20:50:25

Did Warren actually came for McCain now? He hadn’t so far. he was so far “uncommitted”…When did he endorse McCain? Do you have a link? Thanks.

In AZ, all candidates have to have a certain number of petition signatures in order to be put on the ballot. I, stupidly, signed for Gabby Gifford.

I wrote to her recently to let her know that there is no way that I will be voting for her. She is NOT representing me, honestly. So, no vote. And, I will make sure I remind others before November.

For all politicians who have chosen not to honestly represent your constituent’s primary votes, don’t be surprised when you are collecting unemployment!

Barack Obama’s fierce attack on Jerome Corsi’s best-selling book, “The Obama Nation,” has backfired. He has been forced to confirm things he’d hoped would stay buried.

Obama, for example, for the first time has acknowledged that the mysterious “Frank” in his 1995 autobiography, “Dreams From My Father,” is in fact Communist Party USA member Frank Marshall Davis, who during the height of the Cold War was investigated by both the FBI and Congress as a pawn of Moscow.
As we’ve noted, the late Davis was Obama’s early mentor with whom he shared whiskey and rage while growing up in Hawaii. The militant black poet influenced the young Obama’s decision to become a pro-labor community organizer and agitator in his hometown of Chicago.
Obama wants to run from this radical past, but his first memoir — written long before he had serious White House aspirations — is a peek into his soul. “Dreams” has become more of a nightmare, and he may just come to regret ever writing it.

Sweet. I hope this gets some play, but the media toads in Bambi’s pocket will do their best to bury it.

Oh, don’t worry. The Republican 527 ads will be sure to point it out.

I just keep getting sicker and sicker of this situation, the closer it gets to putting this idiot in, the sicker I get. I will be glad when it is over and I can get the popcorn and watch the republicans tear him to pieces!

Jerry McInerney (CA - 11) should know better.

I wonder WHEN Pelosi made these donations and would love to see a breakdown of what she gave to House members who endorsed Hillary.

 

Comment by Andy | 2008-08-18 20:48:05

I am surprised about Nicki Tsongas (MA). I didn’y=t know she endorsed Obama…She hadn’t endorsed either until almost the end as far as I can remember.
What a disappointment…

Good evening, PUMA! I got yet ANOTHER peculiar email today. This one from Bill Clinton asking me to, again, “donate now” for a chance to go to the convention where he and Hillary will be enthusiastically speaking in support of Senator Obama for president. Well, here, let me just show you a snippet:

“It’s an inspiration, and you don’t want to miss it if you have a chance. So I hope you’ll take Hillary up on her offer and contribute by midnight tonight for a chance to attend the Denver convention in person. You’ll get to see Hillary speak on Tuesday, and

Barack Obama — the next president

of the United States — on Thursday.

ha ha ha…you realize that now Bambi NEEDs the clintons to give him any legitimacy? The Clintons are having the last laugh.

and many of her supporters still won’t vote Obama. Heh, I’m one of those.

Don’t respond because it’s obiously a scam to get your personal info.

I received the same about half hour ago, don’t need a free ticket.. it’s only 7 hour drive for me and as a union hack, I took the week off. Ever since I watched the union video where BOBO didn’t lift a hand with his friends to save the company from shutting down, I knew what a bum he was.

Your post is rated an eight point nine on the FEAR PUMA meter!

You don’t understand; none of you do, apparently…we aren’t CULTISTS.

We don’t have a Messiah.

We have a preferred candidate, based on that candidate’s world view, experience, and stands on the issues.

We don’t “Obey” because a candidate–or her husband–encourages us to so do.

That’s the difference, see?

We think. You don’t.

Be Very Afraid.

If it is going to be BO, I hope McCain picks Condi Rice, that woman is tough.

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-18 22:30:10

She’s also gay. He’s not picking her, anymore than Obama will pick Napolitano.

I hope he doesn’t pick Mitt Romney. That guy is a sleaze. I can endure four years of McCain as the more experienced and staid alternative to Obama, but I will have to vote McKinney for certain if Popeye picks Rice. She’s tough, but she’s an idiot.

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-08-18 23:06:53

Rice is book smart, and people stupid. Rice knows how to study for a college exam, and that’s about it.

Rice was clueless, like the rest of the Dubya administration, on the middle east, but pushed the bonehead’s agenda anyway.

Rice refered to Dubya as “my husband”.

Rice is as radioactive as Colin Powell.

Ok someone got this message and it is a set up to try and unity-grab Hillary supporters as to think that with Hillary’s speech that we all come together and support Obama.What or who does the democratic party think they are or who do they take us for fools! Well we all need to stand up and stand our grounds-Obama is not getting a free past.And there is nothing noone can say-Hillary can not say anything to get us to unity.Obama said”He will get Hillary Supporters”No he won’t-and now they are taking out Hillary’s delegates and replacing them with more for Obama so he won’t look so bad.This is just wrong!

We can not let the democratic party get away with this.If Hillary isn’t the presidential nominne then McCain I will fully support-McCain.The democratic party stole-cheated and took the will of the people who voted for Hillary not just FL/MI in all states who voted for Hillary-Nancy Polsio paid thandsands of dollar each to delegates in the ststaes that Hillary won to put thier support behind Obama-?Huh? WE saw it all from Donna Brazile-May 31,convention-Howard Dean-The stealing of sign in sheets-The stealing of votes-The media lies and the democrativ party lies-I am sick of it! And to think that Denver they think they will play with our feelings and sure they read the blogs as well as here-Sop they will know how and try to work us to fall in line. NODEAL!

DNC CAN KISS MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!

Hilary for president 08
McCain for president 08

We saw it all-Why let then get away with this,Why.

NOOBAMA NEVER

Hello,

“It’s way above my pay grade,” “I’ll deal with Iran with a big stick and a big carrot,” those are just two of the multitde of pearls of wisdom coming from Obama.

We’ve just had 8 years of an idiot “dictator”. We can’t afford to have another one.

Obama’s change includes trying to change the presidential seal, changing the American flag on his jet to some kind of an Obama logo at a cost of %750,000 (think of all the poor people we could feed with this money), and wanting to tax the hell out of the middle class, the old, the young, the good, the bad, and the ugly - in short everybody.

He went on a worldwide tour and came back with NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE.

In Israel, he scared the Israelis with the dumbest Stick and Carrot speech.
In Germany, he was able to rally up tens of thousands of screaming rock n’ rollers with free concert, wurst and beer. Chancellor, Dr. Angela Merkel shook his hand very briefly and off she went to the Wagner Festival.

I just interviewed with the Japanese TV the equivalent of CNN, and the reporter told me off record that Japan is concerned about North Korea and Obama’s suggestion that he will talk to them and see what’s happening, is of great concern over there.

Please, stay with Hillary. We can’t afford to have a combination of an idiot and a dictator again.

Thanks to Uppity Woman and Geeklove for putting this vid together. McNerney represents my district, which went in a large way for Hillary. This is very good to know. I live right across the street from a polling place with over 140 linear feet of fence line facing the building where people vote. I envision many, many signs on my fence come Nove
