Ed Rendell...on MSNBC a few minutes ago: "John McCain is a great guy."

[Hepburn]

WTF? Why is the Hillary camp so enamored with McLame? Rendell says that McLame would be a third term for Dubya...but then praises him.

BTW: The quote was a paraphrase.

[XemaSab]

1. What a tool.

n/t

[SoCalDem]

2. They are trying to portray her campaign as being kind and generous

and by omission, Obama's is not..

Of course there was no opposing viewpoint to his..

[K Gardner]

3. I switched on for a second and caught him saying now we need to choose nominee by

ELECTORAL COLLEGE vote in big states ! WTF is going on??

I'm in a freakin alternate universe ! If ANY person.. I mean ANY candidate were proposing this bullcrap other than a CLINTON, would it get anything from the MSM but a LAUGH?

This is insane. Now they say "she's winning". They even have Chuck Todd discussing it, like its a legitimate claim.

Back to NO TV.

[Hepburn]

8. Yep....

...it is like a HUGE divorce from reality.

They just do NOT get it...and there is Rendell going on and on how Hillary has the solutions for PA ~~ ummmmmm, like NAFTA was sooooo great for the industrial states of the mid-West.

:eyes:

[writes3000]

11. It's ridiculous. The MSM knows it's ridiculous. But this is filler....

They need something to discuss. They're on live.

No one is legitimately buying this.

[Alter Ego]

14. Sometimes I wonder

if they realize that primaries != general election.

If this were the case, Kerry would have won something on the order of 48 states in 2004, he'd be President now, and we wouldn't be hashing out this Clinton/Obama mess--we'd be working to get him a second term.

Do we see how ridiculous this claim is? Winning California, New York, Texas, and Ohio in the goddamn PRIMARIES means nothing in comparison to winning it in the general election.

[City Lights]

4. We're supposed to be kicking McCain's ass. Instead, certain members of

our party are kissing it. Conduct unbecoming a Democrat. :puke:

[leftofcool]

5. Just because someone believes that another person

is a good American, a nice guy, does not mean that person wants the nice guy as president. I think Mike Huckabee is a nice guy too but I sure as hell don't want him as president. McCain should be praised as an American hero and as an upstanding citizen for his contributions but not as a candidate for president. I wish people would learn to understand that it is okay to like someone but not want them for president.

[ClassWarrior]

10. Tell it to the swing voters in the GE.

:eyes:

NGU.

[leftofcool]

12. You mean the independents who are voting for McCain anyway?

[Hepburn]

16. Well, true IF Hillary manages to steal the nomination.....

...however, Obama would pick up the swing voters whereas Hillary would not.

[Hepburn]

13. The words were....

"good guy."

And IMO is was meant as a contrast to Obama being a "bad guy." Why even mention this about McCain. IMO, Rendell should have stopped with his statement about a McCain presidency being the same as a third term for Dumbass Bush.

JMHO

[TooBigaTent]

21. McInsane is a nice guy?!?!?!? He is an immoral, corrupt, Bush-kissing asshole who

has NO redeeming qualities.

Try looking at his history (Keating, his wives, his insane rage) instead of buying the media message. It is blind acceptance of the bullshit being piled around the McCain Statue that has convinced so many Dems that he would be an acceptable alternative to their first choice.

He is NOT a good American (when you start mouthing Hannity platitudes, I know something is wrong).

[jenmito]

25. Hillary has praised McCain at the expense of Obama. She said MCCAIN "met the CIC test"

but Obama made a speech in 2002. If/when Obama is our nominee, the Repubs. have all those clips of Hillary and her peeps praising McCain at the expense of Obama.

[writes3000]

6. I understand the need to be respectful to a POW but...

At a certain point, it becomes ridiculous.

I can see the GOP ad now. After fifty clips of the Clintons saying what a great guy McCain is, you hear: "Even the Democrats agree - John McCain - the next great President."

[LisaL]

15. Considering republicans supposedly hate Hillary, that should

make them question whether McCain is suited for presidency.

[movonne]

20. It's really too bad they didn't stick up for Kerry...

[azmouse]

7. Rendell, Hillary and McSame are all taking money from the same GOP group.

You don't bite the hand that financially feeds you.

[MadHound]

9. The Hillary campaign is willing to sacrifice anything, the party, the people, this country

All on the altar of her ego and ambition. If she can't get the nomination this year, she figures that McCain is a one term president and she can get into the WH in 2012.

[Hepburn]

18. Boy, IMO, are you correct....

...it is all ego and win at any cost with Hillary. :puke:

[peaches2003]

17. Ed Rendell is trying to save face

He jumped on the Hillary bandwagon when she was a 'sure thing' and now looks foolish. Sure, she'll take PA, he'll see to that, but he was counting on a Cabinet post if he put all his eggs in her basket and now he knows the days of him having a serious future career with the Dem Party are over. :nopity:

[David__77]

19. I think they want to "Dole" him.

They want to make him an affable, but out-of-his-element character. That's my BEST case take on it in terms of how this reflects on Clinton's camp.

[WolverineDG]

22. Ah, but I loved how Andrea Mitchell brought up the sniper fire story

"I was on that trip" was all she needed to say.

[jenmito]

23. I saw him say that (paraphrase). Funny how they ALL praise McCain. How can they then claim

they'd be able to be tougher against him when they act like she's in love with him or something?!

Hey, Hepburn! :hi:

[democrattotheend]

24. So what? This does not bother me.

Obama has said good things about McCain too. Hillary's comments about the commander in chief threshold bothered me because they implied that Obama was not qualified to be president, but saying McCain is a great guy doesn't bother me.

[jenmito]

26. (5th) rec.!

:hi:

[Stinky The Clown]

27. That is totally without context

Why don't you mention the context of the remark?

I, too, saw it live.

I can help with the context if you've forgotten it. :sarcasm:

[Doctor_J]

28. Yes, the Clinton people won't admit it, but they've begun en masse

to start campaigning for McCain.

Pathetic, really. I am beginning to regret defending Clinton throughout the 90s

[tblue37]

29. He is NOT a great guy. He is a mean SOB who even took nasty pot shots at

Chelsea Clinton, as bad as the ones Limbaugh took, when she was a child in the WHhite House. He is an evil mofo. How can the Clintons suck up to a man who said the things he said about Chelsea?
