Congratulations Dear Hillary! - 100 Pa. mayors back Hillary Clinton

[Maribelle]

Casting Hillary in a positive light:

Hillary Clinton's campaign will announce today that she has the support of 100 Pennsylvania mayors. The announcement is planned for noon at the Capitol in Harrisburg.

A number of mayors, including Harrisburg's Stephen R. Reed, picked Clinton over Barack Obama earlier this year. Clinton will not attend today's announcement. Her staff says she is preparing for Wednesday night's debate with Obama in Philadelphia.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

4. well done Sen Clinton

[0007]

6. How many real mayors are there in Pennsylvania? Must be

at least over 2500 townships.

[Texas Hill Country]

8. are you implying that there are fake mayors?

[0007]

70. One hundred mayors in the size of Pennsylvania is not very many.

Why wouldn't there be fake mayors, we have a fake president.

[Texas Hill Country]

7. nicely done K&R

[gatorboy]

9. That's alot of top hats!

[DefenseLawyer]

10. Mayor McCheese was always loyal to Bill Clinton

[JBoy]

23. LOL!

[berni_mccoy]

11. She promised each a day of Mark Penn's campaign earnings ($106,100).

[Straight Shooter]

:hi:

[BobRossi]

13. Wow 100 votes.

That ought to clinch the deal ><

[leftofcool]

19. No 100 mayors who influence the votes of thousands

[shadowknows69]

40. Bwah ha ha ha, Yeah I always look to my Mayor to decide my vote

More Pennsylvanians will be influenced by the Steeler's coach's endorsement.

[Obamanaut]

45. Well, maybe not thousands. Just picked two of the towns listed

downthread (randomly), googled them, and came up with 1,438 pop (2000 census). One of them was 290, the other 1438. As PA small towns go, so goes the nation :sarcasm:

[bigtree]

14. wowzers!

that's really something.

K&R!

[emilyg]

15. Go Hillary.

[leftofcool]

18. Way to go Hillary

[KingFlorez]

20. Great news

[zulchzulu]

21. Is it because they love what NAFTA and China trade bills have done to their towns?

Thanks to the Clintons, thousands of jobs have left Pennsylvania (and Indiana and North Carolina).

These mayors are dipshits. I want a list. I'll email every last one of them and ask why they are suckers.

[ImpeechBush]

58. Are you seeking refuge from your bitterness by opposing free trade?

a phenomenon recently described by one of our Presidential candidates

[TahitiNut]

22. Are those all that Ed Rendell could round up and arm-twist?

Gotta love the Rendell patronage system. :shrug:

[Maribelle]

25. Hillary far outshines Obama in yet another area:

Allentown mayor endorses Clinton

The Associated Press

Democratic Mayor Ed Pawlowski on Monday endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for president, saying the New York senator's speech on crime last week clinched his decision.

"I have studied both candidates' positions on health care, the environment and improving our schools, but Friday's proposal on anti-crime gets at the very heart of the problem facing cities across America," Pawlowski said in a statement.

Clinton outlined her $4 billion-a-year anti-crime initiative in a speech in Philadelphia on Friday, saying she would revive several programs started by her husband's administration, including federal funding of community-oriented prosecutors and police officers.

"Neither one, up until that point, has talked about how they would effectively address the issue of crime," Pawlowski said in a phone interview. "She took a stance. And quite honestly for Pennsylvania, it was a significant stance."

[TahitiNut]

34. All good Republicans are hard on crime.

After all, having the largest per capita prison population in the world ain't nearly enough!!

Everyone should remember Willie Horton when they look at Obama, right? :eyes:

[shaniqua6392]

24. Well done Senator Clinton!

That is very impressive and I am glad they are showing their support to her.

[zulchzulu]

27. Where's the list?

It's not in the link. I smell a rat.

[Maribelle]

31. It's written in magic ink for the eyes of Hillary supporters only.

As you call up the web site it reads your retina.

God BLESS Pennsylvania!

[rodeodance]

36. :-)

[shadowknows69]

44. BTW she's still not going to be the nominee.

But you know that right? Obama is going to destroy her in the debate tomorrow night.

[desi]

38. No doubt she impressed the Mayors

with her marksmanship ;-)

[demwing]

41. WOOT! Thats a whole ONE PERCENT!

Of all cities and towns in PA.

I'm impressed!

[Arrowhead2k1]

43. All the mayoral support in the world

[Taxmyth]

46. Way to go Senator Clinton

It ain't over yet.

[scheming daemons]

47. LOL.... MSNBC reporting that less than 20 mayors showed up..... oh well....

that rounds up to about a "hundred".... right, math-challenged Hillbots?

[Maribelle]

48. Who on earth said 100 were supposed to 'show up'?

Sheesh. CNN will do anything to downplay anything positive about Hillary, don't you even know this yet?

[JackORoses]

49. since when does 100 = 20?

[PetraPooh]

50. So if they didn't "show up" where's the evidence that 100 are supporting her?

[ericgtr]

51. So that's around 1% of the states Mayor's and less than 20% actually showed up

What's that make it?

[Beacool]

52. Great, thanks for posting!!!!

BTW, there are 100 mayors supporting her throughout the state. They were NOT all planning to be there. Leave it to the MSM to try to belittle any Hillary positive news.

[poplockndropit]

53. Go hillary

[democrattotheend]

55. "Dear Hillary"?

And you call us cultists! :think:

Congrats on the endorsements though. Just thought the title was a little over the top.

[otohara]

68. Dear-ie

that's better!

[greguganus]

56. LMAO. Kicking for the 81 mayors that didn't show up! n/t

[Maribelle]

62. All 100 mayors showed up on the list, and each endorses Hillary.

But please do tell me which part of 'list' you do not understand and I would gladly help you out.

[Pisces]

57. So sad, another Sniper delusion of hers that 100 mayor would show up.

[Maribelle]

60. Hillary's campaign released a list of 100 Pennsylvania mayors who endorsed Clinton.

All 100 showed up on the list.

[Bensthename]

59. 81 other mayors give Hillary the bird.. Soo, soo, sad for Hillary.

:cry:

[Maribelle]

61. Giving false information about 81 mayors will do Obama no good.

[Bensthename]

64. 81 other mayors give Hillary the bird.. Soo, soo, sad for Hillary.

[NDambi]

63. Whoooo a whole 100! Party time.. lmao

[Maribelle]

65. The Sound of 100 Mayors Clapping

The 100 mayors endorsing Hillary today will work in the final week of the campaign to get out Hillary’s message of change for Pennsylvania and the country. Hillary understands the economic pressures of families who have lost jobs, face foreclosures, and can’t afford health insurance or college tuition. She understands what it’s like to roll up your sleeve and work hard. As president, Hillary will fight for the issues that matter to all Americans starting on day one in the White House.

66. Dear

God just aged her to grandma status.

67. Kudos to Hillary on the endorsements.

And kudos to the classy Obama supporters who offered congrats as well.

And a big F**K YOU to the not-so-classy Obots who felt compelled to piss on the thread.

Bake

[OzarkDem]

69. That's quite an endorsement!

I also understand her lead in PA has grown to double digits again (SUSA poll).
