Today, Gov. Rendell acknowledged that Obama in the Nominee...
...at a Transportation Financing conference I attended in NYC.

Progress, there's no stopping it.

1. Rendell has been leaning this way for a while now
so no big surprise. It doesn't appear that Hillary is listening to him though.

2. The politicians that support her ain't no dummies.
Democrats that go against our nominee at this point are committing political suicide.

It's messed up, but apparently Hillary won't quit until all of her long time friends and supporters realize the inevitability of the situation and abandon her to support the nominee. She'd rather be UTTERLY HUMILIATED than summon a little grace and concede.

3. He also said today on CNN he felt Obama was the weaker candidate and
followed it up by saying he should help pay all of Clintons debt.

6. He was going to raise all of that money for FL and MI revotes...
He can't encourage those donors to chip in for her campaign debts?

4. Politicians that support her aren't stupid.
Democrats that go against our nominee at this point are committing political suicide. Supporting her now looks foolish and spiteful. Supporting her in this ridiculous hostage crisis RUINS a politician's credibility.

what's more, who doesn't want a piece of Obama's fundraising juggernaut? 1.5 million donors can't be wrong.

5. Too bad he wasn't willing to do that on national TV last night.
What a calculating fink.

7. Yeah, I remember when Eddy was at the Sporting Club at

the Bellevue before he was mayor, on the exercycle all day...trying in vain to pick up young women. then they decided that he was moldable and would get gambling into Philly and of course, PA in general. He will NOT be the VP pick, I can promise you that.

I like him personally though...met him on several occasions and he is quite charismatic in person, and effective, as was Frank Rizzo.

8. Rendell: "Barack doesn't need me on the ticket in PA because I'm going to work my heart out...
for him anyway".

I bashed Rendell upthread, but I need to give him props for this truly classy statement.
