  • zephyear, on 03/28/2008, -9/+61***** YEAH BOB CASEY
    • unreg, on 03/28/2008, -19/+5Whoop di ***** doo...............
    • worldsbestgamer, on 03/28/2008, -10/+3This whole thing is getting pointless. The divided party has been polled and whichever way they swing, they have shown they are likely to jump ship and vote McCain.
    • ell0bo, on 03/28/2008, -8/+4First off, Casey is kinda a double talker. He says that he's for the working man, but when he came in as auditor general back like... 10 years ago he cleaned out and put all of his own people in. I only know this because my mom was one of those canned.

      That being said, the guy can actually get people to vote for him, and his family has some strange aura about it in PA that I just can't figure out. It'll help Obama out against clinton, so I'm glad, but he's still a prick.
      • Solis, on 03/28/2008, -5/+4The Casey family is a great family. You're the prick.
      • Masefield, on 03/28/2008, -2/+7We own him a debt of gratitude for ridding us of Rick Santorum.
        • SoxSweepAgain, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3Word, brother. Santorum was a filthy piece of hypocritical scum. I loved watching his family cry on the podium. HAH!
    • ivan14, on 03/28/2008, -8/+3Kerry endorsed Obama
      Kennedy endorsed Obama

      Hillary won big in Massachusetts!
      • SoxSweepAgain, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Sure, before she made up the Bosnia story out of whole cloth.
      • ivan14, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0and she's still win BIG in PA since Obama still associates himself with his racist pastor!
    • unearth, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1***** YEAH SEAKING
  • Katy7540, on 03/28/2008, -9/+50Thank you Senator Casey, Reps. Patrick Murphy and Chaka Fattah, and former Lt. Gov. Mark Singel for your endorsements of Senator Obama and for your efforts towards uniting the Democratic party.
    • deanlowe, on 03/28/2008, -4/+1I thought Obama wants super delegates to follow the voters? Isn't that why they forced Rep. John Lewis to change his vote?
  • Kas70, on 03/28/2008, -5/+38Very welcome news! Glad to know that, contrary to what the media would have us believe, there are white men in PA who can see Obama's worth and are willing to publicly say so.
    • ell0bo, on 03/28/2008, -4/+7Man, you don't even want to know what people think here. PA is surprisingly still damn racist, and that's part of Obama's problem here. Gladly, I haven't met too many people under the age of 27 that are not going to vote for Obama, and those that are I'm trying my best to convert. I did however have to stop talking to a girl when she told me she wasn't going to vote for Obama, because she heard he was Muslim.
  • kynn, on 03/28/2008, -6/+62The last paragraph caught my eye: "Casey's decision was also personal, motivated in part by the enthusiasm his four daughters - Elyse, Caroline, Julia and Marena - have expressed for Obama, the source said. "He thinks we shouldn't be deaf to the voices of the next generation.""

    I have heard many similar family stories. The enthusiasm that Obama generates is a force to be reckoned with.

    • poploserdigg, on 03/28/2008, -4/+5useless without pics of the daughters.
      • tman84, on 03/28/2008, -3/+2Wife looks cute in that thumbnail, so I wouldn't mind seeing that either.
    • yojiffyskippy, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Oh sure, he didn't listen to them when they all wanted ipods but when it comes to political decisions then he listens to them.
  • stimpygato, on 03/28/2008, -4/+33This PA DEM is voting for in the primary for Obama.

    I also was impressed with Casey's admitted influence of his own daughters. We should all take a moment and think of exactly what is at stake for our nation and our children's futures.
  • vinnyvenus, on 03/28/2008, -30/+4He is still not going to win in PA.
    • Acewrap, on 03/28/2008, -2/+20She's still not going to win the primary.
      • vinnyvenus, on 03/28/2008, -7/+4Neither Obama nor Clinton can win this primary without Super delegates. Also if you count Michigan and Florida Clinton will lead Obama in popular vote at the end of this primary.
        • nirav72, on 03/28/2008, -2/+9Of course she will lead in MI..Obama was never on the ballot! Its like Castro in cuba getting 99% of the vote - Why? He was the only candidate! You clinton supporters are un-*****-believable - change the rules in the middle of the game because she's loosing. It was never an issue when she decided to break the rule she herself agreed upon and decided to campaign in FL and MI.
        • vinnyvenus, on 03/28/2008, -6/+2First of all I am not a Clinton supporter. I am just trying to balance all the pro-Obama stories which seem to hitting the front page.
          Clinton has a very valid claim to be the democratic nominee. Majority of states in which Obama seems to be winning are going republican in general election. While Clinton seems to be winning are democratic states.
          If redo was to happen in Florida and Michigan, Obama knows that Clinton is going to carry those states by double digits.
          • nirav72, on 03/28/2008, -1/+7My apologies for calling you a clinton supporter. However, my point was that MI and FL cannot be redone just because clinton wants them to revote. She signed an agreement that MI and FL delegates would not count . She can't change the rules when she's falling behind.

            Also, you're right. Clinton did win all the blue states. But it does not mean that she will win in the general election. No way in hell is the GOP going to let Clinton win in the GE. Even ultra conservative McCain haters will come out in droves to vote for him. The dem party is already split. A lot of Obama voters won't vote for Clinton in the general. Something like 20% will stay home. Even Hillary brought this point up in a speech yesterday as a concern she has.

            Also, its not diggs fault that Obama stories make it to the front page. Thats just the way ranking algorithim works. I doubt the coders had Obama in mind when they wrote it.
    • LocalDocal, on 03/28/2008, -1/+7He doesn't need to; he won everywhere else. Besides, even if he doesn't win PA, he'll still have PA supporters like me who will make sure Clinton won't catch up too fast.
    • aliengoods, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7Perhaps not, but anything less than a 20% Clinton win and Hillary's 'slim chance in Hell' turns into a 'no chance in Hell'.
    • kipmartin, on 03/28/2008, -2/+6he doesnt need to, you moron.
    • buhbyebot, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Repeat that to yourself and it will come true! /s
      I think he just might take PA, but as it has been exhaustively expressed, Hillary needs to win by more than 20% to make it even worth while, and (big pause) she won't, so I guess that makes your statement much like a single ant treading water in the middle of an ocean of reason.
  • brokenspatula, on 03/28/2008, -23/+2I thought superdelegates was cheating?
    • aliengoods, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Try not to think. We wouldn't want to see you hurt yourself.
    • kipmartin, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3you need an ESL course.
    • SoxSweepAgain, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Cheating? Obama is fighting fire with fire because he's facing a fratricidal scumbag campaigner.
  • khail250, on 03/28/2008, -26/+7Breaking!!! apple, iphone, ron paul!! smart plan to get on the front page

    I wonder if i just have a title, "BREAKING, eating a cheese sandwhich" and a picture of me eating a cheese sandwhich will get on the front page. but maybe im jaded?
    • aliengoods, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Give it a shot. If it works it's a hell of a story.
    • kipmartin, on 03/28/2008, -2/+2you need a good story to get people to digg it up. if you can link apple, iphone, ron paul, and ANYTHING, youll get up there. but fake news wont get you dugg up.
  • fiorenza, on 03/28/2008, -3/+16One more SuperDG.
  • MrErr, on 03/28/2008, -2/+23This is great for OBAMA. The only places where Clinton is supposed to win are mainly red areas, with a lot off pro-lifers. With Casey endrorsement, Obama could pick those votes.
    • nirav72, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Don't understand how Clinton can win the Pro-life vote. That woman is far from pro-life. I'm sure she probably sold herself as pro-life in those select few areas. Anything to get a vote.
  • spiraltri3e, on 03/28/2008, -18/+7Buried for "Breaking".
  • davidsmero, on 03/28/2008, -7/+18Breaking: People like Obama
    • verevi, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2I just got a call from a friend (usually conservative voter) that voted for Obama due to my urging. Sadly, he said this wright stuff has given him second thoughts on Obama. I hope this thing hasn't hurt him too badly in PA.
  • incredibilistic, on 03/28/2008, -2/+17With Hillary's approval rating dropping and having to duck stories about Bosnia and the recent fund raiser scandal it will take quite a bit for Hillary to get back into the race.

    What's also great is that Obama has both a Hispanic and a white dude have recently joined his side of the Democratic aisle. I also like the thing about the influence of his daughters. Hillary just doesn't appeal to the younger audience as much as Obama. If the vote were up to the 14 to 18 year olds the race would be in Obama's favor by like 80%.
    • ivan14, on 03/28/2008, -5/+1Hispanic rallying over Obama?! where the hell did you get that idea. a huge 40% of hispanics in his home state of Illinois voted for Hillary! that is embarassing considering that IL is his home state!
      Hilllary draws her support from the true base of the Democratic Party, the working class, the common man, the masses! And that's why she can easily win the election in NOV!
      • incredibilistic, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3I didn’t say Hispanics were rallying behind Obama. You did. If 40% Hispanics voted for Hillary then the other 60% didn't. Last time I checked 60% was better than 40%. Even Bush didn’t win the presidency by 60%.

        As for Hillary catering more to the working class; that may be true but that doesn’t help the fact that she’s only won 14 states and Obama’s won 30. The “masses” as you call them must only live in 14 states. Hard to fight the math on this but somehow you seem to believe that Hillary can win when Obama has twice as many states than she does. And since she doesn’t know the difference from gun fire and shaking a girl’s hand she’ll do even worse.
        • ivan14, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0let's look at the states Obama won, Wyoming, Idaho, Kansas etc... all SMALL RED STATES. they have small population, so they only have few electoral college votes and they are RED states so it will eventually go to McCain in Nov.
          Hillary won the states which matter! Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are the 5 biggest battleground states, and she won BIG in all of them! That is more important than winning a lot of small red states!
      • motivatedmama, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5I fit squarely in Hillary's supposed demographic.
        How ridiculous is it to vote for someone just because you share their gender?! (which in her case, I am ashamed to say I do)
        This Kentucky Woman is voting for Obama.
        • michael532111, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5My hat is off to you. As a 71 year old white guy, I also fit in Hillary's supposed demographic. I voted for Obama in the Wisconsin primary and he is the ONLY one I'll vote for in November.
  • EarlOfLade, on 03/28/2008, -2/+14For once, I support the meme "Think about the children!"
    This is an election that will set the path forward for this country and as it is now, the country is in shambles and it needs to be amended.

    Time for new brooms, time for Obama! Enough Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton...
    • ivan14, on 03/28/2008, -2/+0have you even read Hillary Clinton's policies?! it's no way similar to her husband's!
      • diggduggDOOM, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4I thought one of the selling points for Hillary is that we'd get Bill, too. Your statement that their policies are so different would suggest that this is not the case, or that Bill and Hillary would be conflicted about policy.

        One of the reasons I do not support Hillary is that I don't like the idea of two families being in the white house for so long. It's a little too much like royalty.
        • ivan14, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0"I thought one of the selling points for Hillary is that we'd get Bill"

          you thought wrong!
      • EarlOfLade, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Exactly! And that is one of the problems with her. She is totally unsuitable for any such position.
        But we don't need two families running USA for close to 30 years
  • stonewaljacksn, on 03/28/2008, -15/+10So earlier today, I wrote Clinton on one dog food bowl and Obama on the other. Then, I filled them both up with dog food, and laid them out side by side in front of my dog, and he went for the one that said Obama. I'm currently blogging about how my dog endorsed Obama and I hope to have it on the front page of digg soon.
    • ivan14, on 03/28/2008, -4/+1so obviously, immature creatures go for Obama. wow!
    • incredibilistic, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I'm not so sure this is a good thing for Obama. Maybe if he was campaigning for dog catcher but otherwise this isn't a good idea.
  • hilikus34, on 03/28/2008, -11/+1Haha. This just in...Operation chaos operatives have infiltrated the Dem. convention as delegates! In the event of a close vote, they will cast a vote for Hillary!
  • al11588, on 03/28/2008, -4/+0Where is John Edwards when you need him. Windows=FTW
    • ivan14, on 03/28/2008, -7/+0John Edwards is not stupid enough to endorse a speech plagiarizing and racist pastor loving Obama!
      • michael532111, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Your comment is so shallow it's astounding.
  • rogerbly, on 03/28/2008, -4/+2Dem party chairman Howard Dean, says he will not allow the candidate selection to go to the convention. The party will decide before then. Since it appears that neither Obama or Clinton will receive enough delegates win the nomination, party leaders are pushing for Al Gore at the top of the ticket with Clinton or Obama as VP.

    See today's CNN: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/
    • ivan14, on 03/28/2008, -5/+1give me AL GORE anytime over overrated Obama!
    • SoxSweepAgain, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3This will NEVER happen, EVER.
  • shyner, on 03/28/2008, -4/+15I knew campaigning for Bob Casey was a good idea!

    On a side note.. ***** Rick Santorum
    • hikaruzero, on 03/28/2008, -1/+8I also worked, in part, to get Bob Casey elected and Rick Santorum thrown the ***** out of office, through Clean Water Action's endorsement. It was awesome seeing Santorum's once commanding 55%+ lead dwindle down to the low 30%'s, and then see Casey get elected.

      Casey has since proceeded to have a 100% record with the League of Conservation Voters regarding the environment, and now? He's endorsing Obama.

      So far he's the ONE SINGLE politician I am proud to say I like having in office. For me to say that ... that's just ... I could write an essay. :D
      • shyner, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Amen to that. Thanks for doing your part as well.
  • kipmartin, on 03/28/2008, -3/+18ok, my opinion of Bob Casey just jumped up a couple notches.

    a lot of conservative people who see past sensationalist headlines and the constant anti-Obama innuendo have jumped on board with Obama. they usually cite that the need for change transcends policy and that integrity trumps political philosophy.

    today, this Pennsylvanian is proud of his state's leaders!
  • papipablo, on 03/28/2008, -13/+4Bob Casey is a racist with ties to radical Islam.
    • hikaruzero, on 03/28/2008, -8/+4HAHAHAHAH BOB CASEY DRAWS PICS OF MOHAMMAD AND HANGS THEM ON HIS OFFICE'S EAST WALLS FACING MECCA LOL k
  • saturnx8, on 03/28/2008, -11/+3ok, my opinion is I could give a *****. I mean really I come to obama.com formerly known as digg.com to read tech, games and other pressing world news. Obama and his brainwashed supporters can eat ***** already.
    • hikaruzero, on 03/28/2008, -1/+8Here's a thought! Digg isn't just for techies and gamers, it's for people who want to stay on the latest forefront of COMMUNITY NEWS. If you want just a *part* of the community to decide what you see, then go into your options and remove the ruttin' politics section so that you never have to see Obama's name again.
      In the meantime, quit whining, your posts show only how bad you are at using Digg's features to accomplish what you want.
    • avidwriter, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4hey, i know don't read the article. tough huh?
    • motivatedmama, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3So go read, "read tech, games and other pressing world news." There's a search Digg bar at the top of the page.
  • ftx437, on 03/28/2008, -8/+3whooopdi freakin doo..
    • Chirp08, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4you know membership to digg doesn't require commenting on every article, especially the ones you have nothing to contribute to.

  • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -9/+2hooray, Bob Casey, PRO LIFE and PRO GUN!!!!

    • Chirp08, on 03/28/2008, -2/+1ANTI ABORTION and PRO KILLING BABIES!
    • MrErr, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1So how can anyone be pro-life and pro-gun too, unless their pro-life does not go all the way.
    • SoxSweepAgain, on 03/28/2008, -2/+1Good. I'm also pro-life (but not for religious reasons, AT ALL) as well as Pro-2nd Amendment AND I'm voting Obama. Those aren't big issues to me, nor should they be to anyone these days.
  • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -10/+4This just in,

    John McCain continues to lead both potential Democratic opponents. McCain leads Barack Obama 49% to 42% and Hillary Clinton 49% to 41% (see recent daily results). McCain is now viewed favorably by 54% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 43%. Obama’s reviews are 49% favorable and 49% unfavorable. For Clinton, those numbers are 45% favorable, 53% unfavorable
    • Chirp08, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5these numbers don't really matter much until we get it down to 1 on 1 and have some real debates.
      • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -4/+1Yeah, sure,they dont really matter much to you because they dont tell you what you want to hear.
      • motivatedmama, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Oh man! I can't wait! Obama will talk circles around the old man!
        Besides, the Dems will rally when the choice between bombing Iran/staying in Iraq for 100 years vs. a serious attempt at diplomacy/regaining global respect becomes apparent. Their views are as different as night and day.
      • SoxSweepAgain, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3That's right, Chirp. When the 527 groups get on TV reminding people of how McCain was one of the Keating 5, doesn't know the difference between Shiite and Sunni, said "100 Years", and would be the oldest president ever elected, he'll come way down. He's a rotten debater, too- Obama will OWN him.
    • thefirstenemy, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2RealClearPolitics has the contest in a virtual tie right now. This is when Obama is being attacked by Clinton and McCain. And McCain is only tied with Obama. As soon as Obama locks the nomination officially, and starts the contest against McCain Obama's numbers will likely go up, and McCain's will stagnate or even decline.
  • rezist, on 03/28/2008, -11/+4I'm so ***** off about my party throwing away the white house this election, I'm not looking forward to another 4 years of republican (leadership?) Clinton would have done nothing short of gnaw McCain's eyes out to get into the white house, while now we're forced to sit back and watch Obama get destroyed by the republicans. Things like abortion rights, reducing the fed. debt, minimum wage, and not bombing Iran are important to me, not "change."
  • reuscel, on 03/28/2008, -1/+12To everyone bitching about too many political stories on digg: you are aware this is an election year, right? Just calm down, and in a few months, digg will be back to being your source for cracked.com's top 10 lists, linux fanboyism, and reasons why the Xbox is better than the PS3 and vice-versa.
  • hillaryrules111, on 03/28/2008, -11/+1Breaking News: I support Hillary
  • ivan14, on 03/28/2008, -13/+0big deal! Kennedy and Kerry endorsed Obama. and yet HILLARY won big in Massachusetts!

    PENNSYLVANIA POLLS

    Clinton 56 ...woohoo!
    Obama 30 ...hahaha!

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/presi ...

    get over with it Obama, once Hillary knocks down Obama in PA, it's the start of the downfall of your delusional idol! The PA win will boost her chances in Oregon, Indiana, and even North Carolina!

    Superdelegates like candidates who can win the big battleground states. Florida, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania are Clinton countries.

    Competency + Experience + Best Policies + Electibility = SUPERDELEGATES!!

    Hillary wins the nomination!

    Obama freaks get over wit it!
    • thefirstenemy, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2"Competency" Obama wins
      "Experience" The last few weeks should have proved to all Hillary loses here.
      "Best Policies" Obama
      "Electibility" Obama
      "SUPERDELEGATES!!" Moving to Obama. Hillary has never led a day in the delegate count since Janurary third if you count Superdelegates. I'm sure she squeezed near every last superdelegate endorsement possible before the primaries started.
      • ivan14, on 03/29/2008, -1/+0Obama wins in experience?!!! He can't even talk about experience because he got NONE! as in ZERO!

        Electibility for Obama? He can't even win the big states like CA, OH, NJ, FL, MI, and PA. where's the electibility in that?
        • thefirstenemy, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Obama was a community organizer for a while. Constitutional lawyer for sometime. Elected office for 12 years.
          Hillary was first lady, and has been in elected office for 8 years.

          Because losing a state in the primary definitely means a candidate must lose it in the general election. That's why we know Hillary will win Arizona! And McCain will win New York and California!
  • mach68, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5This is a HUGE BLOW to Hillary Clinton!
  • bonhoeffer, on 03/28/2008, -13/+1Shame on Sen. Casey for embracing the candidate who gave $25,000 to Trinity United Church of Christ, and is buds with its racist, anti-American leader.
  • reuscel, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3What I'd like to see next is Arlen Specter endorsing Obama. Unlikely, but it sure would be sweet.
  • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -0/+8Please, please, please let Obama win the democratic nomination.

    You have no idea how ***** off those women are going to be if they give it to barrack before the convention, especially considering they wont seat the Fla and Michigan delegates.

    Hell hath no fury.....

    I guess it doesn't surprise me that a lot of Diggers don't understand this.
    • diggduggDOOM, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2So ***** off they're likely to vote for pro-life McCain? No.

      I think the greater danger is alienating the young and new Dems. These are the same voters the Dem party has been trying to engage for decades. Admittedly, this group does not vote in the same numbers for the general as they usually do in the primaries, but we're still looking at record turnouts throughout the primary. If the Dems mess up, they've squandered the chance to greatly increase participation and new voters.
      • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -2/+1He's not pro-life, he's lying just like Obama does on a daily basis.

        Oh, and yes they will vote for McCain, go read some polls.
        • diggduggDOOM, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0Could you direct me to a national poll of pro-choice women with regards to their likely votes for McCain v Obama?

          As for McCain lying about being pro-life, I think you're wrong. At any rate, those pro-choice women would also have to believe that McCain was lying and that doesn't seem like a good basis for a vote. That doesn't even bring up the other issues where McCain and Obama disagree.
          • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Give up, read the polls.
          • diggduggDOOM, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0Give what up?

            I'll ask again, since you still haven't shown me a poll to support your statement. Could you direct me to a national poll of pro-choice women with regards to their likely votes for McCain v Obama?
    • motivatedmama, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Nobody will be "giving" him anything. He's come from nowhere and smoked her ass! As for those "scorned" women....they will for the most part see reason. The few psychos who do turn traitor just because Hillary is a woman are obviously unhinged and not an asset to this party.
      • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Crazy Votes count just as much as ....wait most of the Dems are loons.
  • fletter, on 03/28/2008, -4/+1Ah ha, hush that fuss
    Everybody move to the back of the bus
    Do you wanna bump and slump with us
    We the type of people make the club get crunk
  • Schmapdi, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Very nice - and nice to see a politician having the balls to make an endorsement before his state/district/etc vote.
  • jkichline, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5Come on PA voters! You are the voice of the future! Let's get honest and intelligence back into the White House! Go Obama!
  • aerwin, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Very big and important endorsement.
  • influenceuh, on 03/28/2008, -0/+8How many nails does Hillary Clinton's coffin have again?
  • WikiEasy, on 03/28/2008, -10/+2More ObamaSPAM
  • eregorn, on 03/28/2008, -3/+2None of these politicians supporting Obama want the finger pointed at them when Hillary wins the nomination! They know what is going to happen.
  • sigg14, on 03/28/2008, -5/+3breaking: buried
  • shanafme, on 03/28/2008, -3/+6Hats off to Casey! This is one PA resident happy to have a half-way decent senator as opposed to what we used to have in Santorum.
  • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -7/+3Obama quote,
    """It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere…That’s the world! On which hope sits!"

    Pretty funny considering Rev Wright just got back from a CRUISE and purchased a 10,000 square foot home with church funds.
    • diggduggDOOM, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Do you have a link for that quote? I'd like to read the whole thing.
    • diggduggDOOM, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Nevermind, I found it. Although that's from Obama's book, it's actually a quote from Rev. Wright.
      • JointVenture, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1thats why its so funny that he went on a cruise.....dont ya think!

        That and the fact that he's quoting a man who he's NEVER heard say such things.
        • diggduggDOOM, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Do you write anything that isn't a misrepresentation?
          • JointVenture, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Whats not funny about a self righteous religious zealot making a speech where he scolds white people for taking cruises TAKING a cruise.
  • zeiben, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Come on Gov. Rendell. You don't sound like a total tool on the news, so how's about sticking up for the democratic party and doing the right thing?
  • derekivey, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Take that Rendell! I hope other people from PA start to endorse Obama instead of Hillary!
  • SoxSweepAgain, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3All Obama needs to do is finish within 20 points of Hillary in PA to get a fairly good delegate split. I think this will move 2-4 points to him.
  • whodat51773, on 03/28/2008, -4/+5Remember the election in 2006?

    Thought you might like to read the following:
    A little over one year ago:
    1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
    2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
    3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
    Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
    1) Consumer confidence plummet;
    2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
    3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
    4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
    5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; 6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

    America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
    • diggduggDOOM, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5I never saw it like that. I'm totally switching my vote to the Republicans 'cause they definitely didn't fail repeatedly for the last 7 years.

      Yeah, that's the ticket.
    • Pedestrian101, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1It's the same logic dems use against the GOP and Bush, but lol anyway.
  • zspade, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1Anyone else notice the astounding number of ignorant comments under this article. I'm afraid Pennsylvania may not be for Obama, they're too interested in keeping things the same for some reason.
    Sorry to those few sane among the sea of crazy in Pennsylvania, keep strong.
  • Bishman, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1One more superdelegate for Obama. I wish Hillary would go ahead and drop out and endorse Obama for the good of the Democratic party. Oh well. Obama will keep picking super DGs as the weeks pass by.

    Pro life or Pro the other thing, these music videos just might break your heart and (hopefully) change your mind.
