Haven’t heard of it yet, but he is going to have to.

Since Rendell is certainly not a friend of Obama - he is friends with Bill - and mayor Nutter is black, this might be an interesting development to watch for.

Nutter:
------------------------

supports having the City of Philadelphia declare a “Crime Emergency” in selected areas of Philadelphia.
This would station more officers in certain areas of Philadelphia, limit the ability to gather on public sidewalks, impose a curfew for all residents, and limit the ability to travel in certain areas.
The proposal includes a warrant-less police search technique known as “stop-and-frisk.”
Nutter claims that this approach is sufficiently similar to one that was found to be Constitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1968 in Terry v Ohio.

Nutter supports the eviction of the Cradle of Liberty Council of the Boy Scouts of America from their headquarters on the Ben Franklin Parkway.

-----------------------------------

The liberal rags here like the Philadelphia Inquirer will be like a cat with 2 tails.

Yea, rats will jump a sinking ship. Not to mention Obama is BUYING super delegates.

At least in the GOP you can’t BUY a nomination. Now tell me which party is all about money?? Yea right. Democrats are Hypocrites.

44 members of the Black Caucus, except Obama, come from mostly black districts. They need to reflect their constituents who are overwhelmingly supporting Obama...

And overwhelmingly Racist.

Again, I see your points. Thank you - bill

LOL. Or very wise and educated voters who don't want a Clinton back in the WH.

Pa city politics is rotten to the core, and Pennsylvania will go big to hillary.

You are correct that PA politics are corrupt.

However, at lunch with 4 pubbie friends yesterday, I told them that I'd switched parties and had become a demonRAT so that I could vote for osamaobama in the primary.

The four of them headed to the courthouse to do the same.

We don't know if it will make a difference, but if more pubbies do the same, we may be able to help osamaobama win or at least keep it close.

Nothing will be finer than to see osamaobama win the most {voted for} delegates and then have the bitch steal it in the smoke filled backroom.

The 1968 riots will look like a Sunday school picnic.

Hillary might do well in those states. They have big, but not overwhelming, black populations. Philadelphia and Cleveland have huge black populations but Pittsburgh has a relatively small black population for a major city. It think Cincinatti and Columbus are less black than a lot of major cities as well. There are a lot of white union members in both states. And I think Pennsylvania has one of the largest elderly populations per capita in the nation. That’s mostly good news for Hillary, but if an Obama bandwagon starts to build, who knows?

It's a very emotional thing. People who have been waiting for years to vote for a woman or a black find themselves conflicted having to make a choice between the two at one time.

Frank admission, though surely no surprise, is still a sad reflection on reality. Waiting to vote for a woman or a black. Not qualified. Not one who truly thinks as you do. Woman or black. Sickening.

If Obama wins in PA, I don’t think Hillary will be able to steal the nomination at the convention. Hillary needs to win TX, OH and PA to keep the delegate count close *and then* steal it at the convention with the superdelegates. So if you and your friends are going to vote in the RAT primary, you should hold your nose and vote for Hillary (instead of holding your nose and voting for Obama) so as to prevent Obama from having so large a delegate lead that the Denver convention would be an Obama coronation instead of a warzone.

See, as with the popular Oprah, race trumps gender! HRC did not know that until this campaign.

This is my first time voting as a RAT. I'll have to be semi-stoned to vote for osamaobama, if I get drunk enough to vote for the bitch, they won't let me in the polling station.

I'd have to cut off my hand to vote for the mother of satan.

I just noticed that you are from Pa.

Where are you located? My Pa. home is near Valley Forge.

Mr. Lewis better start saving his receipts. He’s going to need them when Hillary Clinton’s IRS audits him in 2009...

I have no first hand experience with Ohio.

Depends on which part of Ohio. Northern OH may as well be in Cuba.

Obama having Jesse Jackson Jr, reminding them of that fact helped a lot to.

But for these liberals, race trumps gender. Isn’t that right, Oprah?
