Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said Wednesday he is backing Hillary Clinton for president, a key endorsement in a delegate-rich state that could be critical if the race remains unresovled after Super Tuesday.

Rendell said he likes Clinton's health care plans and thinks she has developed well as a senator. The governor was in Carlisle to attend a law school building groundbreaking.

A formal announcement was planned for an afternoon event in Philadelphia with Mayor Michael Nutter, who earlier had endorsed the New York senator.

Pennsylvania's primary is April 22.

1. Ugh. I love that we have a democratic governor, I just wish we had a better one...

She endorsed him when he was up for re-election last, so that may have something to do with it...No offense to any Hillary supporters meant by that

3. No offence taken.

2. Thanks onehandle...It's nice to see a grown-up around here.

Posting something positive for someone for a change. I especially appreciate it since you are an Edwards supporter...very nice of you.

5. Ed Rendell was pushing for Gore to give up the recount in Florida in 2000.

Thanks for nothing, Ed.

6. Big deal. This was expected. He is part of the Clinton years.

Oh, and during the mid-term elections in PA it was well known that he is expecting to get a cabinet post for his endorsement and support of Senator Clinton. He is free to endorse whomever he wants, but as a PA resident I can ignore it and vote for someone who will actually change the politics in Washington and erase the black mark left on our party from the Clinton years.

7. He wants a cabinet position, that's all.

I like big Ed, but he does look after number one first.

HARRISBURG -- Gov. Ed Rendell assailed two Republican congressmen for trying to block the state's plans to place tolls on Interstate 80, saying their actions leave him no choice but to revive his unpopular plan to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike to a private operator.

I think Hillary is in a great position to win the primaries.

13. Of course he likes her health care "plan"

The rest of us fucking saps pay for HIS health care, so he doesn't really have to give a shit one way or another.
