Fast Eddie at it again
Gov. Edward G. Rendell of Pennsylvania, another supporter of Mrs. Clinton, called Mr. Leahy’s remarks outrageous.

“Just flip it for a second,” Mr. Rendell said. “Let’s say Senator Clinton was ahead by about 110 delegates and ahead by less than 1 percent of the vote cast, and she and her supporters started to call on Senator Obama to get out. Just picture what the media would be saying. They’d be saying you’re being racist, you’re being everything in the world. It’s nuts! It’s nuts!”

Clearly that would be the first thing his supporters would say. Clearly.

1. Well, first he is up by about 120 pledged delegates, and the Clintons would have forced him out
long ago if they could have. They wanted this all to end on Feb 5th.

This is right up there with ducking sniper fire as far as the honesty meter is concerned

2. Mr.Leahy's remarks
were more of the same from just another Obama supporter. Doesn't matter. Hillary Clinton will stay in the race, as she should. Let ALL the votes be counted, including FL and MI; and then we would see who has the popular vote. Guess the Obama supporters don't want the rest of states to vote, disenfranchising yet more states.

4. Pledged delegates can
"change" too. . . How is Hillary Clinton "stealing" elected, pledged delegates? That's a real stretch, even for an Obama supporter.

6. If it were flipped. Obama would've been forced out after losing 11 straight.
C'mon Eddie, you know this. Clinton is lucky she isn't marginalized like Huckabee was.

7. There's that fuzzy math again...
Obama is ahead by 167 pledged delegates, and after tomorrow, that lead will increase. The Tex convention is tomorrow, and Obama is expected to Officially win Texas, with more delegates than originally predicted, due to irregularities.

1 percent sounds small, and it's another way to deceive. 700,000 + votes, puts it in better perspective.

I really don't appreciate him bringing up the race issue again either, he should be chastised.

8. Only Obama and his surrogates should be allowed to do that.
Bull.

Rendall speaks the truth. That is all that has been going on through this whole primary season.
