Wait for it - 100 Pennsylvania Mayors Endorse Hillary today
Thats a lot of backing.

100 Keystone State Mayors Endorse

Harrisburg, PA - Showing strength and momentum in the Keystone State, the Clinton campaign today announced 100 mayors who are endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. Following Senator Obama’s remarks dismissing small town America, mayors joined supporters today in Harrisburg to declare their support for Hillary because of her readiness to lead on day one, her plans to jumpstart the economy, and her Pennsylvania roots and commitment to Pennsylvania values.

"I am proud to have such strong support from 100 of Pennsylvania’s finest mayors," Senator Clinton said. "From small towns to big cities, these mayors work hard every day to improve the lives of the people they serve and they know they need a strong partner in Washington to help them bring affordable health care and revitalize their local economies."

The 100 mayors endorsing Hillary today will work in the final week of the campaign to get out Hillary’s message of change for Pennsylvania and the country. Hillary understands the economic pressures of families who have lost jobs, face foreclosures, and can’t afford health insurance or college tuition. She understands what it’s like to roll up your sleeve and work hard. As president, Hillary will fight for the issues that matter to all Americans starting on day one in the White House.

They had better things to do, like go watch Obama speak.

11. Doesn't matter. She planned an event with the title "100 mayors" in it...
...and less than 20% showed up.

I'd call that "slap in the face."

I hope she's not too bitter about it.

Had 100 mayors actually endorsed her, then that might be news.

You see that the photo-op is 19 mayors full.

We see the same photo-op as 81 mayors empty.

22. 1 out of every 154 mayors in PA goes on record for Hillary
That is, if you had the list of mayors in PA and called them all, every 154th call would net you a "sure, I'll be there for a photo op!". Something like .49% support!

15. At this point, it seems like a lot of Hillary's 'endorsements'...
are more the result of a certain amount of pressure being put on the endorsers than they are the result of any real enthusiasm for her candidacy. See for instance Bill Burga of the AFL-CIO, who is a Democrattic superdelegate from Ohio, who, after endorsing Hillary, declined to give a press statement and said 'I'd really rather not say anything about this. Can we not talk about it?'

24. And the Clinton lies continue
"Following Senator Obama’s remarks dismissing small town America ..."

Of course, he said no such thing -- he was explaining how politicians like old Hill and KKKarl Rove use wedge issues to influence some people to vote against their own economic self-interests.
