Clinton Starts Focusing on Pennsylvania

Posted by Ryan Corsaro
(CBS)
From CBS News' Ryan Corsaro:

WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton will receive the endorsement of Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl at a rally today, according to a campaign source.

Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato will also be on hand to lend his support to Clinton.

Clinton makes two stops today in Pittsburgh where she's expected to address the continued rise in gas prices and to react to President Bush's economic speech.

Pennsylvania's April 22 primary will be a difficult fight between Clinton and Barack Obama, which Clinton supporter Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., noted.

“There’s no question. Hillary Clinton is a better fit for those counties, is a better fit for southwest Pennsylvania. But I think either one of them is going to carry the state in the fall,” said Rendell today on MSNBC.

Rendell's comments come the day after Clinton campaign strategist Mark Penn told reporters: "If Barack Obama can’t win there, how can he win the general election?”

Both Clinton and Obama agreed yesterday to a nationally-televised debate in Pennsylvania before the April primary.

St. Patrick's Day parades are in store for Clinton this weekend -- she'll double-up Saturday with festivities in Pittsburgh and Scranton.

Those of us with sound minds need to continue writing and calling the DNC Chairman Howard Dean and all the media outlets to get them to pressure Obama to quit his campaign, because he is not going to do it on his own unless he''s under tremendous political and personal pressure to do so. People with sounds minds, please do not send anymore financial support to Obama''s campaign, attend his rallies, or vote for him anymore throughout the rest of these primaries, a clear and strong message needs to be sent to everyone that American''s, who are in their right frame of mind will not in any way tolerate a candidate who has sat under a racist and bigoted Pastor''s teaching for over 20yrs, and did not get up and leave the church or dis-banded his relationship with that pastor in all capacities.

I see us Americans who are in their right frame of minds, need to think and make decisions for those who are not, due to being sting by the Obama bee. We must now strongly cry out loud and spare not, in order to help the media and the DNC do its job and the thing right in order to save our party and America, by having Obama to quit this campaign and go back to Chicago Ill with his friend Oprah Winfery.

By the way, I would like to find out whether Oprah attended this church off and on through the years as well? this will also help explain why Oprah all of a sudden come out and endorse this man because he was black, and Oprah may also be one or a former Pastor J. Wright Church Member.

This also is how Jim Jones of the Jonestown Massacre was able to get his followers to drink tainted kool-aid that eventually lead to their deaths by the thousands. Obama seem to have some kind of satanic mind control over his followers, because these people are still willing to vote Obama by the droves no matter what his twisted beliefs are.

Obama should be a past presence in the campaign, but instead he''s still winning? Obama does not have a campaign this is more an occult, people who are a member of an occult can''t seem to break a way from it''s leader, because the leader have some kind of satanic hold on their minds, where they could not disband from them even if they wanted to, this reminds me of the Obama campaign, his followers are so mesmerized and hypnotized by this mans speeches that they can no longer make sound, rationale, informed judgments, or decisions whether their leader are right or wrong in his or her thinking processes, this is very scary to me.

Hillary was against NAFTA all along, her husband was the one that thought it would be helpful Americans. She''s always said trade was the difference between her and her husband.

Obama needs to be sat down, by guilt by association with a pastor racist and bigot who been his mentor for over 20yrs, All brainwashed Obamanites, who still support a man no matter what he''s been involved in really scares me.

As An African American male, I denounce Obama, and people must show him the door before he loses this election for the Democratic Party, Obama has no chance of winning against McCain now, Obama is tainted, and non-electable, who in their right mind would vote for a man that his sat under a known racist for over 20yrs and not take on some of his teachings? Hillary is our only chance to win now.

We have heard a number of clergy using extremely provocative statements in the news. Especially from the so called religious right. If you really want some info on paster Wright and Obama''s church you can go to his website and click on blog. You will see that the new paster will be a white female. I think the Clintons did have support of many blacks before she allowed her campaign to strategically exploit racial bias, why would somebody support her after that? I am a white middle aged female and I''m sure that, just like I do, many black people support a candidate because of who they think will do the best job for America and the people. Please don''t assume that they are all voting for race, just as every woman who is voting for Hillary isn''t neccesarily doing it because of her gender.
I know there are some negatives for Obama, but it sure isn''t like Clinton is pure. I think he has the most positives going for him. (no matter how over anxious people get over pastor Wright). Please don''t flatter yourself to think that anybody who doesn''t think like you do and support the same candidate that you do is brainwashed. Thank You.
I am supporting no drama Obama!

Pennsylvanians,

Please do not forget, how your jobs vanished through NAFTA and China''s WTO entrance.

Both of these were Clinton White House initiatives.

I recommend that the mature voters lead teach and guide the younger voters in a different direction from Obama, because they have tremendously been brained washed by Obama''s occult like speeches, it''s going to be hard to get them to accept that Obama is not good for America, but if the older voters stick together and really mentor our young people, they will begin to fall away from Obama''s campaign and grip hold on their young minds one by one, some of these young people really don''t know the election process, and many have voted for the first time in their lives, Obama''s campaign rallies to them where like going to a late night rock concert, they begin to follow Obama like he was a popular rock or Rap star, so many of our young people''s minds has to be purged and reconditioned away from Obama''s compelling grip, it''s like being on a ill-legal drug and have to go through drug detoxicifican in order to come down off it, this is how far some of our young people his been deceived and brain washed by the Obama campaign.

I''m an Black American Male who believes that I believe now that the truth has finally came out will still come out about Obama''s past, America is going to be even more shocked, so people put your seat belts on and fasten them tight, because a steep roller coaster of Obama life is going to be revealed before you even faster, now that the news media his finally got some guts to start sharing with America all of Obama''s deep dark secrets that he thought would never come up and out, before he was mistakenly nominated for Presidency.

I was at the Clinton rally, and I agreed with everything that she said. She has a lot of experience and she really does know what she''s talking about.
