1. Rendell endorsed Obama.
And is instrumental in getting Clinton out of the way.

Clinton Supporter Predicts She'll Concede Soon

Day to Day, June 4, 2008 · Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell says he expects that Hillary Clinton will concede defeat in the race to the White House by the week's end. Rendell, one of the New York senator's strongest supporters, says there is no chance she will keep fighting to wrest the Democratic nomination from her rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

"You'll see this come to a sort of definitive conclusion in the very near future," Rendell tells Madeline Brand.

The Democratic governor also predicts Clinton will announce her support for Obama "with all of her heart and all of her energies."

Obama secured enough delegate votes in Tuesday's primaries in South Dakota and Montana to clinch the Democratic nomination for president. But Clinton has not yet conceded, Rendell says, because she wanted to digest the primary results and spend one more night with her supporters. However, he says he does not have any inside information from the Clinton campaign and is simply giving his "gut reaction."

Ed Rendell, one of Clinton's most vocal surrogates, shot down this very idea in an interview Wednesday with NY1 News.

Rendell reminded Clinton and her supporters that the choice for vice president belongs solely to Obama. "He has to make the choice, and it's his choice to make," said Rendell. "You don't bargain with the Presidential nominee. Even if you're Hillary Clinton and you have 18 million votes, you don't bargain."

Last week, Rendell seemed optimistic that Clinton would get the V.P. nod. By Wednesday, the Governor had changed his tune, fearing that Clinton could overshadow Obama.

"The rule for the vice president is make sure you never upstage the president," said Rendell. "It's rule one. You know, Hillary Clinton in some ways couldn't help but upstage, even if she was trying not to."

Rendell also thinks that former President Bill Clinton could greatly complicate matters if his wife was the vice presidential nominee.

5. Rendell is a team player; C. Brown's district voted for Obama
They will be on board, if they aren't already.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz may need to cool off for a week or two, but she will come around.

8. I think they gave up on Ferraro....

...and just decided to leave her bound and gagged in the basement of the Capital building.

Once the indictment gets enforced, she'll be forced to wash Karl Rove's underwear until his congressional trial is over.

(Yes, harsh. Of all the people in this campaign, she is the one I respect least. I hope nobody ever forgets how she tried to split the party during her Fox News rants.)
