Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell was relaxing around his house last weekend when the phone rang. On the other end of the line was a pollster from the Quinnipiac University poll looking to get his opinions about the upcoming April 22nd Democratic presidential primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Rendell, a supporter and fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, was one of 1,340 likely Democratic voters polled in the state from April 3rd to the 6th.

Jackie Speier is heading back to Washington, but this time it will be as a Congresswoman Speier and not as a congressional aide. Speier, a Democrat from Burlingame, was an aide to former Rep.

A new poll released today by Quinnipiac University shows Hillary Clinton’s lead slipping in Pennsylvania - even among women. Clinton leads Barack Obama by 50% to 44% among likely primary voters.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, Maggie Williams, issued a statement on Sunday saying that Mark Penn was leaving the campaign in his role as chief strategist following a weekend of controversy that erupted after his meeting with the Colombian ambassador to talk about trade issues. In the two sentence statement, issued on the campaign’s web site, Williams said, “After the events of the last few days, Mark Penn has asked to give up his role as Chief Strategist of the Clinton Campaign; Mark, and Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. will continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign.”

In an appearance on Meet the Press on Sunday, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell was asked by Tim Russert if he thought the Clinton campaign should “fire Mark Penn?” Rendell’s responded, in what appeared to be a nervous smile on his face, “Well, there are a lot of issues in which you can raise that question.” He continued, “I think you’ve got to make it very clear, when you are someone who is a consultant, who you are representing and who you are not representing. And I would hope that Mr. Penn, when he talked to the Colombians, made that clear. It doesn’t sound like he did and that’s something the campaign should take into question.”
