Some whites `not ready' to support black presidential candidate

Rendell: Some whites `not ready' to support black presidential candidate

The Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Gov. Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton's most visible supporters, said some white Pennsylvanians are likely to vote against her rival Barack Obama because he is black.

"You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate," Rendell told the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in remarks that appeared in Tuesday's paper.

To buttress his point, Rendell cited his 2006 re-election campaign, in which he defeated Republican challenger Lynn Swann, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star, by a margin of more than 60 percent to less than 40 percent.

"I believe, looking at the returns in my election, that had Lynn Swann been the identical candidate that he was , well-spoken, charismatic, good-looking , but white instead of black, instead of winning by 22 points, I would have won by 17 or so," he said. "And that (attitude) exists. But on the other hand, that is counterbalanced by Obama's ability to bring new voters into the electoral pool."

Rendell, chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 2000 and previously Philadelphia's mayor, endorsed Clinton on Jan. 23.

Pennsylvania holds its primary April 22.

Several figures in Clinton's campaign, including her husband, the former president, have been criticized in recent weeks for raising Obama's race. In response, Bill Clinton has said he will stick to promoting his wife, rather than defending her.

As Rendell's comments made national news Tuesday, his spokesman said the governor did not mean to offend anyone.

"He was simply making an observation about the unfortunate nature of some parts of American society," said the spokesman, Chuck Ardo. "He wasn't being critical, he wasn't making accusations, but just being realistic."

So what is the Governor of Pennsylvania saying? Pennsylvanians are racist and thats why he is choosing to endorse Clinton over Obama?

No, he is saying Pennsylvania Democrats are racists, since that is the race they're in right now. What a cocksmoking moron.

That's a shame. And to think when he got all those speeding tickets a couple years back I let him go with a warning.

It's been said that our state is Philly and Pittsburgh, with Arkansas in between. Ed needs to get out of hillbilly Harrisburg more often.

are you saying you disagree with this? I don't think a 2.5 percent swing of voters based on race is unrealistic, just going of intuition.

Well said. Surely all the racist's are voting in the Republican primary and aren't in a moral quandary like the one facing those Democratic voters.

No, I am quite confident of the existence of what is often called the Bradley Effect. What I am also quite confident of is that this idiot should have kept his fucking piehole shut if he wanted to help Hillary. It DOES NOT help the pig when someone who supports her comes out and says that "No nigger gonna win no 'lection in mah state"

It's not particularly expedient. Which is unfortunate.
