Philly Blunt: PA Gov. Says Some Keystone Staters Won't Vote for a Black Man

You people need t grow up. Obama is no Bush with a tan. He is well versed in foreign policy, economics and con law, given that he used to teach at University of Chicago,which is ranked the third best law school in the nation.
Before Bush became governor, every business venture ran down to the ground.
He always had to rely on daddy to get by. Any democrat is better than that fool in the White House.

At least the governor is willing to air out his racism, wearing it on his sleeve, and all. Don't look at any credibility factors, just look at their skini color, then cast your vote.

I repented of what I said about not voting......but I still think Hillary is the qualified one...........Let Obama
run at another time. I think the Media is very out spoken about who they want to be President and I think this is wrong.........The only one who is good about not saying biased things is good old Charlie................

One wonders if this be the personal criteria the good Governor used to endorse Hillary? Ugh.

The Clintons don't know the meaning of ethics-- a very essential ingredient to leadership. Iowa didn't count (that had to hurt for all those hard working Clinton volunteers), SC was only about race (so why all the southern white Obama supporters) and caucasses don't accurately reflect a nation. She is the dancing queen of denial --

Both Clinton and OBAMA represent DEMOCRAT. So we just want someone who can get the job done. Both of them are capable to lead this country in the right direction. I am just interested for DEMOCRAT to win the general election in November.I think is very tupid indeed to hear from people that BARACK OBAMA is inexperience.It doesn't make any sense at all. He has been working as a community organizer, taught at the university and he is in the senate almost four years now. OBAMA '08 .

Rendell was NOT real popular in Pennsylvaina before this and wins elections by getting huge margins in Philly, his home base. He is up for re-election in 06, doesn't look like he will be around much longer.

The funny thing is he doesn't get a lot of the "conservatives whites" he knows so much about and now he has aleinated his liberal white and minority base. For someone who claims to know so much about demographics, he looks like an idiot.

I guess the media is looking forward to focussing on a northern state who's Govenor can express these racial feelings and endorse Hillary Clintons campaign at the same time. We need to put the Govenor, the Confederate Flag and Hillary in a museum exibit called the past. After reading this Democratic Govenor's remarks, I'm very proud of the progress the south has made.

It would be a great devastation to the United States if Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination. Will America ever learn their lesson? Why do we continue to elect people with absolutly no experience or direction for our country. Of course our country needs change, anyone who has lived in this country at all for the past eight years knows this but we need to elect someone who knows how to go about making change. Barack Obama has little to no experience when it comes to foreign policy and working with the leaders of struggling nations around the world. How about boosting our economy or improving our nations schools? Hillary Clinton has already served in the White House during one of the most successful presidencies that our nation has ever had the privlage of experiencing. C'mon America...isn't she the obvious choice??

The time is now and the Govenor is going to be taken to school like the rest of America's past, he will learn the true meaning of turning the page and he might even find himself on the wrong side of it. Like America, his state has an opportunity for change too. America is falling in love, stop playing hard to get, this is not about division, it's about addition.

There is absolutely nothing-- NOTHING-- in what Rendell said that is racist. He made an observation that in his opinion about 5% (that is, 22%-17%) of the electorate in Pennsylvania has racist tendencies, That's all he said. How is that racist? It is his opinion about how many people vote with a racist mindset. He is not supporting them, he is just saying they exist. Does anyone deny they exist? Would it be better to pretend they don't exist? I thought we are supposed to talk about these things to get it out in the open.
I will vote for Obama if he wins. I will vote for Clinton if she wins. So should anyone who wants to improve the lives of middle class and poor people, black and white.

I don't mind voting for an Afro-American, but can't you guys do any better than delivering Barack Hussein Obama? Please tell me you've got better guys than that in your community.

A fake MLK trying to do a JFK might impress spoiled college kids, but do you seriously believe blue-collar workers in Ohio and Texas are stupid enough to believe in someone who doesn't care about the details of foreign direct investments or foreign policy?

People have the right to know the fine print here, but all they hear is "Change" and "Hope". That won't pay the bills.

Lynn Swann? Ed Rendell? Who knows? Maybe if each had been taller, shorter, heavier, thinner, younger, older, more hair, shorter hair, longer hair, wider-set eyes, different last name, different first name, different wife, different kids, different house - how on earth does anyone know how many points each of those might have changed? And who cares?

From what I've seen, the more Clinton supporters talk, the more damage they do their own candidate. So let us all be perfectly quiet now....

Racism isn't the issue here, because Barack Obama is nothing but a glorified George W Bush with a tan, a speechwriter and a motivational course. That's all.

Man, you Obamajugend will be so disappointed when the cult collapses.

Let's hope Dr. Phil steps in and makes a show about it so you can restore your sense of self-respect when this ride is over. Maybe Oprah could participate too?

>>Then what's the matter with our white people that they did not vote for their own.

Please tell us, what is the matter with you?

Let me go on record to say that Obama won at least 95% if not 100% of the black vote which means they did not vote for Hillary. Then what's the matter with our white people that they did not vote for their own. It too states like NY, NJ, and CA plus AR, AZ and Tenn to do the job. Texas will vote for Hillary but PA and Ohio should do the same as NY and vote Hillary also. I agree with the governor and hope he is absolutely correct.

PD: Don't pity the governor pity America if Obama is elected. If you think this country is in a mess you haven't seen anything yet. America would be in the worst disaster in history. Electing a president that's lucky he can count 2 and 2 equals 4. That's the trouble with this young generation they don't have the brains to sit on or a window to throw them out of. Get real and wake up. Obama may have went to college but it certainly didn't make him smart. He was interviewed on foreign policy and he answered every question wrong. I am with the governor. He made the right statement. Right is right and wrong is wrong and he is right. He knows his state better than you do and I am sure PA is going to listen to him. Hillary will win Texas and the large Latino vote. All she has to do then is capture Ohio and PA like she did Feb. 5th. Those were the states that Obama wanted to win but he won the tooth and nail states. Get a grip and face reality.

What a shame, Ed Rendell was elected mayor of Philadelphia on the backs of thousands of black voters. Yes of course some people might not vote for Obama because he is black the same way some men wont vote for Hillary because she is a woman but you dont hear Obama supporters making that a reason for men to vote for him. Its a sad day in America when a sitting Governor talks this way. So sad indeed.

If people don't like what the governor of Pennsylvania said that's too bad. The truth is the truth and some people don't like to hear the truth they like to hear lies better. I hope the governor is right because I am with him all the way. I believe that you should say what you feel regardless of the fact. I am voting for Hillary for the same reason the governor endorsed her. I do not want Obama in the white house. This is not the time for him and this young generation is dumber than dumb because they can't read thru him. How did they ever go to college. I can read him like a book without the cover. He is very cunning in his speeches and tries to act like MLK but MLK was educated compared to Obama. Obama wants to be president because he wants to show that a black man can win. He doesn't know on thing about foreign policy or issues. Why do you think he made that slogan Yes We Can? He means we can elect a black president. He is not interested in the job that comes second and I can see a big disaster in America if he is elected.

white male in PA voting for obama... not that I hate hillary, but i think most democrats, and even lots of repubs that i talk to, have had it with the war party and are really ready for a change...

All along I thought that people are people: prejudiced, racist and scared to death to bring about a revolutionary change. And I thought that most white people in America are not different than their counterparts elsewhere. Today, I have a feeling that I could be wrong. The overwhelming support that the young white voters gave to Obama only means that this generation has learnt the hard way that racial hatred will not going to work for the benifit of the country in the long run. I salute this generation for the courage they are showing and believe me, the whole world will stand up in applause for them. The only thing I have for the Penn governor is PITTY. After all he probably learnt from family folks as a growing child about the mythical white supremacy. I could have forgiven him if he were just a common man like me. But NO, being the head of a state, he statement definitely warrants an apology especially if he really wants his frieng Hillary to be in the race.
