Ed Rendell Soon to Be Not Governor of Pennsylvania is the Latest Hillary Surrogate to Pull Out the Race Card

@ 08:04 AM (4 months, 24 days ago)

THIS IS THE HILLARY STRATEGY IN RESPONSE TO BE REJECTED BY VOTERS?  APPARENTLY

NOW THE THE DUST FROM THE LAST RACE CARD PULLLED BY BILL CLINTON HAS SETTLED

IT'S TIME TO RUB IT IN THE PUBLIC'S FACES AGAIN.  SORRY BITCH, IT'S NONE GOING

TO WORK WITH ME.

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.

Why doesn't Ron Paul lash out at the Clintons about this?

I saw some of Osama on the morning news. He was saying ALL the right words wasnt he. With talk about how American society and social responsibilty 'FAILS" to correct problems with social ills. Now he's ahead in the delegate count and I see he is looking more unstoppable. Damn I hate to see AMERCANS PATRONIZING SOMEONE BECAUSE OF COLOR....BUT HE IS SAYING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS !

Rendell was the DNC chair before Dean. That speaks volumes. Rendell masterminded the Kerry loss.
