PA guv: Whitey won’t vote for Obama

I didn’t go out on a limb with this prediction about a ready-made excuse for an Obama loss back in December, now did I?  From the AP:

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. 

Rendell won a Democrat state in a year when Dems swept into power, but it was because Republican Lynn Swann was black?  Whatever, dude.

Here’s what I don’t get: Rendell supports the Hildebeast, ergo he presumably wants her to win.  If she loses, he’s pissed.  If she wins, then she wins because she’s not black…which would make him pissed.  Either way, he’s going to be madder than Dan Rather with a 1970′s Texas memo.

If he’s in Her Highness’ camp, why is he challenging Pennsylvanians to look past race, which would benefit Hilldawg’s primary opponent and thus hurt her?  Because he’s a dumb#ss?
