Gov. Ed Rendell, tell’s Hillary, some white Pennsylvanians to vote against Obama because he is black

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Gov. Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s strongest 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 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He cited his 2006 re-election defeat of Republican Lynn Swann, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star, by more than 60 percent.
