Rendell Makes Out Of Line Remark

By Big Tent Democrat

By Big Tent Democrat

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell is a Hillary Clinton supporter. He apparently said this:

"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."

Is this true? Undoubtedly. Should Rendell have said it. Undoubtedly not. He is the Governor of Pennsylvania and a prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton. He does not get to say this. It is inflammatory.

Update [2008-2-12 14:39:11 by Big Tent Democrat]: The Pittsburgh columnist, Tony Norman, who reported this seems to have some sexism/Clinton problems:

Mr. Shuster deserves criticism for the ugly verb he used to describe the Clinton camp's creepy politicization of the 27-year-old former first daughter, but he doesn't deserve to be fired for it.

Tony Norman needs to be rebuked for his creepy sexism.
