Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell has repeated what Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama has noted on occasion. TPM Election Central reports that Rendell said, in a meeting with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s editorial board:
“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.”
Seems to me there's only one answer: Barack must release his inner Irishman sooner rather than later. With a nod to the Black-Irish side of our own Sunshine family, we're ready for O'Bama, and we bet even the most "conservative whites" will be, too, if they take time to listen and refuse to be taken-in by the cynical political game of racial profiling. Unlike Rendell, I don't believe conservative white inherently means red neck.
