Good point. I guess I’d consider myself a paleocon/libertarian, but big L Libertarians are basically just paranoid liberals at the end of the day. I wonder how well Ron Paul would’ve done here if his campaign wasn’t run by morons.

Racism here is played very close to the vest.

The racists here are tough to spot. But there are many more than one might ever guess.

“You would actually leave the greatest country on earth because of some politicians?”

If it became something like Communist, or full of more
idiots then it already has, sure I would.
It would then no longer be the greatest country on earth,
would it now?
I don’t have that many years left. I can be just as happy on an island, or most anywhere that is moron free.

“Bye. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.”

I think you better worry more about your own ass. Bye bye.

But I don't know one white voter in the Pittsburgh area who will vote for a black candidate

That is probably tue, but only around the Pittsburgh area where you have to drive through scary parts of town to get to the nice parts, and the scary parts are all "black".

How did Nutter get elected mayor of Philadelphia, hmmm?

Rendell is just trying to stir the pot for Hillary.

Thomas Sowell for President.
Walter Williams for Vice-President.
Or visa-versa.

If you look by county at how Obama did in Virginia, you will find some counties where over 85% (of democrats)voted for Hillary.

Methinks there are a lot of Americans who will flock to McCain. Some because he is white and some because he is less liberal than Obama.

4 months back, I mentioned that the dems were making a big mistake with Obama. I said that most everyday white guys that were swing voters in western pa would never vote for Obama in the end. Old bill cosby needs to run; they’d vote for someone they know won’t become a race baiter like Jesse, marion berry, sharpton, ect.

If Bobby Jindal can get elected in a southern state where no non-white ever won a state wide office, it is entirely probable for B.H. Obama to win nationally. Not that it should matter but Jindal is as dark complexioned as Obama.

How many will for the Big O just because he’s black?

I bet it’s more than those who won’t because he’s (half) black.

The “blue cities” will go for Obama but not the ‘burbs. Very close, but Hilary’s first big win. Too late to do her any good.

Obama does well with educated suburban white Democrats like those in the Phila. and Pitts. suburbs who keep electing Specter Senator. I think they'll pull the lever for Obama.

As for the rest of the state, most of it is conservative and GOP anyhow, so won't factor into the Democrat race too much.

It was James Carville who said PA is 'Alabama in the middle.'

And it doesn't matter (here in PA) how our 'Alabama' votes...the big machines in Philly and the Burgh are controlled by the Dem party. Period. Fast Eddie (racially divisive statements notwithstanding) is a FOB (friend of Billary). Eddie WILL NOT let PA slip away from the Clintons. Ed has bigger plans than Harrisburg, and another 'Clinton Whitehouse' helps him make the leap to DC. No...PA will go Clinton.
