Kennedy was killed because he stepped on way too many toes. Obama, while charismatic to be sure, is as establishment as the day is long. And unlike Hillary, he doesn’t have the built in unlikeability that would turn most people off. He could get on TV, tell us about how he’s banning firearms, legalizing homo marriage, and enacting a North American Union and still a relative majority would love him. Bill Clinton was the same way. If they weren’t in politics, they’d be selling used cars or hosting game shows.
Rendell is mistaken, PA did elect a black president, BJ Clinton..
