I'm sure you're right Ed

According to Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania,the reason Obama may not do well against Hillary (whom Rendell supports) in Pennsylvania is 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," he said bluntly.

If this is the way the Democrats are going to go about their primary—thinking only of race and gender—what does it say for the ideas they have—or have not. Are we going to see race or gender become the major platform of the Democrats in the general election?

Remember, Rendell once held the position of the head of the DNC. This politics of gender and race and identity in general runs rampant in the Democratic Party.

You know, the PA primary is not until April 22 and by that time, Mr. Rendell’s candidate of choice may be on her way back to the Senate. If she lingers on to fight for the seating of Florida and Michigan delegates at the convention and attempts to sway super delegates in some unforeseen way, she just might be able to sit in the senate for the remainder of her current term.

In any case, it will be interesting to see what happens to either of the left-wing, socialist, defeatists when the November election comes around. As I’ve said before, they will have to start talking particulars and not just “change, change, hope, hope.” When the ideas they have espoused (and the cost of those ideas) become well circulated—and even the MSM will not be able to hide them—I think either one will get their butt handed to them.
