and..he just took Mississippi.
PA will be fun to watch. Fast Eddie Rendell, our Governor, is in full support of HRC but Pittsburgh and Philly have huge black populations. Fast Eddie made the statement that PA is not ready to elect a black President. He's using the fact that Lynn Swann didn't take the Governorship away from him..much to the pity. He is a corrupt, mafia-like Governor and he will pull out all the stops for HRC, but I'm not so sure they will be enough to counter Obama's Hope and Change message, even though it is just another empty Democrat promise. In 2004, 104% of the voters in Philly voted for John Kerry. That should give you some indication of the political games that are played here in this Democrat state. Was there a voter fraud challenge? Not even a hint.
Two years ago Pittsburgh was on the verge of bankruptcy. Fast Eddie came in with lots of State cash to save the city. Pittsburgh is no different than any other Democrat-run major city in that portions of it look like Baghdad just like Detroit, just like Chicago, just like NYC, just like LA, etc. It is a war zone with black on black crime, drugs, rapes and horrible things happening to children thru neglect rampant.
When Mayor O'Connor died of cancer, his temporary replacement was a 27 year old city council member who ran for his seat against a pretty good Republican. The Republican didn't stand a chance. They all voted for the Dem youngster who is now 28 and the youngest mayor of a major city in the country. I believe the blacks in Pittsburgh will vote overwhelmingly for Obama because of his race and because he is a Dem, not necessarily in that order but both at nearly equal in importance. Apparently, watching the people of Pittsburgh vote for the mayor is good evidence that they will not vote for any R no matter what the message is.
I do not understand how the blacks can continue to vote for the people who have promised them the moon for decades yet not fulfilled their promises. Now, the hispanics are the new Dem poster child and the blacks are pushed again to the back of the bus in priority. When will they ever wake up?
The results of PA's primary will definitely be interesting.
