WASHINGTON - Democratic Rep. John Murtha said Wednesday his home base of western Pennsylvania is racist and that could reduce Barack Obama's victory margin in the state by 4 percentage points. ADVERTISEMENT The 17-term Democratic congressman told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in a story posted Wednesday on its Web site: "There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area." Murtha said it has taken time for many Pennsylvania voters to come around to embracing a black presidential candidate, but that Obama should still win the state, though not in a runaway. In a separate interview posted Wednesday on the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Web site, Murtha said Obama has a problem with voters' racial attitudes in western Pennsylvania that could trim his winning margin on Nov. 4. The working-class region is a key battleground in Pennsylvania. The area is struggling economically, and has a high percentage of veterans and elderly voters. Murtha's district outside Pittsburgh encompasses Johnstown and many small towns once dominated by steel and coal. In a statement issued later Wednesday, Murtha spokesman Matt Mazonkey told The Associated Press: "It's naive to think that race or gender doesn't play a role in a voter's perception of a candidate. Mr. Murtha makes the point that while race may be an issue for some, it's evident that voters today are concerned about the issues that truly matter — issues like the economy, health care, and energy independence." Murtha, who backed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the state's April primary, told the Post-Gazette that the older population has been "more hesitant" to support Obama. But in the past three months, he said groups he deals with regularly, such as veterans and senior citizens, have decided to back Obama. Murtha said Republican John McCain has been stymied by the economy and the attacks on Obama's character. "I think Obama is going to win, but I don't think it's going to be a runaway," Murtha said. He told the Tribune-Review, however, that he sees no enthusiasm for either candidate in his district. "The public is confused, they're despondent, they're unhappy. They want to see a change and I think the change is whatever the individual might believe it is," he said. The most recent Quinnipiac University poll showed Obama with a double-digit lead after surveys a few weeks ago indicated the race was close. Quinnipiac pollster Clay Richards has said growing support among working-class voters in the state were behind the change. In February, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell — another Clinton backer — told the Post-Gazette's editorial board that some whites in the state were likely to vote against Obama in the primary because of his race. Clinton easily won that contest. ___
Poster Comment: I couldn't agree more, and I couldn't be happier. Any state that hold as citizens both myself and Cyni must be racist.

Finally someone pegs me for what I really am. I am not ashamed to say I prefer my own race. I notice Murtha as a white guilter says NOTHING about blacks in Pa. that prefer their own race??? I wonder why that is?
Jethro... Does that mean that Eastern Pa. is NOT racist???? I want to make sure.
WG'ers are damaged. Either they aren't capable of flipping the equation as you mentioned, or they're intentionally trying to inflame racial tensions. In either case, their ends are bringing the nation closer to the boiling point, which is fine with me.
No, Eastern PA is racist, as is Central PA. As a general rule of thumb, any white enclave is racist. Hope this helps.
True... And I think most people know what that boiling point is.
Racism is a good thing. We need more of it.
Freepers: hearts full of hate and cowardice, and skulls full, to quote a favorite saying of one of their favorite cowards, of mush.
Race will determine the election, regardless of who wins. If McKooK wins, hellfire and brimstone will rain down upon the white trash of Pa. Our cup of scorn will will overflow. If Obongo wins, the media will sing praises to the enlightened educated worldly people of Pa. Those of us that will not vote will not be mentioned.
Voluntary race separation is the natural order of species.

Holy crap! Now if only you could get Chrissy to move there the place would be a goddamned utopia!
Me an olde Jethro live back in the hills. We and the cuzins dont like furriners. AND, we do own a Bible or two and whole lot of guns, beeg ones, little ones, long ones and short ones, but we aint bitter. Even a big welfare check could not pry us outta the hills.
Actually it is not a good thing. If people could look past outward differences and see individuals for who they are, not for who they think they are based on their appearance, then the world would be a much better place to live in. God doesn't care what we look like, he cares about whether we love him or not.
God is always good!
She'll come if you come. Lots of cabins on prime land. I have ways to stay warm during harsh winters too.
Pigs could fly, too, if they had wings. And man is a social creature, not just a bunch of individuals. Far more dangerous is to try to ignore appearance (and speech, and body language) and treat strangers as brothers despite the information those things carry. That's a good way to end up as a statistic. God doesn't care what we look like, he cares about whether we love him or not. He doesn't care what you smell like, either, but whites still stink like rancid butter to Asians, and Asians have the fewest apocrine (odor-producing) sweat glands. If God loves whites (or blacks) why did he make them stink?
...Both methods yielded similar results, which support the previous findings; that is, of all modern human samples, sub-Saharan Africans again exhibit the closest phenetic similarity to various African Plio-Pleistocene hominins... Get out of here with that common sense!!!
Murtha. LOL

Expand please.

I have found Koreans have a strong odor when they sweat, and as for Africans, you get near them and they stink to high heaven. I've been told whites have an acrid odor to other races.

Ain't nothing like the hills. Throughout the world whites live in the hills and blacks live in the valley. All choose this voluntarily.

I'd estimate the race factor could screwer the polls at least 5% in Black Obama's favor. It could be enought to throw the race to McSwine; if so, black saints will more than likely riot in America's larger cities.
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, and a comedy to those who think.
Prediction from rural out of work America: Obama wins in a landslide.
You've obviously never seen any of the "Blacks on Blondes" videos, which make "Girls Gone Wild" look tame by comparison. It DOES seem, though, that white men voluntarily separate themselves from black women to a FAR GREATER extent than the inverse case.

In your case anyway, Murtha seems accurate.
Not even darkie prefers darkie drama queens. Darkie will screw anything if it's white; the girls are paid; the vids are made by Jews. And the actual number of unpaid, unforced matings is quite small. But there's still something to what you say, and from the point of view of female reproductive strategy, it makes sense, since the white man's such a pussy. The continuing presence of the alien signals to the female that the alien may have genes of use to her offspring. And darkie does have higher testosterone, after all.
