Is Ed Rendell Plotting Against Barack Obama?

I hold in my hand proof that Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell wants Barack Obama to lose the presidential election this November.

What do I have? I have a July 31 press release announcing that Rendell has established a “Chief Diversity Officer” for the Keystone State backed up by the legal force of the state government.

Rendell’s action is great news, of course, for the leftist-multiculturalist cause of “diversity.” But Rendell’s action is also an early warning indicator: It’s a signal to non-leftists, in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, of what an even greater emphasis on “diversity” might look like. That is to say, Rendell’s action in Pennsylvania is a preview of what could happen next in Barack Obama’s America. And that realization could be enough to put the 21 electoral votes of normally “blue” Pennsylvania in play.

Whoa there, Pinkerton, you might be saying. Rendell is a Democrat, and Democrats, as a party, are the leading proponents of “diversity”—also known as affirmative action, racial preferences, and, most bluntly of all, quotas. Moreover, Rendell, who strongly supported Hillary Rodham Clinton in the recent Democratic primary campaign, might simply be trying to get in good with Obama by “getting with the program,” diversity-wise.

So by that reckoning, it makes perfect sense for Rendell to name a “Diversity Czar,” Trent Hargrove, who would solemnly declared, “We will prepare a strategic plan that will make Pennsylvania a national leader in diversity management.” No doubt the progressives of Philadelphia—not to mention Washington D.C. and San Francisco—will love such brave talk about “diversity management,” but how will that sort of lefty boilerplate play in Allentown? In Aliquippa? In Altoona? Not well.

I accidentally came up with an alternative name for affirmative action; affirmative advantage, since it affirmatively gives an advantage to special groups.

Who knows. Maybe Fast Eddie, and the mayor of Philadelphia, both Clinton loyalists, will not run the Philadelphia vote fraud machine this election season for Obama.

I’m sure the Clintons had stuff on Obama that they couldn’t use due to the risk of a backlash. Over the next couple of months we will get to see it all come out. Naturally the drive by media will blame the republican side, but the Clintons will be behind it. I expect the Clinton slime machine to be working overtime from behind the scenes. They will certainly have an October surprise waiting for Obama.
