Hmmmm... Are "registered black voters" the same thing as "likely black voters?" Given the left's propensity for getting EVERYONE registered, I'm guessing "no."

This is the Ass. Press whistling past the graveyard in the dark. It's got to be embarrassing to be the propaganda arm of Dean's DNC. You have to write garbage like this and make it believable.

A Dem only getting 74 percent of the black vote means he is in trouble.

Not to mention Fast Eddie's propensity for voting fraud.
He makes old man Daley look like a
PIKER!
Trust me, a lot of people I know in the 'Burgh are voting for Swannie. Some of it is no doubt 'cuz he was a great
Steeler, but you hafta be macchiavellian about these things....

The piece doesn't mention "registered black voters" -- just "black voters" (451 of them, with a margin of error of 4.5 -- don't hardly see that margin of error admitted to!).
The bigger poll of "registered voters" shows Rendell ahead by 47%-37% (which sounds to me as if Swann is doing well, considering it's still early and he's running against an incumbent).
I hope some PA Freepers will chime in.

Looks like it's Philadelphia vs the rest of PA. The only real high-black area of the whole state is Philly. The next biggest city is Pittsburgh, which might be like 25% black compared to 50% or so in Philadelphia.
Mr. Swann, write off the welfare state that is Philadelphia -- they're gonna vote for sugar-daddy Rendell anyway. Concentrate on the real part of Pennsylvania.

It's the white voters who will make the difference anyway. JC Watts didn't win with black votes.

He doesn't need to win the black vote, but simply get enough black voters and he will be ok. I think he will get enough black support to beat Rendell.

Someday, I want some news organization to run this headline:
"NATION DISCOVERS THAT THERE ARE MORE WHITE PEOPLE THAN OTHER PEOPLE."

Rassmusen just had this race a 46-44 in favor of Swann. Not to worry. Polls in April don't count, only the one in November. It is just the sound of the msm whistling past the graveyard.

Exactly. 74 percent Dem-voting, among blacks, compares to 11 percent by GWB in 2000 and 2004. It's huge.

I haven't been following this race. Has Swan been talking about that dangerous "personal responsibility" or something?

I don't see anywhere that it says PENNSYLVANIA black voters but maybe I'm really looking for something vicious.

Amazingly enough, they missed the REALLY interesting part of this poll.
Non-Black Voters preferred Swann to Rendell by a margin of 49% to 34%!!!!!

No other poll has Rendell up ten. BS.

He's doing better than Republicans usually do among blacks - that's the real story. Instead it is spun into a negative.
To: dfwgator
What about occult racism?
Will the blacks who decide to vote outside the Democrat box be enough to offset the whites who answer nicely to the pollsters but draw back when in the voting booth, or don't make an effort to vote?

Don't believe a word of it. Black voters will listen to Swann and if they have a lick of sense, they'll like what they hear.
