RENDELL: "We didn’t lose in Pennsylvania because of racism. Actually, more important point was were Pennsylvanians ready to vote for a woman president or this woman president? Interestingly, Hillary Clinton lost by about 50,000 votes; Katie McGinty by about 90,000 votes. The three Democratic row officer candidates, attorney general, state treasurer, all won by an average of 250 which means a lot of Democrats walked into the polls, didn’t vote for either of the two women, did vote for the men and voted for the men in fairly big numbers.”
STEIN: “Governor, how many times has a woman won statewide in Pennsylvania?”
RENDELL: “For a major office, only once. We have had no women governor, no woman senator, and we have no women congressmen.”
