In Pennsylvania, Democrats See Color, and Beyond It
By MICHAEL POWELL
John McCain hopes for an opening here, where race talk is sometimes submerged, sometimes open.
Old factory towns like Ambridge, Pa., are traditionally Democratic, but there is skepticism about Senator Barack Obama.

“I’m no racist, but I’m not crazy about him either,” said Mr. Piroli, 77. “I don’t know, maybe ’cause he’s black.”

He winces at himself. “We was raised and worked with the black, the Serb,” he said. “It was a regular league of nations. And the economy now, it’s terrible.”

“I’ve got to vote for him,” he said finally.

Him? “The Democrat, Obama,” Mr. Piroli replied. “I can’t be stupid.”
