Southern Blacks Are Split Over Obama And Clinton

New York Times:

The People's Voice African-American Weekly News in tiny Roanoke, Ala., has not endorsed a candidate in the state's Democratic presidential primary on Feb. 5 -- much to the frustration of its publisher, Charlotte A. Clark-Frieson, a Barack Obama supporter.

"I'm trying to get ready to endorse him, but my board is so split," Ms. Clark-Frieson said.

Why wouldn't the Blacks be split between Obama and Clinton? Aren't Whites also split? And women? And men?

What kind of bullshit is NYT peddling?

"Southern Blacks Are Split Over Obama And Clinton"

Thus destroying another Republican preconception that all blacks would obviously vote for the black candidate.

I guess they were just projecting.

Remember that Obama also has problems attracting the working class vote, what he really need is a race car driver, a pro wrestler or someone with an appeal to working class America. The intellectuals that he seem to attract just aren't enough.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Obama have a much smaller lead "the polls" in South Carolina compared to Hillary where there is a much larger African American electorate than in, New Hampshire? And after New Hampshire, do polls really mean all that much anymore?

Edwards '08!

Well Bill and Hillary have attempt to smear and demonize Obama through their proxies like the good little Klan members the Clintons are. Bill and Hillary are bigots and hopefully the majority of African Americans see the Clintons for what they are.

I am for Edwards but it is not over just yet for Obama. He may win Nevada and he is going to win South Carolina. Sadly he may lose Florida because of the Jewish vote will avoid him because of the Muslim and madrassa smears by the KKKlintons and their stooges.

Black people have no great love for Hillary over Obama, they just see her more as a winner and don't want to take a chance on Obama.

The reason why black people are unlikely to vote for Barack Obama is because he can't win.

The reason why Barack Obama can't win is because black people won't vote for him.

Quite a fulfilling prophecy don't you think.
