Hillary Rodam Clinton needed all the help she could get last night in her New Hampshire primary win and she got it from a very unlikely place, African Americans. Like most African Americans around the country, those in New Hampshire are not ready to vote for Democratic hopeful Barack Obama, till southern White Democrats show they are going to vote for him as well. It's just that simple.
They don't care about Iowa. They don't care about New Hampshire. They care that their vote will count, that it will be a factor in bringing a Democrat to the White House. The color of the candidates skin will only be a consideration in African American pride, if for the first time in November 2008 they actually get to vote in the national election for Obama. In the mean time African Americans wait to see if Obama gets White southern support in those primaries. Check with us after the South Carolina and Florida primaries.
