Why African Americans prefer Clinton to Obama

According to a recent poll, Clinton has a 15 point lead over Obama when it comes to votes from Black women. African Americans in the past have appreciated and supported Bill Clinton, and agreed with his policies. So it's no surprise that their loyalty lies with the Clinton family, except in regards to Obama, who is the first chance to have a Black president in office. " She looks like she has a much stronger chance of getting the nomination and getting elected than Obama. You want to go with the winner, and if that's a woman as opposed to someone black, then you want to go with them," said Newsday columnist McCarthy. However, Obama plans to combat Clinton's popularity by using Oprah Winfrey's support, who has vocally said that she supports him. It will be interesting to see how Blacks vote this time around; will they vote for Clinton who has always remained faithful and loyal to African Americans, or will they vote for Obama and finally see a Black president?
