I have been watching State of Black America on C-SPAN. Obama is not that popular there. In fact, they questioned the announcement of his candidacy in Springfield and his association with Lincoln whom they consider to be a racist. Tavis reminded the group that we have both Hillary and Obama in the race. He also passed on Obama's excuse why he couldn't attend the meeting. The audience was not too happy with it.

Very interesting comments kabar. I'm not too sure the Lincoln/Springfield show was aimed at the African-American audience. I think his aim was the Soccer Mom audience, but that is just a guess on my part. I cannot imagine Chicago voters not voting for Obama come elections. I am sure I am way off base. Thank you for your very interesting comments. FYI, the president of my company is strongly in Obama's camp and she has let us know that.
