Blog The Vote-Congressional Black Caucus
Posted by informedstudents on May 1, 2007
According to The Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper, Sen. Barack Obama has yet to fulfill a promise to the Congressional Black Caucus to hold a fundraiser for their PAC.
His arch rival Sen. Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill Clinton, have both held fundraisers for the CBC.
Obama’s failure to match Clinton is significant because both are battling for support among black Democrats in the run-up to next year’s primaries. In South Carolina, for instance, the second primary in the nation, African-American voters are expected to make up about half of Democratic voters.
