Blog The Vote- HILLARY WILL MAKE OBAMA "FIGHT FOR EVERY BLACK ENDORSEMENT AND EVERY BLACK VOTE"

Far from conceding African-American support to the most credible candidate ever of African descent, Sen. Barack Obama, the Clintons are pushing aggressively for the help of their longtime allies in the black business, political and entertainment elite. [Hillary] Clinton's supporters say she intends to make the Illinois senator fight for every black endorsement and every black vote. It's a strategy that pushes Obama to decide just how black he can afford to be: Will he pitch himself to African-American voters as the black candidate, or hew to the post-racial line that's helped make him sensationally popular with white Democrats? "He's not built to be the black candidate," said a Clinton adviser.
