Could Rep. James Clyburn -- or the words that motivate him -- swing African-American voters toward Obama in South Carolina?

    Clyburn endorsement means nothing to voters in SC..Hillary's discounting of MLK is what matter

    I cannot imagine why she would even go there and suggest that LBJ was more important and did the the heavy work for the passage of the 1964 civil rights act.. LBJ was eating fried chicken in the white house while MLK was being hosed on american streets.

    Hillary's dismissal of MLK was lethal even for a privledged white female and spouse of the so-called black president Bill Clinton.

    BTW his failure to step up and offer an apology to his fellow Black americans is also quite revealing...
