CNN kept my little quick-note-taking fingers busy today. Wolf interviewed House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.).
Neither wants to "take sides". Clyburn wants a debate to continue between Clinton and Obama. Norton has "two good friends" running. And, she says, "I am a black...woman." So she's torn.
As it stands now, per Wolf, Obama has the vote of 17 in the Black Caucus, Clinton has 16, Edwards 2, and 7 are undecided.
Wolf played a controversial clip from the video above, in which Andrew Young said, "Bill [Clinton] is every bit as black as Barack" [among other things].
Clyburn: "We have to be very careful how we speak."
Norton: "Surrogates have done more harm than the candidates themselves...We need to be careful."
Norton was pushing for a D.C. vote: "Let D.C. vote the way the rest of the country does on the House floor."
Clyburn said the two candidates need a message about their vision of the economy and our credibility around the world.


I wanted to hear more than this.
