In Pro-Obama Brooklyn, Clinton Supporter Predicts Victory
Barack Obama has relatively strong support from local elected officials in and around the 11th congressional district in Brooklyn, the heart of his support in New York City.
But the district's newly-elected Congresswoman Yvette Clarke supports Hillary Clinton,
And Mathieu Eugene--the first Haitian-born City Councilman--who represents the area, declined to tell me earlier this week who he’s supporting.
Una Clarke, the Congresswoman’s mother and matriarch of politics in the district, is with Clinton.
“I think Hillary will win the 11th,” Una Clarke told me just now in a telephone interview. “I think the mature voters will want to go her, because of age and experience.”
“There are people who like Barack, but the bottom line is people are looking for bread and butter,” she told me. “They’re looking for the delivery of the goods.”
OBAMA AT THE MEADOWLANDS TOMORROW!

finally, a voice of reason. thank you.
The only 35 years of Experience that Hillary has is in that philandering husband.
In government, Hillary has been a Washington Senator for 8 yrs. Obama has experience in the ILL Senate 4yrs and the Washington Senate 4 years
But Hillary supporters believe anything!
This is not a race to see how Hillary might pull it off... far from it and to hear people like "Clarke" talk about Hillary experience, shows how stupid and uniform she is. Hillary, it has been proven has no experience and is a lier and a whole lot of other naughty things.. to think that she still has a chance is dumb. Obama is less than 55 out depending on whose numbers you believe. Hillary and her (stupidoes) are ruining a good thing... history will remember those stupid people who cut their nose off to spite their face. What is so bad is that America will have to wait, and many will suffer because of these racists, and ignorant people like Hillary care so little for America and so much for their own experience.
