Poll question: which candidate got the "most significant" black endorsement this week?
I'm not including Clark's endorsement by Andrew Young because it's unofficial.

1. Clark
Whatever their caucus positions, Rangel is far better known than Cummings or the other guy.

2. Don't forget
Andrew Young and Thurgood Marshall Jr., Both heavyweights in the Black communities! That's covering all of the South. Don't forget the difference between Clark's and Dean's view of AA.

Also many Black folks in the military. Their families respect the old guard endorsements by the legendaries Young and Marshall over Maryland (not even the South) Representative's endorsement.

Ron Abernathy, the brother of the famous late Ralph Abernathy is also a Clark Fan. He, I know personally.

6. A lot of people are underplaying Clyburn's appeal in SC.
A pretty substantial local endorsement.
