This past week, Lylah Holmes - a student at Columbia lensing a documentary on Barack Obama for her Masters' thesis - revealed some intriguing information to talk show host, Charlie Rose.
After following the Presidential candidate around on the campaign trail, she was able to share a couple of curious observations, with the viewing public.
When Mr. Rose asked Ms. Holmes who black voters were inclined to cast their ballots for, she noted there was a distinctive split between the young and the old.
The first-time filmmaker noted that young Afro Americans were leaning towards Presidential candidate, Barack Obama, "provided there was a chance of winning; after all, they wanted their vote to count."
But her insightful comments about the older black folks - the women, in particular - struck me as not only timely, but funny, and equally quotable.
She alleged that the older women were voting for Hillary Clinton because she was not only viable (Iowa caucus, notwithstanding) but due to the fact she was married to Bill, a former President.
"By voting for Mrs. Clinton, the older African American women feel they'll be getting two candidates for one."
Well, I'm all for value voting.
Super-size my ballot, please!
