According to an unscientific study in the New York Post, Hillary Clinton owns Harlem. Especially Harlem women.
More than half of the 96 people questioned by a Post reporter in Harlem this week said they would vote for Clinton, with most preferring her experience as senator and first lady over relative neophyte Obama…
Fifty-seven percent chose Clinton; 19 percent favored Obama.
Clinton was not surprisingly a favorite among females, with 75 percent in her corner.
Most men found the anti-war Obama to be a fresh face.
“A lot of black voters have a problem with the war. And also, Obama is a mentor to us,” said George Danquah, 28.
Bill Clinton, a Harlem favorite who actually has his offices there, and the fact that Hillary is a New York senator has probably made her victory in NYC a foregone conclusion from the beginning. But forget politics, I’m wondering if the people in Harlem acted shockingly civilized during their interviews.

Ha.
People need to focus more on what these candidates stand for than their race and gender.
