"90 percent of the 20-member board of the CBC’s PAC"

[KeepItReal]

So 18 members of the board of the Congressional Black Caucus' Political Action Committee are gonna lend their support to Sec. Clinton? That's cool.

Y'all were making it should like all 40+ Congressional Black Caucus members would be at the podium doing an endorsement.

1. We might think there's a distinction

you'll hear very little of the difference between the PAC board for CBC and the CBC itself.
More identity politics, the people at the top speak, the remainder either ignored entirely or celebrated individually, everyone else fall in line when your socio-racial-economic leadership group says so.

2. And that PAC has some interesting background.

4. All members of the CBC but 5 have already individually endorsed Hillary Clinton

(one of those 5 who haven't endorsed is a Republican, Mia Love). So of the 44 members, 39 have already officially endorsed. Your attempt to diminish Clinton's support is ... a fail.

Here are the CBC members who have already announced their endorsements of Clinton:

5. I support Hillary, but I'm not sure Jim Clyburn of S.C. does.

[frazzled]

6. Then he was mistakenly listed among the endorsements

7. great find....a Wikipedia mistake...who would have ever thought that could be possible?

[frazzled]

8. It hardly negates the preponderance of support she has among CBC members

This is a silly discussion, trying to downplay AA endorsements by writing of the CBC Pac as unrepresentative.

[KeepItReal]

9. A lot of those same US Representatives endorsed her in 2008

Only proves they are loyal to Clinton.

Didn't do anything to help her win a nomination then.

And WaPo spinning it like it belies some massive support from the Black community won't help either.

The African-American primary vote is split.

Can Sec Clinton win a nomination like that? Nobody as answered that question.
