Loyalties tested in S.C. as voters contemplate Democratic primary
LORIS, S.C. - In the beauty parlors that are among the social hubs for black women in the Carolinas, loyalties are being tested as voters here contemplate the first Democratic primary in the South.
Clara Vereen, who has been working here in rural eastern South Carolina as a hairstylist for more than 40 of her 61 years, reflects the ambivalence of many black women as she considers both Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

It's too bad that some of the women fear for Obama's life if he is elected. This poll was conducted only in South Carolina. I wonder if the results would be the same in other parts of the country. Earlier polling showed Caucasian women were divided agewise. Older women preferred a male president, younger women for Hillary. I wonder if this is true for African American women. The Obama organizer was only 23.
