Obama’s S.C. victory
After Senator Barack Obamas South Carolina victory, political analysts say that youth plays a huge role in the outcome of his next victory.
As his campaign continues, Obama continues to hit big with America’s youth for a number of reasons.
“Obama talks about issues that are important to young people. When we graduate, we are all going to need health care, and providing health care for everyone is important to him,” said Jennifer Frazier, CMU junior.
The last African American to run for president was Rev. Jesse Jackson, two decades ago. Frazier is excited about Obamas campaign because he is a fresh African American face.
“Obama shows America the positive side of black people that isn’t portrayed on a regular basis. I think it’s time for a change in culture and a different face,” said Frazier.
One of the reasons Pierre Vinson, recent CMU graduate is voting for Obama is because he doesn’t want another Clinton in office.
“If Hilary gets elected, it would be like Bill being back in office, and I think that he would influence her decisions too much,” Vinson said.
