N.Y. Black Caucus Standing by Clinton
By BENJAMIN SARLIN, Special to the Sun | January 9, 2008
New York's black congressional representatives, all of whom have endorsed Senator Clinton for president, are standing pat in their choice, reaffirming their loyalty before the results of Mrs. Clinton's victory in New Hampshire were in last night.
Calls to each of the four New York members of the Congressional Black Caucus — Reps. Yvette Clarke of Brooklyn, Edolphus Towns of Brooklyn, Charles Rangel of Manhattan, and Gregory Meeks of Queens — confirmed that Obama's victory in Iowa did not water down their support for Mrs. Clinton.
Mr. Meeks told The New York Sun that the new primary schedule could be what is fueling a comeback for New York's junior senator.
"She's in great shape," he said.
