Snoop Dogg Split Between Obama and Clinton
Rapper and producer Cordozar Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus Jr. said on CNN’s Larry King that he was torn between both US Democratic hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton because they hold very historic candidacies.
“I just want to see somebody win in the best interest of America – whether it be [Obama], a black man, or whether it be Hillary, a woman,” the rapper said during a Friday night interview.
“Either one is a great move for America,” the rapper said. He continued by saying: “We need change. We need somebody in there that’s about listening to the people and representing the people. I think both of the candidates will do that.
He also thinks that America is ready for a black president. Snoop Dogg noted that Obama is the first African-American with a real chance to win a shot at the White House.
“In the past we had presidential candidates like [Rev.] Jesse Jackson. We didn’t really think he can win,” Snoop Dogg said. He added: “Right now people feel like this man could really win. He’s got the right thing going for him. He’s got the right conversation. He’s in line with the right scenario to win. Whether he wins or loses, he made a great step for Black America by even stepping to the table and pulling off something like this.”
