CNN.com reports that among registered black vot- ers Clinton is favored over Obama 57 percent to 33 percent. The site also reports that Clinton’s strongest support comes from black women, 68 percent of whom said she was their most likely choice. That’s in comparison to the 25 percent who say they would choose Obama. In terms of popularity, Clinton had been on and in the political scene much longer than Obama so she’s had more of an ability to develop a strong political base.

It’s easy — and not entirely unfair — to view McCandless as a selfish person. I don’t think anyone can logically think he is not — in spite of his compli- cated, bitter relationship with his parents. His goal — to reject all sem- blances of the society into which he was born and now views as oppressive — is par- ticularly contradictory. He sets out with the intention to live off the land, insisting on bringing only a book describing edible plants, yet carries with him a rifle with which to hunt — and then, upon arriving in Alaska, he stays in a very symbolic bus. He gets rid of his money, donat- ing most of it and even burn- ing some, yet has no problem accepting the help of strangers and even working at a Burger King when times get tough.

CW/ T.G. Paschal THE CRIMSON WHITE Gameday 2007 11 Gilberry faces tough test against UT

BY CAROLINE GWALTNEY Senior Sports Reporter ■ [email protected]

Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge has only been sacked twice this season. With the Volunteers having attempted 228 passes, Tennessee opponents are averaging just one sack in every 114 attempts, the best mark in the nation. But Alabama senior defensive end Wallace Gilberry, who leads the Crimson Tide with four sacks this season, doesn’t like this Tennessee statistic at all. “It really and truly comes from within,” said Gilberry, a Bay Minette native. “You make your mind up and just keep working, then some- thing good like a sack is going to happen.” But Gilberry, who will play his 45th career game Saturday, and the rest of the Tide defense are going to have a difficult time pressuring the 6-foot-6-inch, 220 pound quarterback, who has a powerful offensive line in front of him. Gilberry calls Tennessee’s offense “a well put-together unit,” but has confidence the Tide can find a way to bring the quarterback down. “It presents a great challenge, but we are definitely up for the challenge,” he said. “But we’re just going to keep coming and keep coming, because the biggest threat he poses is size.” While everyone knows the tradition associ- CW/ T.G.
