Dilemmas, dilemmas

(NYDailyNews.com) - Bill Clinton, touring black churches in Washington and Maryland, which hold primaries Tuesday, said he understands voters face a tough choice between his wife and Barack Obama.

"All my life I have wanted to vote for a woman for President," Clinton said Sunday. "All my life I have wanted to vote for an African-American for President. ... I wonder why God gave us this dilemma."

Parishioner Michael Gaddy said Clinton made a good speech, but, "It's not a dilemma for me. I think Obama's the better man for the job. If for some reason he doesn't get the nomination, I think we'd all be behind Hillary."
