Where are you?!?!

With the Democratic presidential primary today in South Carolina, has anyone heard from Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Julian Bond, or any other leader of the NAACP on Barack Obama's campaign. I have heard no endorcement or criticism. Are they afraid of lending their support for fear it will turn people off or do they not agree with his politics but are also afraid to state this for fear of turning people away? Anyone know? The NAACP website home page makes no mention of Obama, but does talk about nominees for the NAACP Image Awards (of which only TV, movie and literary people are nominated) and targeting Target, but not one word about Obama. How does Obama feel about this-happy, angry, dissapointed? I just find it interesting that the highest profile African-American has been ignored by the largest African-American organization as well as the 2 most outspoken African-Americans. Do they know something we don't-but should?
