Obama's father is from Kenya. They say the whole country over there is watching and rooting for him.

We thought people were ready for a change, but they say in the last three days the undecided voters in both Texas and Ohio jumped on the Hillary wagon. Most of the large cities went for Obama, but the small towns almost unanimously favored Hillary in Texas. I was very surprised at that. They say the "traditional" democrats will go for her because of her experience, the sympathy they give her because of Bill's indescretion, and the alliances the Clintons have forged over so very many years.

I'm worried now about Florida and Michigan. They are back in play and may redo their primaries. Both favored Hillary. (Their delegates will not be allowed to count because they violated national party rules and heald their primaries too early.) On one hand it does not seem fair, however, both states knew going in that they were breaking the rules and what the consequences would be and they did it anyway. They had a big meeting about it in Washington this evening and are trying to get the delegates to count.
