Spent yesterday in Sumter, South Carolina doing voter protection, but today I am in Canada, and everyone here I’ve spoken to is thrilled about Obama replacing Bush as US President. No more wars, is the fervent hope I keep hearing most. Had a weird debate with a cab driver about whether Michelle Obama looks like Condoleeza Rice. He said yes; I don’t see it. He was an immigrant from India and had a lot of opinions. He questioned me closely about the Electoral College and recommended we switch to a Parliamentary form of government. I’m giving talks tomorrow and Friday, so again with the light blogging.
