The Pennsylvania Primary

If any of my Chinese friends are not too busy surfing the Internet for anti-Chinese slights or trying to harangue Free-Tibeters, they may be interested in following the U.S. presidential election.  Just now, they have had a presidential primary in the state of Pennsylvania.  It looks like Hilary Clinton will win.  What does it mean?  You can go to this site to see many takes on it, a wide range of opinions as it were.  American democracy you have to love it.  And as a Canadian, I do. 

Will there ever be Democracy in China?  I wish to see it come here.  I think it would be a wonderful thing to see the Chinese put their incredible energy into elections.   I sense in the Chinese reaction to the Torch rally controversy a civic and political urge that normally is not allowed to be expressed. 

Back to the Pennsylvania.  Hilary still has a chance to get the nomination from Obama but it is a small one.  Still, her eight point victory tonight doesn't hurt.
