I was hoping for more of an Obama win, but I will take what we got. Speaking missionaries and my grandparents, my grandmother formed one of the first Girl Scout troops there, and my grandfather, Rev. Ernest J. Frei, did some of the early work on the languages and dialects of the area! It turned out pretty well. I was hoping for more of an Obama win, but I will take what we got.

My mother was actually raised in the Philippines. My grandparents, who were Swiss, were stationed there before and during the Second World War with the Presbyterian church. So though you have connections here, I also have (or had) connections your way! Again, thanks for the compliments and the input. Michael Ian - Thanks for the comment, and I will let my wife know.

(PS: not that my vote counts, but tell your wife she has at least one ally in the Philippines regarding her choice of Hillary teehee) hi michael! i’m ian from the philippines but my parents are there, in greenville, sc. i’ve been to charleston once (loved Hyman’s food, yearning to stay at the Governor’s House Inn), and i must say you have a very lovely state. my parents love it there. the area seems very apt for new immigrants.

But, I think it gives a clear indication of the way things are moving. It will be interesting to see how the Clintons will try to adjust the campaign now.

And I think I read that Barack Obama received more votes that the top republicans put together. How amazing was the turnout!
