A group was at La Noisette including one of my friends, a remarkable Scottish woman who has done massage on war victims in Bosnia and walked the St. James de Compostela. It was natural to stop and have a cup of tea.
She was just back from a trip to the UK. There was nothing unusual about the talk turning to politics (French, English, American). This woman regrets she can't contribute to Obama. Her grasp of the issues (economic, health care, foreign affairs, education) probably exceeds that of many Americans I speak with.
I voiced the opinion that I thought McCain would win the election.
Horror crossed her face. "He can't." She then confessed when she was in the UK and was in a bookstore there was a display of McCain books. When no one was looking she put them under the counter and replaced them with Obama books.
