Just 54 people voted in the Democratic primary in Turkey last Saturday, but thousands more voted around the world. Tonight I learned the Turkish results:
Obama: 60%
Clinton: 33%
I thought we’d learn the results for the global primary, but the election in London was held at a pub and I think they’re still trying to count the votes right.
I also learned that my picture made it onto a couple Turkish news sites and I was quoted in a story on the online version of Zaman.

“Başından beri Irak savaşını desteklemedi, onun yanlış olduğunu söyledi. Bu hoşuma gidiyor.”
That’s is so true. Now if only I knew what it meant.
Hey Mark, what I said was, “From the beginning he didn’t support the Iraq War and said that it was wrong. I like that.”
And that’s a partial answer to your question of why Obama. You’re right, though, that on a lot of issues there isn’t much difference between Hillary and Barack. I would vote for Hillary if she becomes the Dem. candidate.
Thanks for the translation, I was too lazy to cut and paste into a translator and too proud to admit that I was not sure what language you were speaking.

I was asking Mom the other day…..’How did two Republicans raise 3 Democrats?’
She didn’t have an answer.
