I'm going to university in Japan, and yesterday I met up with a bunch of kids from the ESS (English Speaking Society) club. They asked me who I was voting for, and when I told them Obama, they started chanting "Yes we can!".
The fact that Obama can reach these kids who don't care at all about Japanese politics is amazing. It makes me even more excited to see him as president.
Hey, cool! You anywhere near Tokyo? We could have a Slog party. :)
