(Un rocher sur une autre montagne raconte la vérité.)
SECTION I: Arkansas and Tennessee Hardest Hit
The outcomes of Super Tuesday must be further studied, since Heaven gave a severe warning:
Residents in five Southeastern states rose Wednesday to widespread clusters of destruction caused by an unusually ferocious winter tornado system. At least 52 people were killed and scores more were injured...
Arkansas and Tennessee were the hardest hit, with Arkansas reporting 13 dead and Tennessee 28....

Arkansas and Tennessee are two states where the former US President and the Vice President, both Democrats, are deeply rooted in their political lives.
SECTION II: 80% for "Obama" in Tokyo
A Japan's news program, one of a few TV programs I often only see these days, reported last night that Americans supporting Mr. Barack Obama accounted for 80% of those who registered for the overseas primary voting as Democrats in Tokyo.
A Japanese reporter in New York also reported that the undecided competition between "Hillary" and "Obama" would further continue as long as they have necessary money, pleasing a female news caster in a Tokyo TV studio, while the prospect of Japan's General Election is getting remote.
SECTION III: Who Supports Who?
A Japanese newspaper this morning reported that the poor, the elder, and the not-highly educated support "Hillary."
The rich, the young, and the highly educated support "Obama."
If this competition is between "Condoleezza" and "Hillary," I might choose the former, since the former looked like more suitable for taking a part in a US Religious Revolution.
SECTION IV: Who Said What?
UK Guardian online reads:
But the next president will be different. He or she will not be able to respond to economic recession merely by boosting defence spending and cutting taxes and social programmes, as Mr Bush did in his budget this week. Nor will the next president be a climate-change denier. Mr Bush's successor will think twice before tearing up treaties or undermining international institutions and, if they are a Democrat, will think three times before playing at being a soldier.
The primaries have exposed an anxious mood of self-inquiry as well as a thirst for change. Much of the debate may proceed in a direction which makes America more protectionist and isolationist.
Mrs Clinton found that the economy resonated more than Iraq. The looming recession, house repossessions, affordable healthcare, keeping jobs in the country, border control and immigration are the issues that grip the nation.

So, the English must be backing "Hillary."
Indeed, "Hillary" must have better understanding of a situation around Princess Diana.
Also, another Guardian article reads:
Yesterday morning I heard a BBC radio correspondent say: "Remember, of course, that Ohio is a swing state in American elections."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,,2253636,00.html
Truly, Ohio is a place with a great story behind it, which goes back to the era of George Washington and Indian Chief "Little Turtle."

In my theory, a wife of a president or a prime minister plays a decisive role not only as such but also as a wife of a candidate according to, and depending on, situations of the era.
In this context, Mrs. Nancy Reagan was very unique and mystic, matching the era of the end of the doomful Cold War. After her, only wives of the Bushes ran the White House except ex-able female lawyer Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In Japan, no one knows who the wife of still influential former Prime Minister Mr. Mori is; everybody knows that then next Prime Minister Mr. Koizumi has been long divorced; no one talks about whether then next Prime Minister Mr. Abe has children; but it is widely assumed that incumbent Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda has a son, serving his father as his secretary, and the sophisticated wife from the upper class of Japan.
Finally, in this regard, I really think that the death of Princess Diana in Paris foretold the ensuing fates of the political leaders in countries concerned.
Of course, Japan is included there, since I am highly concerned.
(It is said that Mrs. Abe asked her husband to think about retirement from politics, since Mr. Shinzo Abe reached the top position, Japan's Prime Minister, but was forced to resign by his physical and psychological conditions.
However, it is reportedly said that Mr. Abe is looking forward to another chance for comeback that might come in a decade.
Indeed, if JFK had waited for a decade to run for US Presidency, his son should have been able to become US President even today after his two uncles.
Truly, a girl cannot wait for ten years; but a young man must sometimes wait for a decade, another decade, and 30 years in case, so that a young soldier could become a president or a presidential candidate if not a caesar.
I respect the Vietnam War hero Mr. John McCain, since nowadays some people in Vietnam are acting like Chinese brainwashed by big money.)
