Obama has had shown amazing performance in these past few months with capturing the Democratic Nomination as the first African American to do so. For that, I congratulate him, and my hat goes off to his supporters who made it possible. But there is still a problem.

He can't make it to the White House.

My reasons are as follows:

Ralph Nader has just broken a world record. Having a Guinness World Records recorder following his staff all around Massachusetts, he recently announced here that he had broken the record for "Most Consecutive Stops for a Political Campaign in one State and One Day," or something like that. We were at stop #19. He had been to my hometown of South Hadley, had a nice rally in Boston and pretty much criss-crossed the whole state. Bad weather and bad traffic must have slowed him down, but I assume he had fun.

If you were in Massachusetts today, you would know. Well, I was at Smith College when I noticed a pamphlet for his road trip on the table. We went into the Raven used book store (if you live in Northampton you'd know exactly what I'm talking about), and waited for a total of 2 hours for the staffing crew to show up. It's a relatively small bookstore. So, over a span of 2 hours, we ended up being cramped next to at least seventy other people with hardly any breathing space.

The people I met there were quite remarkable. One was a 95-year-old lady who had apparently planned several Nader rallies in the 1960's. Things were getting dubious, as his arrival kept getting postponed. At 10:07, he walked into the room.

My first diary. Bare with me, please.

Well, it happened. Evo Morales, the MAS (Movimiento Al Socialismo)and Bolivia's indigenous population have taken gas laws, power and justice to the streets. Evo, following in the footsteps of his long-time political friend Hugo Chavez, has called upon Congress to vote on a referendum that would allow him to suspend the Bolivian Constitution in times of crisis.
