Pennsylvania Polka Dot

Alright, I won’t win the primary election in Pennsylvania. Just like in Ohio and Texas and elsewhere, I’ll come close. Hillary will get the headlines, I’ll get the delegates. That works for me.

Winning a primary is not a black or white thing, so to speak. We split the delegates based on votes. Without spending much money in Ohio or Texas, I ended up with nearly as many delegates as Senator Clinton.

Pennsylvania is more like Ohio than any other major state. It’s full of old women, old people, Catholics, and blue-collar workers trying to find work. No one can honestly think that coalition of white people will put their trust in a black man, even if he’s half white.

Am I the only one who thinks it odd that I’m half white and people think I’m black? Michelle said, “Barack, you’re a Pennsylvania Polka Dot.

I have no idea what she meant by that and I was afraid to ask.
