OK, so I just heard back from the daughter who was in Greenville SC last night. At a predominantly African American bar with a friend from school in North Carolina, who is from Greenville. They wanted to check out the "historic moment" scene--as tourists, mind you. She said they haven't been following the race at all, really.

Lots of partying in the name of Obama apparently, but she felt totally out of place, rather than feeling the love. And this is a girl who has no lack of experience being the only white kid in the room. Culture shock. South Carolina just isn't Minnesota. But they had a good time before they headed back over the state line to listen to bluegrass in Asheville.

Historic moments aren't really all they are cracked up to be, are they?
