I will continue; much is happening in my own district and it is my responsibility to connect, knowing the candidates' stance on cancer research, prevention, and education. My last thought, for the moment, how to reach the superdelegates? I am going to try to connect with ones in my district/State, if I can find out who they are. And you?

People naturally stared at each other wondering who would be next. "I'm cool; did that," I muttered to a woman who kept staring at me.
