Later that night Kelly Hu, of X-Men fame, held two fund raisers at Hollywood nightclubs for young Asian Americans supporting Obama. "He really speaks to the younger generation," said Hu, who also knocked on doors in Nevada before the caucuses and drove to San Francisco last week to rally supporters. "He speaks to Asian Americans because he's lived amongst us in Asia and in Hawaii. But even if he hadn't, he would still be the most inspiring candidate I've ever seen."
