Obama/Kaine's mothers--it's in the stars

Obama-Kaine trivia: El Dorado, KS, via Harvard
Mike Allen notes one:
Barack and Michelle Obama + Tim Kaine and wife Anne Holton = four Harvard law grads.
And here's another: Their mothers grew up, not just in Kansas, but in the town of El Dorado, KS (pop. 12,718).
Kaine said last May: “I was really liking this guy. When I found out his mother grew up in the same town as my mom, El Dorado, Kansas, I knew we knew we were separated at birth and I had to support him.’’
Tempting coincidences for the symbolism-happy folks who brought you Unity, NH.
