Winning Formula

I have never contributed to any political party in my forty plus years on this earth. I've seen something in Obama that I never thought I will see in any serious politician; honesty, integrity, candor, humility and a breath of fresh air. Clinton is old news. I am on the verge of making a cash contribution to the Obama campaign. Go Obama.

Together for Obama,

this is an exciting development. Obama is a forward-looking voice of reason, rather than a desperate adherance to holding the past in place. The country, and indeed the world, really needs a person like Obama in the Oval Office.

Havent you noticed the differance? Why do you think the Jacksons and Sharptons are laying back ?

At the last Democratic convention, Obama gave the keynote speech. I was in awe...looking at a future President of the United States. I wish I had a national platform to tell everyone...vote Democratic this time, if for no other reason than to cure what ails the Supreme Court, which is now no more than a Republican rubber stamp. What they decode affects all of us for decades to come, and once they're in office, we're stuck with them.

Nicely written article. But I think it would be a mistake to think that Obama has only the fresh face youth supporting him ...I think his support runs deeper. And there are many groups who might be waiting for a positive signal, a verification of sorts, to start backing him up in earnest. Iowa verified Obama.

Imagine President Hillary Clinton for 8 years. That would mean 28 years with no president other than Bush or Clinton. No thanks. Its time for a change...way past time already

Obama never refused to say the Pledge. As for not placing his hand over his heart when you think he should, what a silly reason to discount someone.

Obama has shown good, solid judgement. He may not have years in experience in Washington, but I think that's a good thing. He isn't tainted by the Beltway. He's got my vote.

I'm "fired up" here in Colorado! I've been an Obama supporter from the get-go. Last night's win gave me a much-needed boost. My exhiliaration today is in the fact that Barack Obama' s movement is catching on--that we are truly turning the page on the Bush-Clinton dynasty.

Hilliary Clinton's "entitlement campaign" has backfired. Hooray! We need a woman President for sure, but she's not the one. Her secretive, calculating attack machine politics has turned many of us off. Bill, though a talented strategist, has too much of an ego that get in the way, plus there's plenty of negative character issues that will surface again should Hilliary be the nominee. Hilliary herself represents too much of the past, plus she helped Bush authorize his faily policy in Iraq.

I am so happy to be inspired by Barack Obama's new brand of politics that has more and more Americans fired up for real change and a new way of doing business. Like many, I've been disgrunted and felt left out of the process for too long. But now, America--and the world for that matter--can move on to a brighter future with a leader for the 21st century who will truly bring people together to solve problems here at home and then in the world community. African Zulu mythology referred to the Rainmaker--a saviour of sorts that would unite the tribes. Barack Obama has arrived on the world stage with the power to make a difference. Let's help him in this mission.

Barack is a gifted speaker. He is a self made man, well-educated, has strong familiy values, principles, honesty and deep sense of commitment in whatever he does. He is a very thoughtful man and controls his instincts with great sense of moderation. He has right kind of experience and background to lead this great nation and unify us all with some brilliant commonsence solutions. He does not hesitate to walk across the aisle and meet his opponents if he believes he can get a better deal for the good of the country. Do not believe when spin masters say that he does not have the experience to lead this country. What did the people who had the so called experience do ?. They landed us in a messy situation in Iraq where our brave soldiers are losing their lives on a misdirected forgeign policy adventure (the armed forces of our great nation never failed our country, it's the civilian leadership which failed our armed forces and our country at times in our history. The experienced people in Washington have created huge deficits, and they are clueless about directing our countries trade policies in this globalized economy. The experienced people are too tied up in their inflexible ideologies that they can never contemplate of coming together for the good of the country and bring about some commonsense solutions. The so called experienced people have become so elitist that they do not consider themselves to be common people anymore. The polictics have become so divisive that every issue, every comment is subject to spin endlessly and everybody is categorized either as a lefttist or a rightist or whatever and in this endless spin.....the issue is forgotten and the message is lost. Barack is a breathe of fresh air into our body politic and he should be given a chance considering the fact that much lesser mortals with doubtful credentials have attained the highest post in our land.

My fellow Americans, we are witnesses to history. And today I am very proud to be an American. Yesterday was act by the citizens of Iowa to demonstrate to the world that we are ready for change. That we are finally at the next step of evolution in the American society. And we are lucky be part of history. Iowa which is 95% white, put their faith in the first ever candidate to win a caucus/primary. America has finally evolved pass the race card. Americans are now more open and intelligent than ever before. We know that we must elect our leader based on principles and convictions. We will continue to make history and will elect the best person to lead us into the right direction. And that person will be Obama.

About five or six months ago I wrote to CNN's ( at least to three different ancores) and then again to AC360 and also to Fox News( Hannity and Colmes) about the possible outcome of the nomonation process and then the match up in the general election. I also foresightedly predicted that Obama and Huckabee will win the respective nomination process, and each one will pick John Edwards and Maccain respectively as a running mate ; and the outcome will be a conclusive victory to the democrats. Since the eastalished networks don't like any negative comments on the eastablished candidates( like Hillar Clinton), my opnion reached no where.
Coming back to Mr. Obama's success, this guy has lived the lives of ordinary citizens and worked in the communities, thus aleady knows the voices of the society by heart. That gives him alot of passion which he altmately reflects in his speech. It looks like he is addressing each and everyone of us privately even though he is speaking to the crowd. People are mesmerized with his images, his political ieads which transensd any barrier possible and above all his uncanny ability of delivering his messages.No body has ever broken the barriers like he did, he is highly reputed and endwells in the hearts and minds for generations to come. As I predicted long before, there is no one who can stop this MAN simply is born to lead not made to lead!!

Once again the media finds it hard to credit Obama for his victory. Usually when a team does well or bad the coach is where the buck stops.
Obama is the coach .He Chose his key team members!!!!!! So the title this piece should be "HOW OBAMA BUILT A VICTORY"
I'm sure if somebody in the obama campaign screwed up somehow ,the media would have blamed obama.
the people hate the media machine.

My son Christopher Farrell was one of the field organizers you mentioned in your well writen article. However he was not an Ivy league scholar but a proud graduate of our local state college Rhode Island College. He has worked tirelessly in Iowa and will be traveling to california to help out there. He is passionate about the work he is doing but more importantly he is passionate about Barack , for he is a man of integrity as well as intelligence. I have read both his books and believe he can take us into the future with dignity and grace.

I am the oldest of 8 kids and I am 28 the youngest is 18. I wasn't alive to see John or Robert Kennedy and how they motivated the younger generation, and I was 12 when Bill Clinton was first elected so I really didn't get to see how these great men where inspirational like I get to with Barrak Obama. I live in the reddest state in the Union and even the Republicans and Republican leaning Independents I know in Utah think highly of Obama. In Utah and the rest of the West Democrats are making big inroads, but Utahns and westerners look at the Clintons with Distain and I fear that if Clinton was our Nominee she would put the chances of Democrat here in Utah and the rest of the west!

I find it unbeleivable that outof state people can vote,as most were from Obama's home state.
