YouTube - Obama's Victory Speech
I have been so incredibly excited since Obama was declared the victor in last night's Iowa caucuses. I have been increasingly impressed by him as the campaign progressed, though I was worried by a weak month or so late this fall.
Last night's victory was a fantastic moment on several levels. Obama ran a great campaign and attracted younger voters, 35% of the women, independents, and even some Republicans. An African American won a critical vote. And Hillary Clinton came in third!
If Obama wins NH and, as looks quite possible, SC, too, then the nomination will be his to lose. Sure, a lot could happen in the coming weeks. But, as David Brooks noted in his op ed today, many Americans are going to get caught up the the Obama successes and the historical significance.
Here's a link to Brooks' article:
