Obama Nation

Ten months of hard work seems to be paying off for Barack Obama as he is beginning to see the fruits of his labor in Iowa. From the beginning of his campaign, Obama has preached "change" and it seems like the people of Iowa have finally bought his message. Just two days away from the caucuses, and the Obama campaign does not seem to have tired.

This morning, 400-500 Iowans gathered in the small gymnasium of Roosevelt High in the capital of the state. The excitement was high and the people were wide awake as they chanted "Fired Up, Ready for Change!" in anticipation of Obama's arrival. Iowans of all ages and races gathered to show their support for the senator that has seemed to start a movement with his ideals of hope, change and a better America.

Carol Hofmann, an Obama supporter, traveled from Massachusetts to witness the unprecedented enthusiasm that is taking over the Iowa caucuses. Hofmann is ready to see a president that she can believe in, one that she believes is telling her the truth, and for her, Obama is the man. Let’s see if Obama can springboard himself into the next caucuses with a win in Iowa.
