Could it be True.

Barack Obama won his first Presidential caucus last night, in a historic victory that just might spark the momentum to get him to the White House. In the Iowa caucus where Hillary Clinton finished 3rd, and John Edwards finishing 2nd – Obama proved to America that he not only could win, but win in state that’s 95% white. This is a new election year – an election like our country has never seen before. The variables are different – new media such as blogs, facebook, myspace, text messaging and you tube have played an integral part in getting people involved with this election process. Furthermore with such a decisive victory over Clinton – who was leading in polls only months before the caucus – he has shown America that he can hang with a Presidential powerhouse. Perhaps the country wants change more than they want a practiced politician. The Clinton’s and Bush’s have been in the White House for the last 20 years – and look where the country is. Financially strapped by a war over owl and corporate mongers who will sacrifice anything at their own benefit.

Change is the main focus of the Obama campaign – it has been their voice since the beginning – the audacity of hope. Its a different election year, the variables are different, just like the music industry is changing from big business to independents, the election process has changed from stagnant old powerhouses and their outlets to new inspired campaigns and new media. Whatever candidate has the best knowledge of new media (myspace, facebook, text messaging etc.) has the largest chance to win this election. Furthermore Obama's not rolling with any young punks - google AKP&D - see where they come from, see what they do. My belief in this campaign doesn't come from unabated information. I've done my research and I believe for a reason that he has a chance. Many people believe this momentum will carry Obama through this election year - but honestly its too early to tell. But stay tuned this is just the beginning of history in the making. But as usual don't take my word for it.
