It's been awhile since I posted to my blog. With Nevada and South Carolina coming up, I thought it would be a good time to post a few musings from the past few weeks. First of all, congratulations to the people of Iowa for seeing that the Senator is the most qualified candidate for change in the Democratic race. They saw through all of the other candidates and their false hopes. I find it amazing how just about every candidate has managed to pick up on what Senator Obama has been saying ever since he got in the race - This country needs change. Not just change in Washington, but a change in the mind set of the people. Now every other candidate has printed sign boards with the word "change" in them. And they make sure they get shown on TV. They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. If that is the case, then the Senator is on the right track.
After Iowa, came New Hampshire. The pundits and pollsters predicted that Senator Obama, coming off his win in Iowa would be the runaway winner, getting approximnately 37% of the vote. HC (and we know who that is) would come in a distant second. It didn't happen that way, unforunately. HC made a "comeback" aided by her crocodile tears and managed beat the Senator with around 40% of the vote. The thing that none of the pundits I've heard say is that the Senator recieved exactly the percentage of votes that he was predicted to recieve. It seems to me that HC pulled votes from Edwards and Richardson. Before the primary, Edwards was predicted to get around 22% and Richardson around 12. What happened was Edwards recieved 17% and Richardson 5%. So in the end, The Senator did exactly what he was supposed to do and HC pulled support from Edwards and Richardson. And now that Richardson is out of the race, hopefully the Senator will be able reap some benefit from those supporters in the coming races.
Now we are on to Nevada and South Carolina. In Nevada, the Senator has received the support of the largest union in the state, the Culinary union. And in South Carolina, the first true test with a large African-America populous, the Senator is polling very well. All of this leads to Super Tuesday on February 5th. With momentum gained in Nevada and South Carolina, the train that is the Barack Obama express cannot and will not be stopped. The people have had enough. It's time for change. It's all coming together and with your help, the Senator will be headed to the convention as the next Democratic nominee for president!
