Politics – If the chase for the Democratic nomination appears to have reached a stage of inevitability, the word has not reached the voters in Iowa.
FTA:
The Democratic presidential campaign, viewed at ground level in Iowa, is awash in uncertainties. Will Mr. Edwards, who started a 17-county bus tour on Friday, hold the supporters who propelled him to second place here in 2004? Will Mr. Obama turn his large crowds into real voters? Will Mrs. Clinton's national advantages assuage concern among some voters who worry how Republicans will go after her in a general election?))
Sounds like a toss up, but i still don't know who i want for president? i'm so confused!!
For anyone still undecided - a word to the wise:
What our Country needs, desperately needs, is a president who will remind us - again! - that "the only thing we have to fear is FEAR itself"...
In other words, a President who appeals to the old-fashioned American virtue of optimism and "can-do-itis" and in so doing rally us to help restore our nation's international integrity, erase our deep national divisions, restore our Constitution as well as our armed forces to greatness, and make us proud to be American again!

Great story!
Obama wows the crowds in Iowa.
Yes, good story Alpha. To me it has always been a little puzzling as to how important Iowa is in the primaries.
"If you build it, they will come."
"If you win it, you will suceed."

Simple: there's an old saying in politics: "perception is everything."
Combine that with the adage of first impressions being the most lasting coupled with MASSIVE media coverage, Iowa suddenly become a HUGE state to win. When your state primary is the first for such an important election every fours years, suddenly the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts.
