Change is in the air
Last night Iowa spoke. Early reports had the number of caucus attendees at 26o,ooo plus, much higher than their last caucus. Traffic jams, parking problems, buildings locked because they couldn't hold any more people - go Iowa.
People are sick of what's been done to this country over the past 8 years and they are speaking loud and clear. One guy who voted Republican his entire life switched his vote to Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, who won last night. Obama reached out to middle America, women, websavey young adults, men - every group you can imagine. Obama's numbers last night were better than Mike Huckabee's and that too speaks loud and clear.
As much as I like Bill Clinton, I just can't visualize him as First Husband. Given that Hillary Clinton was surrounded by Washington old timers her voice for change fell short of Obama's and Edwards.
Don't rule out John Edwards yet. North Carolina produced another 2nd place winner - Clay Aiken. How refreshing it will be to see two other young guys running clean campaigns and not putting each other down to make themselves look better. Two more young guys who stay focused on their path and their message no matter how much crap gets thrown at them.
An Obama/Edwards ticket in 2008 would definitely sweep out the old and bring in the change quite a number of us are hoping for.

Now THAT would be a big ticket and one that would be a winner. I'd vote for that one...And I'm Canadian.
It certainly is time for a change and not just in the US.....but that is where it must begin since what happens there reflects on the rest of the world. Obama/Edwards would be a true 'tour-de-force' and even being a Canadian I sense the excitement beginning. Can't wait to see what comes down in New Hampshire next week!
