BlackState.com Obama's Win in Iowa
Obama's win in an overwhelmingly white Iowa may catapult him to the Democratic nomination. Iowans looked pass race and to the ideas and character of the candidate and chose Barack Obama (Dr. King would be proud).
Obama's win in an overwhelmingly white Iowa may catapult him to the Democratic nomination. Iowans looked pass race and to the ideas and character of the candidate and chose Barack Obama (Dr. King would be proud). Although Obama's victory is historic, Jesse Jackson won several primaries in 1988 but later fell to Michael Dukakis for the democractic nomination. Bill Clinton failed to win the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary but won the nomination.
Obama's message of hope and bridging the Karl Rove red state/blue state divide is appealing to a nation tired of partisan stalemate and corporate control over the U.S. government. But can Obama's message of reaching out really bring about the change he seeks. John Edwards who came in second in Iowa suggest that you have to take on the corporate power head on and be able to stand on your princples against powerful interest. Obama and Edwards are both a contrast to Hillary Clinton who may be seen, rightly or wrongly as part of the divide, because she is a polarizing figure.
