Obama is a hot commodity and apparently gaining more momentum across America.

 

Here is my simple reasoning: The youths form the majority of the voting population in any country, so far, Obama’s votes are coming from that class.  Clinton on the other hand is widely supported by the elderly. Obama’s message is very powerful. You can see how in Nevada, he won in the number of delegates but fell below Clinton in the total precincts’ counts. John Kerry’s endorsement coupled of with the many others will no doubt give his campaign a flavor. I am sure Kerry didn’t mean any harm to the Edwards but the least one would have expected as at now would be a neutral stance. I am sure others will disagree including myself. Caroline Kennedy did well by her endorsement of Obama, for her father was a man driven by passion; he won my heart after I followed his nuclear stance. He believes if one nation should have it then all should be entitled to it. I can imaginarily see a brilliant Senator Tedd Kennedy endorsing Obama in the near future. 

 

The big bang where over two dozens states will echo their votes on February 5th 2008 will be another defining moment. 

 

Now here is the pessimistic argument. I don’t subscribe to that. That America is not going to live beyond class, race or gender in this campaign. So far, they proved otherwise. Apparently they are ready for Obama or Clinton which will give them the first president of black blood or the first female president. 

 

Thanks for Sharing Sister Jabou.
