Obama wins the presidency

CNN just now projected that Obama will be the 44th president elect of U.S.A. This is a moment millions of Americans - white & colored, rich and poor - awaited for hundreds of years. This sends a message across to the world that America remain resilient as it used to be.

For younger generation, it was about electing a transformational figure for the biggest job. Someone who was riding on a change message. Obama was sticking to his message, inspiring the voters with his electrifying speeches. There is no doubt the real test is ahead of him to make the country stronger and also to restore the leadership of America.

I was lucky to get involved early as everything started early here with Iowa Caucus. The first rally I met Obama in Des Moines downtown hardly had 500 people. Iowans could be proud that they sensed the extra-ordinary abilities Obama demonstrated here and elected him in Democratic primary. And its my turn to treasure the memories of tracing this election so closely.

Finally Iowa Caucus Today

Finally Iowa Caucus is here . Iowa is really cold but its totally warmed up by rallies, campaigns - almost $25 Million is what candidates pumped into Iowa as advertisement and orgranization set-up.

When i was returning after my vacation in Cincinnati on 1st Jan i had to take the connection flight from Atlanta to Des Moines and the flight was jam packed with reporters and spectators . The guy who was sitting next to me was a fund raiser for Mike Huckabee and he did have some important observations on the presidential campaigns.

I think I like the increased popularity of Obama in Iowa. Today there were young guys campaigning for him all over the city , skywalk and everywhere . I could not see that much of enthusiasm among Hillary supporters. After reading all news, and seeing things here in Iowa here is my prediction for Democrats.

1. Barack Obama
2. John Edwards
3. Hillary

Yes - I know Hillary enlisted 5000 drivers to move people to caucus places and the weather is cold out there. I am betting this because of the second choice game the complex caucus system has.
