Obama Kickoff Was Iowa's Biggest
"Barack Obama is off to a stellar start in Iowa," writes the Des Moines Register's David Yepsen. "The Illinois senator had what is likely to be the largest kickoff ever seen for any candidate in the history of the caucuses."

"His crowds in Cedar Rapids and Waterloo were huge - two or three thousand per event. In Ames, about 5,000 people were at the Hilton Coliseum. Even a lowly house party in Iowa Falls attracted 200."

1. Say what you want

But it strikes me that in this age of politicos like the bush, cheney, most pugs and quite a few dems, America is pretty damn lucky a guy like BHO even wants to run.

5. I agree

She is only leading due to name recognition. She has no place to go but down. Obama has no place to go but up.

4. I'm really loving this

Barack Obama has got a lot of energy and he's really giving a shot of adrenaline to the American people. Every time I hear Obama speak at an event I like him that much more!

Hillary Clinton really doesn't offer anything new. Obama is a fresh face and seems to be able to actually bring people together rather than drive them apart.

He's amazing!

6. I agree, I am a Clark supporter but I also love Obama!
