OBAMA WINS IOWA WITH 38%, YOUTH REVOLUTION, 236,000 TURNOUT, CLINTON 3RD!!
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 11:39 PM by Dems Will Win
You say you want a revolution?

You've got one! 98% precincts reporting:

Obama 38%
Edwards 30%
Clinton 29%
Richardson 2%
Biden 1%
Dodd 0%

Barack has now broken the color barrier for the Presidency of the United States. Get ready for the political experience of our lifetimes. There is little doubt Obama will will NH, given McCain's poor showing here, his 8-point win and Hillary coming in THIRD. Then it's Katy bar the door and he's likely to win the first 4 and then come close to running the tables except for maybe NY, FL, NJ and a few states. Obama will win CA I predict.

Obama is THE ONE:

1. Considering the grownups have fucked up this country...
I'm glad to see the youth out there expressing their voice.

5. We gave you the longest sustained period of economic growth in U.S. history.
A simple thank-you would suffice.

19. Sorry! Wrong link...
I'm so very sorry. I just noticed that I dropped in the wrong link.

Pruneface, Poppy & Smirko grew national debt from under 1 to over 9 Trillion Dollars.

All it took was some tax cuts to corporations and the right individuals.

Some voodoo in that Voodoo Economics.



Corporate McPravda sold it to us and then the BFEE looted the Treasury:

SoCalDem's correct. Even on his good days, Pruneface didn't know what was going on.

Sorry, the other went to a story about Smirko McCokespoon.

12. The New Deal is claimed by our grandparents' generation that lived through the Great Depression.
Without the New Deal, the longest period of economic growth in American history would not have been possible. Some other generation was responsible for voting Reagan into office.

7. I'm all for a youth revolution.
If you were waiting for my generation to clean up the mess we are prepared to leave you, it's not going to happen. If young people had gotten into the game in 2000 and 2004 the pile of crap might have been a little less deep and smelly, but we didn't make the case for change. If Barack Obama carries his Iowa momentum to the Democratic nomination, I'll bust my butt for him like I did for John Kerry. We owe that to you. If my two year old grandson has some real heroes in his life, I won't feel like I have left him nothing. If Barack Obama brings a fundamental change to our corrupted system, he'll be my hero too.
