Interesting article in the Daily Times Herald in Carroll Iowa, they seem to think Obama can win the Iowa primary. Maybe, it is expected that he will announce soon. As he said, nobody runs for Vice President. In that he is right, but many Presidential candidates end up being tapped for the V.P. spot. I suspect that even though Obama’s star has had a meteoric rise, he and the rest of sane America, with the times as they are, would be unwilling to hand over this country someone yet seasoned. He is running for V.P. in my humble opinion and Clark/Obama all the way.

“Most recent national campaigns are won in the Midwest,” Knott said. “Right now the Illinois senator is looking like a winner, knows the Midwest, is liberal enough and - most important for some - he is not Hillary.”

Knott says Obama can transcend race in Iowa.

“Some say Iowa is not exactly the audience for an African American and women to launch history-making campaigns,” Knott said. “But Barack and Hillary, with their unique star qualities, will likely increase the usual turnout.”
