Why Obama Won Iowa. How He Could Sweep to the Nomination

"A goosebump moment...(it) does turn a page in the life of the nation." -- Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post. Read some of the other analysis on the Obama web site.
Lifted by a huge turnout, double the number who turned out in 2004, Senator Barack Obama won even female voters in the Iowa Caucuses. I've been following Obama closely, and wasn't all that surprised by the result. Here's what I've written on my blog about Obama in the last two years:

Wow. You've been busy.
Thanks for cross-posting this here. I'll look forward to wading through your background stuff.
A long-time friend of mine, a cynic by almost any standard, has been moved nearly to tears by the Obama campaign. That's pretty impressive all by itself.
You have done a lot of work.
I'm wondering why this is a surprise:
Contrary to how we behave at the mall and movie theaters, we don't do everything in packs you know. We've been known to disagree with each other, and even mud wrestle on occasion. :)
Seriously - thanks for all of the links - Obama has been running a great campaign,and although Edwards is my first choice, I'd be happy to see Obama get the nomination as well.
Be the change you wish to see in the world. --Gandhi
