Barack Obama's clear victory in Iowa last night was quite impressive. Same can be said about Mr. Huckabee. Americans want "new and different", and who can blame them? It has been simply exhausting to watch the Bush administration squander all that was good in this country.
It will take a while to right the course of the ship called America because it's been going in the wrong direction for so long. Last night I saw the movie "Charlie Wilson's War" and it renewed my faith in the America that was and that could be, once again. I know, it's just a movie, but it oozed the "gentler, kinder" America that I want to believe in. A place where politicians are real people with real flaws and real hearts.
I do worry about Mr. Obama getting the nomination and being torn to shreds by the likes of Karl Rove. But perhaps times have really changed and people no longer tolerate hate mongering and smear.
Let's see what happens next week in New Hampshire...
