The 12 Days of the NH Primary: Day 7 (Iowa)

by: Delegator

Thu Jan 03, 2008 at 23:13:38 PM EST

On the 7th day to the primary my candidate gave to me

A SEVEN point margin of victory in Iowa,

SIX degrees on my thermometer,

five days to comment on legislation,

four hundred thousand volunteers,

three members of his family,

two cultural backgrounds,

and one outstanding orator!

I don't think much more needs to be said about Iowa other than that the turnout was phenomenal. The numbers I heard on MSNBC were that turnout was 84% higher than 2004, and twice that of the Republican side. Both women and 17-21-year-olds went strongly for Obama.

But it's no time for back-slapping based on what our compatriots in Iowa have achieved. It's time to roll up our sleeves and get out the vote to continue this momentum here in New Hampshire.
