Obama Enthusiam !

Posted by Bob MacLellan January 5, 2008 11:23 AM

The Democratic turnout in Iowa was fantastic. Obama has inspired a ton of young people to become active in the political arena and that in itself will help make America a stronger and better balanced country. I was at the Hundred Club Dinner last night and once again the young passion of Obama supporters was everywhere. I know other candidates can claim their support from the young, but the Obama campaing has really rekindled a torch. There are some who are complaing about the crowd surging to the front last night and they have their reasons. If you decide not to vote for a candidate because young people showed their enthusiasm, then the Obama campaign does not need your vote. I could list 100's of reasons why I decided not to vote for Hillary, but one of them is not because of the politics she plays. Political tricks and showmanship have been part of the Clinton playbook for decades. We will remain active over the next few days helping to get the vote out. On Monday my son and I are going up to Dixville Notch to film the historic voting at midnight. We are making a DVD for the History Channel and the NH Political Library. It should be interesting. Try to go see a candidate in the next few days and become part of the New Hampshire first in the Nation Primary.

About Primary voices The Boston Globe asked Democrats, Republicans and independents in three communities to blog for us as they decide who will get their vote in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary. The Democrats are from Henniker, the Republicans from Kingston and the independents are from Nashua.
