obama


It's really interesting to see Obama’s strong finish in Iowa. It think his win took everybody by surprise. It did for me. He’s won cross-section of Iowa even in rural areas where white population is dominant. What’s more interesting about his win is that the margin between the second and the first is huge. About 7.5 percentage point, that a black candidate winning by that margin is really jaw-dropping in a state where black population is merely 2 percent. This makes the contest in New Hampshire much more fascinating. I’m interested to know what the Clinton camp will decide to do against Obama. His win will no doubt give him a big boost to his popularity in New Hampshire.
