Barack Obama Gains Momentum in Iowa

I was pleased to see the recent Newsweek Poll showing Barack Obama in the lead with likely Iowa caucus voters.

Newsweek asked, "If you were attending a Democratic caucus TODAY, which ONE of the following eight presidential candidates are you most likely to support?"

The poll results for the top three candidates were:

1. Barack Obama (28%)
2. Hillary Clinton (24%)
3. John Edwards (22%)

The inevitability of a Hillary Clinton nomination is blown away when Obama wins the Iowa primary in January 2008. Anyhow, this was the first time that I've seen Obama leading in any poll.

I wonder if the people talking to the pollsters will follow their convictions and pull the voting lever for a Black man?
