What happened in Iowa last Thursday gave
us a little idea of what the United States is willing to do for the
next presidential elections. Though the selection process consists
of a long way; Obama's victory in the caucus with some 38% of the
vote marks a turning point in the US political history.
The contrast between Clinton and Obama is
visible; while Hillary Clinton is surrounded by well known faces
from Washington, Obama's speech appears to touch the feelings of
many voters. The word "change" pronounced by Obama many times has
penetrated deeply in the democratic side. On the other hand, Bill
Clinton appears to have lost some of his legendary political touch.
Though he remains popular with many Democrats, he seems oblivious
to the resentment within the Democratic "base". The advantage of
Barack over Hillary Clinton means more than a victory; Iowa's
triumph over race is a message to the world about the real nature
of America and a ratification of Obama's belief that this will be
an election year where everything is on the table.
However, Clinton is the first wife of a
former American president to run the office...basically no woman
has ever been nominated as a presidential candidate by a major
party. The 60-years-old lady is not giving up; actually, her
campaign already announced that it would dispatch former President
Clinton to New Hampshire for the next week seeking to resurrect the
Clinton's dynasty.
While the 46-year-old Illinois senator is
focused on Tuesday's New Hampshire presidential primary, Hillary
Clinton is ready to attack his political inexperience as she will
battle to prevent her rival from the democratic nomination.
Barack Obama is performing very well for
New Hampshire and already started building up an unstoppable
momentum. Iowa's triumph seems to have generated a turnout from
2004 statistics. Apparently, Iowa's decision was about style, and
US citizens seem to be looking for something different...maybe a
big change; the decision was not only pro-Obama, but visibly
anti-Clinton.
Now, all the attention is focused on New
Hampshire where the second round of Primaries will be held next
week. The temperature is also expected to be high the next
Republican debate with candidates as John McCain, who opinion polls
now show leading in New Hampshire after some months of
unpopularity.
