Today, people all around the state of Iowa came out to caucus for someone, nobody thought could beat the political machine, Senator Barack Obama.  Today, Iowans voted for change.   They voted for a new direction in this country.  Barack Obama's message of hope resounded with the people of this great nation.  American might be saved because of the people of Iowa tonight.  Barack Obama is unlike any other candidate in American history.  He is someone who transcends parties and can reach out to those left behind by our system.   In a government that has left so many behind, we need a leader with the ability to lead, not just empty experience that has breed conformity.  I was wrong ever to support Hillary Clinton or John Edwards.  They are not what our country needs.  Barack Obama is what our nation needs.  If we give up this man, then we are giving up an man who can save our nation from an all but certain doom.  If we don't stand up and support this man, we could give up our nation's only hope.  I am ready to believe again.  I am ready to hope again.  I am inspired.  This is the new Democratic Party that  combines the best of our former parties.  We have the progressive agenda coupled with our commitment to working people in this nation.  We can finally bridge this racial gap in this country with the first African American president.  I ask you to join with me today in standing with this great American and to fight for our future.  Bobby Kennedy never got this chance, neither did Martin Luther King.  We have our chance.  Let us rise up to this occasion, and take back our country for change.  Say no to business as usual forever.  Vote for Barack Obama.
