Coalition Of The Willing

The results of the Iowa caucus last night seem to represent what the President's coalition could not. According to the Agence France-Presse (AFP) Senator Obama won 37.6% of the vote against 29.8% for Sen Edwards and a somewhat surprising 29.5% for Sen Clinton.

All indications are that Sen Obama's win was made possible by democrats, independents and republicans alike. The common denominator across these groups is 'change', and Sen Obama's representation as the best chance for it!

It would seem that people (no matter their political slant) are forming a coalition. And what's more is that this coalition is truly one with willing participants. Unlike the Iraq Coalition Forces these disparate groups have come together without coercion and quite simply it seems because it's the right thing to do.
