Dennis Kucinich, nope it's not John Edwards.
dcshungu, no it is not impossible.
It's not the time for "big ideas", it's time for known solutions to known problems that have been sitting on Democratic Party platforms for decades or gathering dust in the DNC archives for failed and even elected politicians. Instead of "hope", let's have a "judgment fest" and think about exactly what Americans are paying the price for Clinton and Edwards and their judgment failure in 2002.
Support Obama in the Iowa caucus!

DTM wrote on December 31, 2007 11:12 PM:Um, obviously the ad is referring to a person who goes to a caucus (the argument in question starts with "One voice can change a room").

You can say that again. Look what George W. Bush did in less than 3 years in office.
Yes one man/woman can change America. I happen to think that person is Barack Obama.

IT DOES TAKE A VILLAGE
I do not think ONE person can make the changes in the political world that are necessary for the U.S. to live in peace within its borders and learn to respect other countries rights to live as they want, also within their borders.
I think it takes a "VILLAGE" to make a change in the world, alone it would be a formidable task.
"IT TAKES A VILLAGE"
That phrase sounded good when Hillary Clinton said it years ago, and it still has merit today. The meaning of this phrase might not have meant exactly the same as how I am using it here, however I I believe if the "VILLAGE" has a strong and motivated leader their accomplishments can make a great impact not only on the United States, but also on the countries we must come to terms with.
This ad conjures up Gandhi, Martin Luther King, but c'mon, Barack Obama is neither of these - he hasn't done the work, proven his capability; changed, the world. He's only done the marketing package.

I'm sure he'll change the world, but he can't do it alone. Who'll help him? I know! His friends--corporate lobbyists:

Obama is the Washington status quo; that's why he'll win the nomination and the presidency--at our expense.

Again, he is clearly talking about a caucus-goer, not himself.
Nathan,
I suggest you check out the Iraq De-Escalation Act of 2007, which Obama introduced in the Senate in early 2007. It basically lays out his plan for Iraq.
