Tom, a professor at Iowa State University, has been inspired by Barack's campaign since he first saw him speak at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames on February 11. Before that day, he was undecided about who to support, but seeing Barack in person made up his mind.
Tom was amazed by the reaction of the crowd at the event. He said:
Senator Obama really has the ability to inspire so many people. My 15 year old son was there, and after the event was over, he told me, 'he has to be our next president.'
As we went around the room and people talked about issues and the importance of caucusing, the passion kept building. Everyone just wanted to keep talking – finally it got late and I had to cut them off!
Tom is looking forward to making sure that everyone in his precinct turns out on caucus night – Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 6:30 PM.
Note: The Des Moines Register Debate is today and starts in 10 minutes at 1 PM CT – you can watch on CNN, MSNBC, Iowa Public Television or on IPTV.org.
