Tonight there was another Democratic presidential candidate debate at Drexel University in Pennsylvania. This time Obama took Hillary Clinton to task on her record and her evasion of questions. While many of the other candidates, such as Edwards and Biden attacked Clinton as well, Obama continued to promote his positive message and made the case for his being more of a uniter than Hillary Clinton could be. I'm glad to have seen Obama handle this well. He is not a negative campaigner and it is obvious that this sort of distinction-drawing with fellow Democrats does not come easily, but he handled himself well, and I firmly expect the polls to reflect a loss for Clinton and a gain for Obama. I think Obama has a real shot at winning the Iowa caucus. I hope Obama has gained the momentum he needs and this will carry him though to the final election as President!

About Me
- Matt
- Lima, Ohio, United States
- I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.

....and Hillary doesn't like it. Is what they are saying about Obama's ideas on health care "changing" or "flip flopping" all the time? I hope he has a vision for this problem and one that is manageable. In this great country, no one should have to give up seeing a doctor in order to eat. Prevention is a much better way to go in the long run.
Obama writes about this in his books. His plan is both comprehensive - he wants everyone covered, but also practical - he will work with the existing structures to achieve that goal.
