I've been watching the MSNBC round table and they were basically saying that the enthusiasm is still very much alive and well for Obama in Iowa. That his team is very well organized on the ground and Iowa has a very high chance of going for Obama again. The MSM was so sure that no one would show up and that all the enthusiasm was gone, what a crock of shit. All together 25,000 I believe came out to support the President. One of the guest on the show pointed out, that's a lot of folks showing support for Obama who doesn't have an opponent. Its freezing cold in Iowa, they could've stayed home but chose to support the president, that's awesome!! Uncommitted my ass!!
