Today's Beautiful Thing is Barak Obama, who won the Iowa Democratic caucus. Don't get me wrong, I'm still an Edwards girl, but I have to acknowledge Barak's wonderful accomplishment as well as his incredibly moving speech. Tonight he sounded a whole lot like a cross between MLK Jr. and JFK--and what could be better? You could feel his momentum grow as he found his voice, and the excitement and love of his supporters roll through the room like a tidal wave. I've had my eye on him since he ran for his IL Senate seat, and tonight he came full circle. I think he's ready now. If he ends up being the Dem's presidential nominee, I'll feel really good about it, and that makes me glad.
