Obama Wins Another One: The Alaska Caucuses

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama picked up yet another victory in a "small" (or sparsely populated) state, winning the Democratic caucuses in Alaska.

The Obama campaign's strategy has been to concentrate much of its resources on these less-populated states in an effort to counteract the victories that polls showed Sen. Hillary Clinton could win in vote-rich states like New York and California — states where she did win tonight.

Obama will do well because he's a candidate with the vision and determination to make a difference. Voters want a change for a " UNITED STATES" Today those two words are so significant to me and millions who are sick and tired of the same system of politics. I believe we have the opportunity to make a difference. At least I will feel proud that for the first time in my 69 yrs. I got involved, simply because I believe I can make a difference.
