Even Republicans Like Him


When Obama visited Iowa, he attracted crowds larger than the state's own governor and presidential hopeful, Tom Vilsack, was able to muster. Iowans are typically late to pick favorites, but even some registered Republicans have succumbed.

Monica Green voted for George Bush last time. But at the town hall session, she was volunteering for Obama. She even contributed $250 to his campaign. She has never done that before, not even for a Republican. "I trust him when he says he wants to transform politics," she says. "Just call me a Republican voting for Barack Obama."
