Opportunities for Obama

While Obama's loss in New Hampshire was unexpected, resulting in a real contest for the Democratic nomination, there is an opportunity for Obama to develop a real and significant coalition.

Until now, rhetoric and charisma were the driving force igniting the feelings that he could really make a difference. Proposals for change were relatively few and most often, were not that different from other candidates.

If he really wants to make a difference, he may well benefit from more detailed proposals, even some which are a reach for the American public. Should he then get nominated and elected, he could assume a mandate for more extensive changes that, in fact, would make him truly historic.
