It's no surprise Washington is stuck in the rut it's in, where lobbyists set the agenda and people talk endlessly about our problems without ever coming together to fix them.
But in Nevada, New Hampshire, Iowa, and across America, something amazing has happened over the past 11 months. People from all walks of life -- young, old, black, white, Latino, Asian American -- are excited about this movement.
That's why a Zogby poll conducted December 12-14 shows Barack Obama as the most electable candidate in this race and the only Democrat who is leading every potential Republican challenger:

In just the past few days, Democratic senators and governors from traditionally Republican states like Arizona, Nebraska, and South Dakota have endorsed Barack because of what these numbers show -- that Barack can bring millions of new people into the political process and compete all across the country.
Check out what some "Red State" Democrats have said about Barack -- and find your caucus location so we can make history this Saturday, January 19 at 11:00 a.m.:
Many of our supporters have never been involved in politics before.
They're young people who've felt that their government wasn't listening to them. They're Democrats, Independents, and even Republicans who've been shut out and disappointed by the same old Washington games.
But they know that we have a rare opportunity in the next three days.
We don't have to keep settling for what the cynics tell us we must accept. In this election, we can reach for what we know is possible.
That's not just how we'll win in November -- it's how we'll govern for the next four years and finally start solving the problems politicians keep talking about.
