Barack Obama is lilely to be the next POTUS not only because people are ready for a change but also because he is running a superior political campaign as compared to his adversaries. His campaign's organizational strengths first took down Hillary Clinton, now he's going to take down John McCain. In contested states the Obama Campaign has opened 194 field offices as compared to 60 for McCain and the GOP. Targeting likely voters and winning the "early voting war" are keys to victory, and Obama is well ahead. The candidate who gets the most voters to the polls wins, and that appears to be Obama.
