This is the thrilling, inspirational story of Obama's first Presidential campaign, as told by those who lived it. In the year leading up to the Iowa Caucuses, few thought a freshman senator named Barack Hussein Obama would be able to win the Democratic nomination - not to mention become the country's first black president. But something was stirring. Hundreds of young people from all over the country, inspired by a message of hope and change, began assembling in Iowa. These 'kids' became the foundation of one of the most improbable presidential campaigns of our lifetime. What compelled them to uproot their lives and join a nascent movement considered such a longshot? And what was so unique about Obama's organization that future candidates, aides, volunteers, and activists can learn from? Chris Liddell-Westefeld was one of those kids.
