The movement continues. Obama is unstoppable. When compared to JMC's $11 Million and donor base, Obama's success is immense.
The core of the story: Success is based on the voter base in this election period and the one who gathers the most broad base of supporters will reach the desired lands.

Jimmy Carter hints he'd support Obama - Barack Obama News - MSNBC.com
Former President Carter left little doubt this week about whom he'd like to see in the White House next year.
Speaking to local reporters Wednesday on a trip to Nigeria, the former Democratic president noted that Barack Obama had won his home state of Georgia and his hometown of Plains.
"My children and their spouses are pro-Obama. My grandchildren are also pro-Obama," he said at a news conference, according to the Nigerian newspaper This Day. "As a superdelegate, I would not disclose who I am rooting for, but I leave you to make that guess."
