I still remember the first person who told me Barack Obama was going to be president. It may surprise you.
It was shortly after Obama announced his candidacy, then stunned everyone by winning the Iowa Caucus.
Suddenly, this little-known junior senator from Illinois who had a moment in the spotlight with a speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004, was on the map.
He also captured the attention of someone here in Delaware County.
Charlie Sexton knows a little something about politics, and how to win campaigns.
So when he told me how much he was impressed with Obama, and that he had never seen anyone have that kind of effect on voters, I listened.
Turns out Charlie, as usual, was right on the money.
