‘Students made the difference’
Rallying the crowd, Idaho Obama volunteers T.J. Thomson and Kassi Cerami led the crowd in sending text messages with their cell phones that will get the senders regular updates on the Obama campaign, and talked up the upcoming caucus. Even 17-year-olds can participate in Tuesday’s caucuses, if they’ll be 18 in time for the November election, Cerami noted. “Seventeen-year-olds, let’s go Barack the vote,” she told the crowd, drawing a big cheer. “Students made the difference in Iowa, students made the difference,” she said.
