Saying he is the best chance for the Democrats in November, Barack Obama brought a message of hope to Marshalltown during a campaign stop Thursday.

"This is our moment. This is our time," Obama told the crowd of approximately 300. "If you stand with us in seven days … if you stand for change so that our children will have the same chance that was given to us ... then we will win this caucus, and we will win this election and we will change the course of history."

...He cited polls showing he may be the only Democrat who would win a general election against all five of the top Republicans. Obama credited that to his ability to reach across political boundaries that commonly divide Americans.
