President Obama spoke to Democratic Iowa caucus-goers via livestream earlier Tuesday night. Asked by a woman in Coralville asked, “Now in 2012, do you still believe in hope and change in America?” Obama replied, “In some ways, I’m actually more optimistic now than when I first ran. We’ve already seen change take place. 2012 is about reminding the American people how far we’ve traveled.”

Expect to see more messaging like this in the coming months.
