After a decisive win in South Carolina, Democratic Presidential candidate and Illinois Senator, Barack Obama brought his campaign to Macon.
"Can I get an Amen on that?"
Sounding more like a preacher than a politician Obama addressed parishioners at Harvest Cathedral. The non-denominational church is one of the few in Macon that actually has a diverse congregation.
He quoted scripture and shared his own story of baptism and conversion at Trinity Church of Christ in Chicago. He also praised Harvest's diverse congregation, calling it a testimony of what is possible.
"Twenty years ago this wasn't possible. Ten years ago this might not have been possible. But we are a witness to what is possible because God makes all things possible."
Obama wasn't the only Democratic presidential candidate to visit Middle Georgia. Senator John Edwards spent Sunday afternoon campaigning in Dublin.
