Obama to Run for the Presidency
It's all but official. U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D, IL) will run for the Presidency of the United States as a Democrat in 2008.
The Senator himself has not said those exact words. However, he has started sending out unsolicited Christmas cards to likely primary voters in Michigan - especially in key Democratic areas such as Detroit.
And the only reason a U.S. Senator from Illinois would even think about doing that is if he had already decided to run for the White House.
