Sen. Barack Obama Makes It Official - He's Running for President in '08!

Officially announcing that he will run for the position of the next U.S. President, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was CHEERFULLY received by what appeared to be hundreds of well wishers braving the cold temperatures in Springfield, Ill., just to hear the senator's declaration that he has officially entered the race for president.

I watched that. He motivated me. I liked the way he acknowledged the concern about his lack of experience. I would like to know the details of the plan he mentioned to get troops out of Iraq by March 2008.

Hillary will win and Osama will be the 1st black VP.
This is shaping up to be the most exciting and intriguing Presidency in history and this will be making history as well. 2 women being discussed as Presidential candidates (Rice) and a Brother that has a serious chance to win, but Hillary (not saying my favorite just my prediction) will win.

William, do you believe that Hillary will win because of the enduring admiration held by the masses for former President (William) Bill Clinton?
