Barack Obama announces candidacy for President

Sen. Barack Obama has declared he wants to be the Democratic choice for president in next year's election.

"Obama stood on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois, Saturday and said he wanted to follow Abraham Lincoln from the Illinois Legislature to the White House. "It's time to turn a page, right here and right now," he told a cheering and chanting crowd. "Let's get to work."" This is sure an exciting candidate and I loved his speech on the steps of the historic structure. His campaign website has a nice warm fuzzy web 2.0 feel and exhorts you to create profiles and blog on his website. It is all about participating this election. Sounds like fun!
