United States Democratic presidential candidates, 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Barack Obama, born August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S. Senator from Illinois. A 'draft Obama' movement began with his well-received 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote address. Obama was the featured speaker at Iowa Senator Tom Harkin's annual steak fry, a political event favored by presidential hopefuls in the lead-up to the Iowa caucus. He was endorsed by talk show host Oprah Winfrey in 2006. Various recent opinion polls have seen Obama trailing only Hillary Clinton in several polls. If elected, he would become the first part African-American President of the United States. Obama announced on February 10, 2007, that he will run in 2008. He has filed the official paperwork."
