Obama officially running in 2008

In Springfield, Illinois, Democrat Brack Obama officially announced his candidacy for the Presidential election of 2008.

“We can build a more hopeful America,” Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery. “And that is why, in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a divided house to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still live, I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for president of the United States.”
