Run, Barack, Run

The obligatory "What if Barack Obama ran for president" post:

Previously, Barack Obama categorically ruled out a 2008 presidential bid, saying things like "I will serve out my six year term" to the media. According to the Chicago Tribune, however, something about the current atmosphere--be it Warner's exit or simply overwhelming pro-Dem sentiment--has got him rethinking his decision. I'm all for it; as Senator Durbin says in the article, does he really think that sticking around the Senate for another 4 years and casting another 1,000 votes will make him more qualified to run? The Nation blog, "The Notion," helpfully suggests that Barack would have a lock on the Facebook group race.
