Decision 2008: Barack Obama runs for president! Tancredo files as well.




Well as I'm sure you already know Illionis U.S. Senator and a Democratic pres. frontrunner, Barack Obama filed with the FEC to form a presidential exploratory committee. Obama will officially announce his campaign in about a month from Springfield, Illionis. Obama, a serious challenger to Hillary Clinton's run might force her to start her campaign soonner than she had hoped. Obama currently stands in a tie for the lead in Iowa and a close 2nd in New Hampshire. He is in a distant 3rd in South Carolina and in a distant 2nd in Nevada. Many expect a boost in his numbers upon his announcement and this boost could get him in striking distance of the top spot holder Hillary Clinton. We currently rank Obama in the #2 spot. Also this week Colorado U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo filed for an exploratory committee. He is a minor candidate now because of remarkes made about a month ago, but could be a dark horse. New polls are out of Iowa and Georgia showing a good numbers for Edwards, and a tie between Giuliani and McCain, with a slight 2-3 point lead for Giuliani.
