I don't know if there's a thread for this yet but what does everyone think of Barack Obama declaring his intention of running for United States President?

He's from my home state of Illinois, and he's a man opposed to Iraq and he's a minority. Sounds like my kind of guy.

Now I know he won't win the election (even though he's the first black man running for US presidency, he won't be the first black American president {like Hilary being a woman}) but it's exciting to see diversity finally have some sort of impact on the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) grasp of the US government.
