1. Obama - The First Black President!

I think this is an historic moment.

Obama 2012!

Only off by 4 years, but then we all thought it'd be 2 terms of President Kerry!

10. But he's talking about Obama running for the senate seat here in IL

so I don't know if that should count.

I saw a thread here earlier where DainBramaged had suggested an '08 run for Obama right after Kerry lost on '04.

11. Yes, but in the thread

someone states Durbin could be the next President and the respondent replies Obama is the one to watch. Yes, it's about the Senate seat, but a little foreshadowing as well.

Exceedingly fine DUer Guy Whitey Corngood was formerly "SMIRKY_W_BINLADEN"?

I wasn't here in '04, hadn't learned of DU...
