Obama won’t run for Pres in '08 - the Dems will be running Kerry for re-election that year. Maybe in 2012. And that will give Obama some time to establish himself as a Senator.

I’m a conservative Texan, and I just don’t see any way in hell that Bush can win this year. And I’m OK with that, as long as there’s a Republican congress.
