Sen. Barack Obama said Sunday that he may run for president in 2008, despite previous assertions that he would complete his current six-year senatorial term, which ends in 2011.

See? Even the conservatives are sick of lame candidates coming out of the Democratic party nomination process.

Barak ’08. Sounds good to me.
