Barack Obama to announce on MLK day?

Mon Jan 08, 2007 at 04:26:00 PM PDT

Thats the rumor spreading throughout DC.  This from Political Insider:

There is growing speculation in Democratic political circles that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) will announce his presidential intentions on Martin Luther King Day. That timing would certainly highlight the historic nature of his candidacy.

-- Helvidius

Of course I'm biased and a big Obama fan but I'd like to gage the support of fellow Kossacks.  I know a lot of people argue that he has little experience and hasn't really done much in Congress but if you look at his record, you'll find that's not the case at all.  In fact experience wise, Obama has roughly the same experience as Abraham Lincoln did when he became president.  Not to say he's like Lincoln but he is a tall, lanky, big eared lawyer from Illinois.
