A BLACK senator with only two years in office has emerged as the star of the Democrats’ campaign for next month’s mid-term elections.
Kenyan-born Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination.
Another scenario sees him as Mrs Clinton’s running mate, raising the possibility of a first female president and first black vice-president in 2008.
Mr Obama is disproving the adage that Washington is “Hollywood for ugly people’’.
He is the Denzil Washington of Capitol Hill, bringing glamour to the staid hallways of the Senate. This week, he was given the ultimate glamour accolade: the front cover of Men’s Vogue.
Accompanied by pictures taken by Annie Liebowitz, photographer to the great and glamorous, the magazine’s article is headlined Barack Obama: The Path to Power.
Mr Obama has been careful not to rule himself out of the presidential race and has been tagged for greatness since he delivered the best speech at the Democratic convention in Boston two years ago.
“What gives people a jolt in their gut about the idea of President Obama is that it would be a ringing symbol that racism no longer rules our land,’’ argues John McWhorter, a leading black intellectual.
Mr Obama, a civil rights lawyer, was the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review. Some observers say he possesses charisma on a par with Mrs Clinton’s husband Bill, the last Democrat president.
He was elected as a senator for Illinois in 2004 by a landslide.
He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, and promises the prospect of national reconciliation on racial issues.
The prospect of an Obama candidacy is especially appealing to those Democrats desperately searching for an alternative to Mrs Clinton, the front-runner to win her party’s presidential nomination.

We need to send this thread to Judge Carter! LOL
Send it to Judge Carter and ask him how are incompetent judges in his state, recalled.
Because he forced the divorce information on Ryan to come out. Obama got rid of his opposition.
This is why so many question obama's tactics. He has certain rules for others but different ones for him.
