Really? I never knew that, does that stop him from running in 2008?

No. The Constitution only requires one to be a "natural born citizen". There is no requirement to born in the United States if by birth one has US citizenship. Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona before it was a state, but that didn't stop him from running for president in 1964.
