Obama's E-Announcement
Further illustrating the vital role of the Internet in the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama made public his intent to file a presidential exploratory committee.
With no speech or media appearance to accompany his online announcement, Obama relied primarily on Internet video to convey his message. He is expected to spend the upcoming weeks discussing a presidential campaign around the country before holding an event on February 10th in his home state, Illinois, to make known the results of his exploration.
Other Democrats who have announced a campaign or exploratory committee are 2004 vice presidential nominee John Edwards, former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich. Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Joe Biden of Delaware and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson also are considering a run.
