OBAMA TRIP TO IOWA INCREASES WHISPERS ABOUT '08 RUN.

Freshman US Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) was stumping in Iowa this weekend, with US Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) by his side. The ostensible purpose of the trip: promote Iowa Democratic candidates in the 2006 elections. First elected to the Senate just two years ago, the charismatic Obama previously discounted any interest in seeking the White House in 2008. His comments this weekend opened the door. "My only attentions right now are focused on '06. Whoever is looking toward 2008 without focusing on 2006 makes a mistake," said Obama, without disclaiming any interest in 2008.

Well, now, maybe that is something to get excited about.
