Barack Obama

There is an article in The New Yorker about Barack Obama. I hadn't ever heard of him, but he's running for the Senate after seven years in the Illinois legislature, and he's on fire. His personal story is very interesting -- Kenyan father, white mother, grew up in Hawaii, attended Harvard Law -- and his recent and potential political impact sounds impressive. Any of you Chicagoans heard this guy speak?
