Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is officially in the race for President now. Needless to say, there are stories everywhere about him and how he chose to announce on the steps of the state capitol in Springfield, where Abraham Lincoln gave his famous "House divided" speech on 1858." Of course, Lincoln wasn't a Democrat; he was the founder of the Republican party. How things change. In 1858 the Democrats were a conservative party centered in the South, whereas the Republicans were liberals from the North. Here are a few links to Obama stories:
