Barack Obama, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Illinois, describes himself as “a skinny guy with a funny name.” Pundits call him the rock star of the Democratic Party. A Harvard brainiac who dazzles crowds and wows donors, Obama, the son of a Kenyan and a Kansan, would be just the third African-American in the Senate since Reconstruction. He’s good.
