Barack Obama is a fresh young senator that lately has been a money making machine. He is running well againist Hillary, but there are several problems that also make him a target for Republicans. He is in his first year as a senator, has no foreign policy experience, and is an African-American, which sadly still matters to some people. Despite these problems, he is on Hillary's heels, and is matching up very well againist the top Republican candidates. He is one watch for in the future.
