Now it's historic for another reason


Tonight Barack Obama was the clear and convincing winner of the Iowa caucus. Congratulations, Senator!

He announced his candidacy at this train station in Springfield. It was from here that another of Illinois' favorite sons left to become President in 1861. I think that Abraham Lincoln would enjoy it that Obama, a man who preaches conciliatory governing, kicked off his White House run from this famous spot.
