Since he gave a dynamic speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, Barack Obama had been gaining a lot of fans in the Democratic Party. He was a US senator who was eloquent, an excellent politician, and capable of inspiring crowd of people. In 2007, he announced he wanted to run for president. But first, he had to defeat other Democratic candidates who wanted the nomination, including his chief rival Hillary Clinton. Once he defeated her during an intense and often contentious primary process, Mr. Obama earned the nomination of his party, and he became the Democratic presidential nominee in 2008.
