Obama in '08?

The Democratic field for the next U.S. presidential election is filling up ... and getting interesting.

Senator Barack Obama announced his candidacy Tuesday, saying the U.S. is in a "precarious place" and that Americans are hungry for a new type of political leadership.

Other Democrats who have announced a campaign or exploratory committee are 2004 vice presidential nominee John Edwards, former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich and Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden. New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton hasn't announced yet, but she's expected to be a front-runner.
