Obama's Decision and Condi Rice

Amid the news of the Senator playing golf, the Chicago Tribune reports that Senator Obama will make his decision on a presidential run during a stay in his native Hawaii.

According to the Naperville Sun, a new Gallup poll reveals that 33% of Americans haven't heard of Senator Obama. Senator Clinton, though with high name recognition, drew 42% unfavorables in the poll (polarizing, no?) But a good quote from a local Illinois professor:

"He has a way to go to get into the Hillary Clinton league'' in terms of recognition, Jackson said. On the other hand, "he can still define himself for that 47 percent'' - the 33 percent who don't know Obama from Adam and the 14 percent who said they don't know much about him.

SecState Rice mentions, among other things, that America is ready for a black president in this AP story per Yahoo.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately; it's the holidays. Merry Christmas!
