It’s final! Obama’s running for Presidency

It seems Blackberries all over the US are buzzing with the rumour. I was anxious this morning, but now it’s sure.

Come on Hotnews… don’t disappoint me. You’re supposedly at the forefront of Romanian media… and nothing yet about Obama’s nomination…

Andreea, the article’s a must for your thesis! :)

See below the branding of American presidential candidates in a nutshell… My love-mark stands out in the picture :)
