“I am not running for president. I am not running for president in four years. I am not running for president in 2008. I have never set foot in the U.S. Senate. I’ve never worked in Washington. And the notion that somehow I’m immediately going to start running for higher office just doesn’t make sense. So look, I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years, and my entire focus is making sure that I’m the best possible senator on behalf of the people of Illinois.I am not running for president in 2008. I mean, come on guys. The only reason I’m being definitive is because, until I’m definitive, you will keep asking me this question, but it’s a silly question.”
- Barack Obama in 2004 after winning an election for State Senate.
