A freshman senator with an atypical political background, Barack Obama, D-Ill., became one of the leading candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination when he joined the race in February.
Obama has tried to distinguish himself from his more experienced rivals by asserting that it’s time for new ideas and leadership. In an effort to appeal to voters who oppose the Iraq war, he notes frequently that he opposed the Iraq war in 2002 when Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, former Sen. John Edwards and other Democrats voted to authorize the use of force against Iraq. Obama wants U.S. troops withdrawn from Iraq in 2008.
