Sen. Barack Obama still hasn't made it official that he's running for president.
But that Feb. 10 announcement of his "decision" is looking ever more presidential, with the Obama "exploratory committee" daily adding new staffers to its ranks.
Today, Obama honcho David Plouffe officially announced the early members of the Iowa Leadership Team.
Paul Tewes, who will serve as state director, was the caucus manager for Al Gore's Iowa campaign in 2000.
Emily Parcell, the team's political director, managed the Iowa Senate Democrats' political operation during the 2004 and 2006 elections.
The team is working to "change politics in our country," Plouffe said in a letter to supporters on Wednesday. "And that starts in Iowa."
Plouffe is expected to serve as campaign manager for Obama. You know, if he runs.

I really hope Senator Obama runs, and even more, wins the election in '08. He could definitely lead American better than Bush could.

my husband and I are hoping to go down to Springfield on Feb 10 and he makes the announcement he is running!
Then I hope the first thing he does is crush hillary clinton.
