Make No Mistake: He's running
I watched Senator Obama's stump speech at the Iowa steak fry on C-SPAN last fall. He spoke for about fifteen minutes w/o notes and a teleprompter, since the event was outside. He finished to loud and sustained applause from the audience and left the lectern to meet audience members waiting behind a rope, laughing, posing for photo-ops from cel-phone cameras, and signing autographs. The C-SPAN camera pulled away from a close-up of this to show a long line of people waiting for their opportunity to see him one on one that extended beyond the camera's view. That event was Senator Obama's moth-from-the-cocoon moment. Let's see if he can avoid licking or being licked by the flame the next two years.
