No. He wasn't even a Senator at the time. The perfect storm that led to his election in fact relies on Kerry being the nominee in 2004 and Kerry's team selecting Obama to be the keynote speaker.
Is there any way Obama could of ran for president run In 2008?
And when i said on the net "Maybe Obama will be the next Democratic frontrunner in 2008" after the election everyone told me that he was to experienced and wouldnt stand a chanse.

Well he's only 43 years old by Election Day 2004. By early 2003 when he would be considering a run, he's a mere state legislator in Illinois.
Even if the POD is Bobby Rush somehow imploding in the 2000 primary, Obama is still only in the House of Representatives.
A long-term POD is needed.

Maybe Representative Obama makes a name for himself as an opponent of the Iraq War.
Well it ain't gonna happen without a POD at least four years prior to 2004. Maybe he could be elected Governor of Illinois or something...
