   zone,

   The article you linked reads as follows:

   A few months ago, Barack Obama was just an underdog Democratic candidate for a Senate seat, unknown even to many people in his home state of Illinois.

   Now he’s the newest star in his party, the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention, a black candidate with a strong following among white voters.

   If elected this fall, Obama, 42, would become the United States Senate’s only black member, and only the fifth in history.

   His chances are good, especially since Illinois Republicans have not yet come up with someone to run against him after their nominee dropped out amid a sex scandal.

   Obama, a state senator from a Chicago district, lagged in early polls for the Democratic US Senate nomination.

   But he won the primary election with huge support among black voters and a strong showing among whites, even in areas where he had done little campaigning.

   They learned his story, a community activist who became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review and then returned to registering voters on Chicago’s south side.

   Obama later became a civil rights attorney and then began teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He was elected to the state Senate in 1996.

   His family background is even more unusual.

   Obama’s father, also named Barack, was a Kenyan who studied for several years in the United States.

   His mother was a white woman from Kansas who moved to Hawaii, where the couple met.

   They divorced while Obama was an infant, and he met his father only once after that.

   The son wrote a book, “Dreams From My Father,” about their broken relationship and about growing up half-white and half-black in America.

   Obama was raised in Hawaii by his mother and grandparents and in Indonesia, where he lived for several years with his mother and her second husband.

   Now married and the father of two girls, Obama has developed a reputation in the state Capitol as a legislator with liberal goals and a practical approach to achieving them.

   Birther fail.

   Try again.
