Media from around the world are descending upon Springfield, Illinois for tomorrow's announcement from Sen. Barack Obama that he'll be running for president in 2008.
If you're among that throng, you may want to read my take on my state capital here.
The Old State Capitol, pictured above, where Abraham Lincoln made his famous "House Divided" speech, is where Obama will speak tomorrow.
It will be an Obama weekend--after the announcement, Illinois' junior senator will fly to Iowa and then to New Hampshire.
On Sunday, Obama will be profiled on 60 Minutes by Steve Kroft.
Back to Springfield. If you're in the area, then stop by the Old State Capitol--there's no charge to attend the Obama event.
