• Throughout the campaign he has been seen as the "fresh face in the race."

• Where does he stand? He supports universal health care, full troop withdrawal from Iraq, civil unions for gay couples, better pay for teachers, and researching more renewable energy.

• The deal: His wife agreed to let him run for president on one condition . . . that he quit smoking. Now she says she'll dish 50 big ones to any campaign staffer who catches Barack with a cigarette and promptly reports back to her! Way to go, Michelle!

• What's the worry? Some people are concerned about Barack's lack of experience. (He's a one-term senator.) Barack supporters say they're fed up with veterans of the current political shenanigans and are ready for something new! So the question becomes: Is being a political veteran the only way to get a ticket on the White House Express?

• Who's Barack's fave TV character? SpongeBob Squarepants!

• Obama's known for having a ton of youth support and a lot of fab endorsements. So what do you think? Will he Barack the vote?
