It was four years ago today (Feb. 10, 2007) that then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) announced his candidacy for president at the State House in Springfield, Illinois.

At this point in the ’08 cycle, 17 candidates had either already declared their candidacy or formed an official committee to begin raising money.
