Hopeful fans airing TV ad

 •  'Obama-mania' swells as decision on '08 approaches

Associated Press

As Illinois Sen. Barack Obama ponders his future while vacationing here in Hawai'i for the holidays, a grassroots group of fans has a present waiting.

The group, http://Draftobama.org, plans to run an ad this morning on local TV stations to try to persuade Obama to run for president.

The ad, called "Believe Again," is a one-minute voice clip of Obama's keynote speech to the 2004 Democratic National Convention played as a montage of photographs scrolls across the screen.

Obama is expected to announce his decision next month.
