Generation Obama: Politics 2

One sorta helpful resource, for those of us -- including Peter Canellos -- who can't call to mind many US politicians on the national stage born from the mid-1950s through the mid-'60s is the website The Political Graveyard. Oddly enough, they haven't updated Obama's profile since 2004; and at that time, they didn't seem to know his date of birth. So although he's in the database, he doesn't show up on the 1961 page. (Mary Bono does, though.) So, like I said, it's sorta helpful. Let me know if there's a better resource out there.

Here's a list of links to Political Graveyard pages, by date:
1956 | 1957 | 1958 | 1959 | 1960 | 1961 | 1962 | 1963 | 1964 | 1965
