Novak: Obama "probably" will announce presidential exploratory committee "this week"

This note from Bob Novak's Saturday column:

EXPLORER OBAMA

"Sen. Barack Obama informed a major Democratic financial contributor that he probably will announce formation of a 2008 presidential exploration committee this coming week, which starts with Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday.

A political source close to Obama told this column he was not sure the exploratory committee would be named that early but added that probably would happen during the next three weeks. Actual announcement of his candidacy would come later.

A footnote: Obama canceled tentative plans to deliver the keynote address for Martin Luther King Jr. Day ceremonies at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. University officials speculated that Obama's travel has been temporarily suspended as he approaches the start of his presidential candidacy."
