"Election 08"

Explain your reaction to last nights election. Questions to consider: Why did Obama have such a clear victory - what has been going on that made so many people vote Democrat? What are some of the key states that Obama won? Did you think the election was going to be closer? And now what? What are some of the challenges that Obama faces? Also, people all over the world were happy that Obama won - why?

Last nights election was an election that is definitely going down in history. Many people are confused about how Obama had such a great lead, and a clear victory. I personally believe that the cause of this was because on George W. Bush. Many people were scared of what the turn out would have been if we had another Republican president. Even though McCain had his differences from Bush, the name republican scared many, and they wanted a "CHANGE".
A major state what declared Obama's win was Ohio. Ohio played a big role, because a Republican must almost always win Ohio, to win the presidency. Another state was Pennsylvania. Once Barack Obama won Ohio, and Pennsylvania it was pretty clear that he was going to be our next president, and it was true.
