Barack Obama won by a landslide last night (349 to 147 Electoral Votes, however,the popular vote was shows a closer margin of 52% to 48%) sending him to the White House to face one of toughest financial crisis of our time.
Obama won in part because voters came out in a lot of key states (Colorado and Virgina) that are not usually considered to be Democratic.
And his victory reflected the accuracy of his vision of a reshaped country. Racism, much discussed, turned out to be a footnote, and African-American turnout was not unusually high. Instead, Obama drew his strength from an array of racially mixed, growing areas around cities like Orlando, Washington, Indianapolis, and Columbus on his way to at least 334 electoral votes.
McCain graciously committed to continue to serve our country and work hard to work as one to bring our country back to prosperity.
I feel for the small businesses and companies that will see their capital gains taxes triple, but at the moment it appears America wants change at the cost of a bigger (more socialist) government. I pray our new leader does a good job and does indeed invoke change for better.
