President-Elect Barack Obama

Approximately 12 midnight on November 4, 2008, President-Elect Obama, his wife Michelle and his two young daughters appeared on stage in front of an estimated 75-100,000 cheering fans in a Chicago park. Obama will be the 44th President of the United States and the first African-American to hold that esteemed office.

John McCain and Barack Obama debae

John McCain and Barack Obama met up one last time in their third televised debate on October 15th – this time in New York. McCain seemed to be either always on the attack or fidgeting in his seat during the entire debate. Obama, on the other hand, was respectful, thoughtful, soft-spoken and very deferential to McCain. They were a study in contrasts. It is not surprising that McCain’s polling numbers fell and Obama’s jumped up by several percentage points over the next two days.

A few compared it to the Nixon-Kennedy debate of 1960 . . . Most TV and independent polls gave the victory to Obama by an average 4 to 10-point margin. . . but true believers, as usual, were crediting their respective candidates with overwhelming victories no matter what the real result might have been.
