Political History in 2008
Senator Barack Obama has been elected president after grabbing 338 electoral votes. Now there’s a sentence I never would have thought would be possible to write. It is a rarity for me to write about politics or anything pertaining to it, however, I feel compelled to write about it now. When the presidential campaigning began, I was only mildly interested and never could have foreseen what happened tonight. My interest in the presidential race peaked in the Spring as it became more interesting, but I never would have guessed the results would be what they are. Tonight, the people spoke loudly by voting for what they wanted and in turn, helped to make history. For good or bad, this election is definitely one for the books and I am happy to have to have witnessed it.
