My Election Reflections

I am satisfied with the result of the 2008 election between Barack Obama and John McCain.The winner was Barack Obama. I am so excited he became the next president of the United States. He believes in change and I do too. I think over the next four years that he will make the best choice for our country. This was the first election that I followed thoroughly and enjoyed to watch the evolution of the race. After seeing the outcome of the race I believe that our country has a system that works and a lot of people trust in. If we had to change it I believe I would change how the electoral votes were distributed throughout each state. But besides that I think that the electoral college will find the person that is most fit for our country. The prediction of my electoral map was pretty close. But I had a few wrong with the toss-up states that I had to make a guess on. The biggest upset I had in my prediction was Montana. I really thought it would go to Obama. I also had a few good guesses on my map too. I was most excited about Ohio. As you probably know John McCain really wanted to win Ohio, but I just didn't think he would win. And I guessed correct. My gallup poll research deffinately did support the winner of the election.
