The Change is Barack Obama: Is the Change Good or Bad?


The Change is Barack Obama: Is the Change Good or Bad?

Change we need.... and change has come. Democratic Illinois senator Barack Obama has been elected as the first black president of the USA. Obama leading the race by 338 to 156 as few results has to come and much ahead of essential 270 electoral college votes.

Obama captured the key battleground states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, while projections showed he had also taken California and a slew of other states. Then came the news that he had also seized Florida, Virginia and Colorado, all of which voted Republican in 2004, the country is turning from Red to Blue.

In Indiana and North Carolina, with most of the vote counted, there was less than 0.5% differance between the two candidates. At 0440 GMT it stood at 51.1% in the favour of Illinois Democratic Senator, against 47.7% for Arizona Republican Senator McCain.

John McCain has accepted defeat and given best wishes to next US president. President George W Bush als Congratiulate his predecessor.

2008 US Election - Is McCaine ready for Third and Final Debate vs Obama?


2008 US Election - Is McCaine ready for Third and Final Debate vs Obama?

Third and final presidential debate for the race of White House between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain starting at 0100 GMT at Hofstra University on Long Island. This is the last chance for McCain to bounce back as just 19 days to go for November 4 vote.

37 year old Illinois senator Barack Obama leading by 14 points to 72 year old rival Arizona senator John McCain in one of the latest poll in United States.

A latest poll by New York Times-CBS News on late Tuesday had Obama ahead of McCain by the big margin of 14 points, 53 to 39 percent, compared to a lead of just three points before last week's second presidential debate.

All the negative tactics was back fired to McCain like Obama's links to 1960s radical turned Chicago education professor William Ayers.

Another new survey by the Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg showed Obama was ahead by nine points, 50 to 41 percent. As the economy is the major concern for Americans right now, and Obama was their preferred candidate.

Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, "Obama will talk about he's doing for weeks, i.e. will talk about his plan for the economy".

Hope it will be a fair debate before the November 4 election and McCain will show some positive attitude against Obama.
