Barack Obama won the Presidential Election last night in a landslide, beating John McCain to become our 44th and first black President. It was a historic night that I will always remember.
My prediction for the final results was very close, and Obama actually won bigger than I thought he would. With 2 states still too close to call Obama leads 349-163, and they will likely split the last 2, leaving the probable final result to be 364-174. Obama also won the popular vote by 6%, which is higher than the 5% I predicted. I predicted 48/50 states correctly, with Indiana and probably North Carolina going to Obama instead of McCain.
All in all it was a very exciting election cycle that saw record numbers of participation, and I hope it stays like this forever. I will make a post about why I think McCain lost a little later after everything is wrapped up.
On another note, I have no idea what the hell I'm gonna write about now that the election is over. It was by far the biggest topic for me, and with me barely playing FFXI anymore I can't really focus on that. Well I'm sure I'll think of something to bitch about eventually, but for right now I'm feeling sky high.
