the election
The election was overall a good race. In my opinion, i felt like both of the presidents would have done a good job. Both were looking at similar crucial issues with out society like the economy. Sixty percent people felt the needed to vote for another president for econmy issues. When it was a few years ago, the main issue was on the war. Also in my opnion, I feel like alot of people voted Obama because of now ex president Bush. President Bush last term around really gave a bad rep on the Republican party. Alot of people voted democrate this time around. This was not to say that McCain would not have been a good president. Even though McCain lost the electoral vote by 179 electoral votes, the popular vote was only off by a couple million which says almost half of american wanted McCain. But yesterday made history with the United States first African American president.

I agree that after Bush no republican stood a chance in this election. I am not a republican and i will hardly ever vote for any that run for presidency, but McCain was not a bad guy. He had some good ideas and overall would not have been a horrible president, but Obama will be better. One mor ething that hurt McCain is Palin. She is way to right wing for even the majority of most Republicans.
I agree that many people voted democratic because of Bush. This does not bother me at all, Bush ran this country straight into the ground and I think the fact that registered Republicans voted for a Democrat is amazing! I agree that this election has made history! I am so hopeful for the future!
I believe that Bush did give Republicans a bad name but I agree that Obama will do a good job.
