New President

If by some minute chance you haven't heard, Barack Obama is our new President-Elect. He won around 11 pm on November 4, before some of the polls even closed. The electoral college won the presidency for him. Obama won by 364 to 162, a very large margin of victory. This electoral college victory came as no suprise to me, because he was heavily favored in the polls. The surprise to me was the popular vote. In my biased opinion i thought he would win by 10 to 12%. He did win 52.6% to 46.1%, a 6.5% margin. 52.6% is still a number that democrats have failed to come to in a long time. His victory was complete, making him the new POTUS.
