Obama has won and McCain was defeated. The Electoral College says it all: Obama: 349 to McCain: 147. http://news.yahoo.com/election/2008/dashboard

Obama was the destined winner. Now all the issues that I care about will go into the direction that they should be. His acceptance speech was superb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jll5baCAaQU

McCain was not a sore loser though. He honorably admitted defeat and encouraged everyone to support Obama because he is now our president. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF4TxzJ1bGE&feature=related

Now that Obama is president, it marks the destruction of another barrier in the road to complete equality in the world.

The results were amazing:
U.S. President - Electoral College
