US Election

[dalekboy]

These days I'm lucky if I get to skim LJ, and so may have missed other people who have the same concern I do. I think many of my friends want Obama to win, for all sorts of good reasons. Things are looking good, with many big Republicans even publically supporting him.

But while everyone seems to be hoping for an Obama victory, I have yet to hear anyone express the niggling fear I've had since day one - the bastards stole one election and got clean away with it, who is to say they won't do it again?

Yep, can confirm that Obama won with 338 electoral college votes compared to McCain's 160.
270 electoral college votes needed to gain the presidency.

I'm a bit stunned. (in a good way)

yay, the republicans got buried by the landslide. Obama is impressive. I have seen several great speeches and his health care plan actually seems to add up.
