Move Over Republican We've Got A New Kid On The Block!

Barack Obama has been sworn in as the 44th President of the United States Of America.
He absolutely smashed John McCain in the race to the White House. Beating John McCain 327 Electorate College seats to John McCain's 175. Everybody in the US wanted change. Hope and somebody to get themselves out of the hole that George Bush started to dug. They turned to Barack Obama. Promised to be the next John F Kennedy. But the question is could he be assasinated. I'll answer that question later. So it was Tuesday the 4th of November. Obamavs McCain. This election was litreally going to be decided by the "swing states" (the states that are to hard to say who will win.). Obama winning most of them. John McCain heavily dominated the south and mid-west America. Obama dominating the east states and the west, also winning the "swing states". Obama and McCain voting early trying to avoid the madness and straight away boarded the plane to try and get last minute votes. Either way it went this election would make history. If McCain got elected he would be the oldest president in history and Sarah Palin would be the first Female Vice-President. If Barack Obama won he would be the fist black-american president. The important states in the election were.

California: A state worth 55 electorate seats. The most you can get. This state is vital to any candidate who wants to win the us election.
Florida, Pennysylvania, Virginia and Ohio: True "swing states" together worth 86 electorate seats. "Republican Heartlands" but won by Barack Obama (Democrat). These states can depend on who wins the election.

The US election system is simple and easy to understand and explain. I shall explain. There are things called "College Electoral Votes". Each state gets a number of college seats. It depends on how many people are living in the state (pouplation) . For example California is the most populated state, meaning it gets 55 college seat. Wyoming only has half a million people meaning it only has three seats. The candidate who gets the most votes in that state gets the seats. The first person to get to 270 college seats gets sworn in as the president of the United States of America. Barack Obama scored an ashtonishing 327 seats John McCain only got 175 seats. Meaning Barack Obama has one. This election (campaign) has been overshadowed of the colour of Barack's Skin. I've left some quotes from Martin Luther King. Back to the assasination. Could Barack Obama be assassinated? A famous group of assassind (KKK) have been asked by hundred of hard-core racists to assassinate Barack Obama. But the group said that they will not assassinate Obama. The question is still high over Obama's security. Obama was placed in a Bullet-Proof room when he was ordering his victory speech.
This Election concludes in a stylish fashion Obama at the top. All we just need to do now is to watch and learn!
