Huzzah! After nearly two years of campaigning, Obama will be the next president!In Biology yesterday we had the election coverage on, and I kept watch of it after school as well. In the middle of our movie, we switched to NBC News to the sound of loud cheering and the headline BARACK OBAMA ELECTED PRESIDENT. After the news was announced, McCain did a speech (▶) recognizing Obama's victory that I thought was very gracious despite the booing from his audience every time he mentioned his rival's name. Following was Obama's acceptance speech (▶). The final electoral votes were Obama 349 and McCain 147.
