Well this is a little late in the coming but: I TOLD YOU OBAMA'S WINNING!!
No doubt that guy has been having the popular vote since he beat Hillary clinton in the caucus.. Mind you, I am pretty sure she would have won against the republicans too but more on that later!
So why all the hype on the guy? His election campaign was focussed on CHANGE, something we all felt was needed from George W Bush (Thanks for the nuclear deal but we wont have any effects for the next 20 years atleast). He has some genius working for him- I personally wanna congratulate the person who thought of booking a half hour spot on prime tv networks at primetime..
He had the sympathy factor with him (So would Hillary clinton, she's a gal in case u didnt notice) and he speaks well. I think that is what I fell for- Great oratorial skills and youth gave him the early edge.
Oh and dont forget the republican boo-boo's! John Mccain was seen as too old for galvanising the US of A and then there was Sarah Palin: Governor of Alaska, former beauty queen, mother of 5 and likes to hunt for a pass-time.. Though the last characteristic is contradictory, she presented the typical blonde stereotype of "beauty with no brains".. The internet consumed her alive and she didnt help things by appearing on comedy shows & making a bigger fool of herself which is tough to do!
So in hind-sight we may look at this week as history making for a lot of reasons but as of now, the americans did the right thing: They stood for change and boy was Obama's victory speech something else! That chanting of "Yes, we can!" still rings in my ear.. I really recommend you to see this if you haven't:-

Oh and while you are at it, have a look at http://change.gov/.. How many Presidents do you know who discuss about getting a family dog on the net? Just such gestures make you love the guy..
Can India work itself to do a "Barack"??? YES, WE CAN!
