Prior to the landslide win in the electoral college, at apporximately 9 p.m. Mountain Standard Time,with two time zones’ polls still open; Senator John McCain anncounced his concession from the race for president. 

About 20 minutes ago, Senator Barack Obama took the stage with his Wife, and two lovely daughters to address the nation, and accept the position as the president elect.

It is now 10:30 p.m. and the precincts are slowely reporting their tallys, at this time the electoral college is at a landslide 338 to 156 for Obama to be the next president… 

As well, the Democrats have obtained at least nine more seats in the house and senate and are currently in control of both. This indeed has been a history making day, as we will usher in a new era with 2009; and inaugurate the first African-American President of the United States.

Obama wins Ohio….

The projected victory makes it very difficult for Obama’s rival John McCain to win the White House. No Republican has ever become president without winning Ohio. 

As of 8:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time Obama has collected a total of 207 electoral votes, and McCain comes in at 127…. right now we can only sit, listen, and pray that the Lord will bring who he wants (not like he wouldn’t – and already has it ‘planned’…), into the office come January. This is the most history-book-writing election of our time, sure hope you all got out there and did your civic duty ;)
