Historic day for America - Obama wins

It is quite exciting to witness this historic day for America - Obama has won! Opinion polls had indicated that Obama was in the lead. However nobody had written off McCain, until at around 8:30 pm PST, he conceded defeat in front of his supporters in Arizona, Biltmore, and congrulated Obama, now the President Elect of the USA. It was a very interesting campaign. First Obama-Hillary fight and then the Obama-McCain dual - both very interesting.

I had watched all the 3 debates between Obama and McCain, and Obama had impressed me with his views and thoughts. His views are extremely rational and progressive. To top it, he is an extraordinary orator. His victory speech should have been very inspiring to Americans.

Tonight, however, I was also impressed by the speech that McCain made. The graciously manner in which he accepted defeat was exemplary.

Day after so-called "Super Tuesday"

I hope he wins Democratic party nomination for presidential election in US. Why we do I support Obama? There are two reasons that come to my mind immediately - one, due to his multi-cultural background, he is more likely to be sensitive to the opinions of the rest of the world (something that most of the US don't even know exists), and two, he is not a spouse of an ex-President. It would ludicrous if Bush dynasty is voted out only to be replaced by Clinton dynasty.
