Post Election Comments

I am satisfied with the election and the overall election results. The reason for this is because I am democratic and also he had some very good reasons that I was happy with. Some of those plans are like what he is going to do with the Iraqi soldiers; Carefully removing them.  I am with that comment/ plan.

In my opinion, I would keep the electoral college system.  Also keep the system the way it has been for all the time we have been using it. I think it has great expectations and requirements of the candidates. Although if I could change the system in any way, I would maybe add a bonus of electoral votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote so "We The People" get more of a chance to say who we want for president.

After closely looking at my map of the electoral votes estimation on who's going to win which state, I am noticing that I have been very close in my estimation. I only got 3 out of the 50 states wrong.  Although I am not sure about Missouri for they haven't calculated all the votes in for that state specifically, yet (as far as I know). What basically happened is that Barrack Obama appealed to more people than John McCain did.  Therefore, Barrack Obama "Wins the White House". 

My Gallup poll research influenced my prediction on the popular vote by Barrack receiving 51% of the popular votes and John McCain receiving 48% of the popular votes (and 1% of the votes went to the independence piece of the election).          

Other comments I would like to share are like how I thought that Barrack was ready to be elected whereas John McCain had his turn to run a little while ago. On the other hand, both candidates had well thought out plans, and speeches, and debates. 

Barrack Obama "Barney" Ad

This Ad tells voters that Barney went through some hard times getting his job taken away, although Barrack is getting involved. He is helping retrieve the job and put Barney Smith back into business.

John McCain with Obama "Opposites"

WHY MCCAIN

This clip of the two candidates compares and contrasts them, encouraging voters to choose McCain for "economic growth" and "a stronger America."  It makes Obama look less appealing to voters and McCain look like the candidate who will help "workin' joe's keep" what's theirs, and lower taxes.

Gallup Poll Support By Age

This poll shows the information about how age can effect voters choice. Younger people vote for the democratic party, whereas older people still vote for Obama, but at the age of 65 and above, it is a tie between both democratic and republican parties.

McCain and Palin Website Review

The website of McCain and Palin is not as well organized as Barack Obama's. The first page that showed up (for me), was  automatically playing a video clip in response to Barack Obama's 30 minutes of live air time tonight.  This video clip may change some voter's minds.  It was well placed.  After moving on from that segment of the website into the main or homepage, it becomes too compacted.  The colors and fonts are too varied and difficult to translate.  My eyes had difficulty focusing on one particular area at a time.  Similar to Obama, there was a schedule of events, and some videos; there was also a "photos of the week" section.  This section was not the strongest, or best use of space.

Review On Obama and Biden's Website

The website of Barack Obama and Joe Biden is very easy to navigate.  The primary color is blue, and important details are in red, such as where and how to vote and donate money.  In the center of the page there is a rotating billboard with multiple short video clips.  They were all well organized under specific headings so you knew what you were going to see.  Obama's rally schedule is posted for people so that they can attend.  The website that Obama set up in an easy-to-read fashion, appealing to people, and explains a lot of information.
