The campaign was historic...
...in several ways.**********
Not only did it result in the election of a black president in a country that has a history of slavery and segregation; it also resulted in the election of the second Catholic on a major-party ticket in Vice President-elect Joe Biden of Delaware.
Further, the campaign featured the first woman vice presidential candidate for the GOP in Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
And the initial analysis of exit polls indicated that young people, African-Americans, and new voters turned out in huge numbers.

Much of the Arab press, as well as ordinary people in the street, are rejoicing over the election of Democrat Barak Obama as the next president of the United States.*
Commentators on Al-Jazeera TV, which has consistently criticized the outgoing Bush administration for its policies towards the Arab world, appeared almost jubilant over Mr. Obama's election, with many hailing the results of the election as a "positive for the Arab world."

Congratulation to Sarah Palin on being the 1st woman on a presidential ticket! She is a remarkable lady. My condolences to the conservatives in the USA that their 1st black president is a supporter of terrorist, criminals and crooked associations such as Acorn etc. To the leftists that elected him you got exactly what you deserve live with it in misery. There are many other black politicians that were ignored that are actually qualified and could do the job.
Perhaps all the whining from Jesse and Al will stop now. As well as an end to affirmative action,EOE, and white guilt.

"scalawag says... all the whining from Jesse and Al"
you'd think this might get all the professional race-baiters to turn the volume down a little... but we're just so used to giving these squeaky wheels a complete and unapologetic pass.
