...so I was right about Obama's win but I was also wrong about the vote margin between the two candidates. In percentage, it is just 5% points but in electoral votes, the gap is about 175 (338 to 163). I would never expect more than 300 electoral votes to Obama. To most Blacks in the US, this is indeed a historic moment, who would have thought the day would come within their life time( Dr. King would have been very pleased). Maybe the US is more ready to have a Black President than I realised. There are people who still couldn't accept a Black President and I hope nothing like the JFK assassination would happen again. The message from most voters is clear - they want "change".
After the presidential honeymoon, there will be mountains of works piling up on Obama's desk. I wish him the best.
