Results of the Election 2008

I wrote this note last week before knowing about Iowa caucus's result. Today is the day of New Hampshire primary vote. We are looking forward to learn about the results of "Super Tuesday" and so on. It is too soon to even predict who actually will be the parties' candidates. But I like to write down my thought here and see what will happen.

I am not a political analyst or even activist. But for some reason that back to my personal experiences I can see somehow the Nov 5th 2008 headlines (Election Day will be Nov 4th 2008)

Republican candidate John McCain now holds only a slight lead, down from an advantage of almost 5000 votes. Democratic candidate Barack Obama in a statement congratulated the winner of the race. Democratic National Committee Chairman in a separate statement asked all of stakeholders including Supreme Court to think about some modifications in the Electoral College System and asked for a change in this regime.
Last night Hynes Convention Center in Boston was full of thousands of democratic supporters who shouted and sometimes crying in supporting Senator Obama the candidate of change.
