In anticipation of a new President, the DOW is having an up day. At one point on this election day in the United States, the stock market was up 300 points. It is 3:00 p.m. EST, and the DOW is up 177 points. The new President should have a much more positive approval rating, than the current President, be it Senator Barack Obama or Senator John McCain.
Tonight, if there is a call, to announce who the next president will be, either McCain or Obama, will be celebrating his win. Obama will be at Grant Park in Chicago, expectations are that it is possible that one million people will be there. Mr. McCain will be celebrating in Arizona at a hall, should he win. Whoever does not win, will have a thank you party and a concession to the winner.
On Sunday evening, of this week, Senator Obama's grandmother passed away, after battling cancer. He had gone to Hawaii, a short while ago to see his grandmother, one last time as she was gravely ill. She told him to "go and do what you have to do". And so he has, he spoke about his grandmother at one of his rallies, saying that she was not well know, or famous, but she was an ordinary hero, as many in his audience were, someone who had worked hard and did the right thing. He was not ashamed to cry as he spoke.
This election day in the United States, there have been people, standing in line, for five and six hours, in order to cast their vote. This is a historical election, people are excited to vote to change the country for the better. There have been thousands of
new people registered to vote. Those who follow trends in elections, have looked at what is going on this time, and there are those who are seeing a realignment in the states, whether, it is a one time change, or a lasting event, we will have to wait to see. But the typical red states are turning towards blue. This has been the call by Senator Obama, since he spoke at the Democratic convention, when Senator John Kerry was running for president. When Obama said during his speech, that there were no red states, and no blue states, there was only the United States of America. This election will be history making whoever wins, because there will be the first African-American male, elected President or the first female elected as Vice-President of the United States. Everyone in the U.S., should go out and vote, so that they will be able to say in the future, that they were a part of history.
