With this years presidential election, I think that there were many factors that made its way into the desicion making of the peoples votes. Starting with the youth votes, I think that technology played a major role as to which candidate they would choose. Since the primary sources for the youths entertainment are the internet and tv, I think that when the youth go to the favorite channel or website, there was always some kind of advertisement about the candidates that made them aware of the issues, and probably made them make up their mind on who they want to vote for.
With Barack Obama winning the election, I think that looking at the global perpective, most of the other countries like how he will be the new president of the united states. For example, "Gordon Brown, UK prime minister, hailed Barack Obama’s victory as a moment which would ‘live in history as long as history books are written’, saying he looked forward to working ‘extremely closely’ with the new president." && "Italians of all stripes appeared enthralled by the victory of Barack Obama, and highlighted in their reactions his youth and ‘newness’" && "Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s former president, hailed Barack Obama’s victory and said he trusted that he would make it the mission of his presidency to combat the ‘scourge of poverty and disease everywhere’"
Since the election ended, the Republicans have been getting a bad rep. For example " Republicans will have gone from controlling every arm of government to controlling none." I think that America likes how there will be a democrat in the white house for a change, literally, becuase they want change.
With the political that I followed, they discussed the victory of Barack Obama, and also gave respect to John McCain's concession speech.

I also think that McCain's concession speech was good. Technology did make everything easier for the younger voters. I think that since they had access to a lot of information that they felt like they were a part of something and were more likely to vote once they had a strong stance. I also agree that most of the world accepts Obama as president (except Russia).
