presidential election

Pennsylvania has been a traditional stronghold of the Democrats  In the presidential election polls of 2008, this has been proved again.  There has been no change whatsoever in the minds of the voters about whom to be selected but Obama’s offer to ‘change’ has stuck with them.  Pennsylvania election results have given Mr Barack Obama 21 electoral votes in his race for presidency.

With a registered voter population of 8.73 million, from the outset Pennsylvania was predicted to favor Senator Obama heavily.  Barack Obama started his campaign with a head start of anything between 4 to 14 over his rival Senator John McCain.  Anyway, eventually, Pennsylvania election results showed that Obama was triumphant over McCain in the presidential elections of 2008.

Even though Mr McCain anticipated sturdy  backing from Northeastern Pennsylvania, Mr Obama upstaged him and secured support from those areas.  Mr Obama was able to get these votes even though Mr McCain made a last ditch struggle at the fag end of his campaigning.  Nevertheless, Pennsylvania election results showed that Mr McCain was ahead in Northern Pennsylvania.

It is evident that the contenders had split the votes of whites between them.  But, as regards the votes of the blacks and Hispanics, the story differs  Soon after the Pennsylvania election results were out, the interviews conducted revealed that blacks and Hispanics were tremendously supported Senator Obama.  The very reason of Barack Obama being an African American vouches for the fact that blacks and Hispanics wanted to see a black American as the next president.

The population of multiracial Pennsylvania went gaga over the victory of Barack Obama as the Democratic presidential candidate defeating republican John McCain.  People converged on the city Hall following the declaration of Mr Obama’s victory according to the Pennsylvania election results.  They were from all ages, all walks of life, and had come from all directions in their numbers to celebrate the victory of their president, cheering and dancing in spite of a light rain.
