From the stories I have been reading about the new Obama administration’s unfortunate encounter with an IT infrastructure littered with Windows PC’s, Barack can still proudly say “I’m a Mac”. Man, what I would do for one of those Pac Man stickers

Here are a few of the things that I think were important for Barack being elected:

1. Got out the youth vote
2. Internet, Internet, Internet
3. People sick of the mud-slinging politics as usual
4. More people being educated about the candidates, and their records
5. Republicans simply didn’t show up – McCain underperformed in many
   republicans strongholds
6. Economy (of course)
7. Polling never reached all the new young voters! (I have been saying
   that one for a while now)

Now, we just need to stay involved in this process – educate ourselves as to how our government really works, and participate!

Many, many thanks to all who participated in this historic election. The world was watching, and we did not disappoint!
