As usual, American politics is not without its surprises.
So far, around 9pm, figures are indicating that race is not a factor. I thought (as many did too) it would be.
I have to question the decision by voters in Minnesota to elect Al Franken.
Overall it looks like McCain was a victim of the Bush administration's unpopularity. Of course, I'm deliberately making a simplistic statement but there's something to be said of voters who simply wanted to boot the GOP out.
For his part, Obama is the right man at the right time regardless of his experience. He did what he had to do and so far things look good for him.
There'll be plenty of time to rationalize this properly but for now this is a trend spotted.
Fascinating indeed.
