Jewish vote: Obama 77-22

The first exit poll on the Jewish vote is out, and it has Barack Obama bettering John Kerry's Jewish vote total from four years ago.

The preliminary poll, which could be updated tomorrow, has Obama receiving 77 percent of the Jewish vote, to just 22 percent for John McCain. (An earlier version of the poll had Obama winning by a 78-21 margin.) Kerry garnered 74 percent of the Jewish vote in 2004, and Al Gore won 79 percent of the Jewish vote (with a Jewish running mate) eight years ago. The Jewish vote was 2 percent of the poll sample.

If anyone is wondering how the Jews voted.

OBAMA!!!!!!!! Well, I still would've liked Clinton to be in his place, but I'm just glad it's not McCain. Thinking about it, I don't really think I had anything against McCain, just more the crowd he was hanging out with, especially Palin. I'm hopeful that he'll do well though, and I do have to admit there probably was too much baggage with Clinton's husband.

I'm just worried though that if he does fix up this fiasco in 4 or 8 years' time, will people forget and vote Republican again? Then it'll be another Democrat who has to clean up after them. There seems to be a disturbing trend of Democrat cleaning up after Repulican e.g. Clinton after Bush snr, Obama after Bush jnr, Roosevelt after Hoover. I'm also hopeful of a mixed administration, a more bipartisan role. Now all Bush has to do is lie low until Jan 20th.

Well, the race is over. What are your predictions, hopes about the four years which lie ahead?
Much spiritual healing, anal/rectal repair, and lovin'.
What does this Obama victory mean for the wider global community and for America?
That ... there'll be less world-policing, hopefully?
What tests will Obama have as President and what chance is there that Republicans will win the 2012 elections?
Nawt fuck up the economy and American society?
And anything else you wish to add.
Titties.
It's been a long two year race. It's finally over, I feel sorry for McCain. Let's hope that Obama lives up to expectations.
Yes.
Yum!

I happen to be doing a google search and stumbled onto a thread in this forum, anyhow I just wanted to express my surprise how much the US presidential elections have become so important to the youth of Australia.

Being a 6th generation American living in California, all I can say is that I have never seen the amount of excitment these past few days have experieneced. I voted for Barack on Tuesday and accross the street from the polling station, there was a huge crowd of young Obama supports hollering on the curb, people honking horns and showing support. The moment Obama was pronounced Pres, it was something unforgettable, me and two friends went driving down Hollywood Blvd here in west LA and it was insane. People were shouting and extremely excited. This has just as much as we have been wanting change from the current administration as much as Barack is a charismatic, young and most importantly he is a minority - in this case African American. Someone mentioned that he is half black but that is a mute point, the fact is most African Americans are not full black to begin with, there has been generations of admixture in this nation and we will be getting our first First Lady who is a direct decendant of slaves, these developments are historic and set huge precedent for our people as a whole and toward reconciliation of our great nation. But given our civil war, discrimination and subsequent civil rights movement in the 60's, it was a spectacular turn of evens on Nov 4th. People were very emotional, here on US television for example, several news casters had noticeable tears in their eyes the moment they announced the victory. Katie Couric on NBC and John Gibson on ABC are to name a few.

Anyhow, this means a great deal to America. And on Nov 4th, we truley were the the greatest nation on earth. I'm glad our selection of president is being seen as a step foward in breaking the racial barrier in this nation for good while making an impact in other places for example in your nation.

I'm pleaseantly surprised you guys' are so interested in our historic election.

My question is why it surprised you that there were so many Obama supporters where you live. You said you were in California. That's like living in Texas and being surprised to see a redneck.
