Congratulation Barack Obama !

The United States presidential election of 2008 was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. Democrat Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois, won decisively, beating Republican Party nominee, John McCain, the senior United States Senator from Arizona, based on popular vote results from the states, as well as the projected electoral vote to be cast on December 15.

It was the 56th consecutive quadrennial United States presidential election. The selected electors from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia will vote for president and vice president of the United States on December 15, 2008.

The 2008 election was the first time in U.S. history that an African American was elected president,[1] and the first time a Roman Catholic was elected Vice President.[2] It was also the first time two sitting senators ran against each other. In addition, 2008 was the first election since 1952 that neither the incumbent president nor the incumbent vice president was a candidate in the general election and the first time since the 1928 election that neither sought his party's nomination for president.
