- The cool crowd all liked him and everyone else just followed the trend to the polls
- He won over the public with his amazing speeches about hope
- people were afraid of being called racist
- He looked good
- he had the support of Hollywood
- americans were sick of Bush and the republicans and the war
- Palin dragged McCain into a vortex of political death
All plausible, if not correct, reasons why Obama won the presidential election.
I personally think that most of America was ready for change and fed up the previous adminidstration, and Obama embodied change. He is black, internationally liked, an idealist, anti-war, and a Democrat. All the opposite of Bush.
I personally like Obama not only because he will bring variety to the boring palette of his predecessors, he also beleieves in America and working toward a better future- not just staying in office another term. I cannot say I know this, I just believe that he is going to be thinking about the people, not himself.
