Sarah Palin - the first female vice-president in U.S. history?
The newly-chosen running mate of Sen. John McCain in the U.S. presidential race is Sarah Palin. She has not been much on the international scene as of late as bloggers all over have recently uploaded slideshows of obviously digitally retouched photos of her.
Going against the Democratic Party juggernaut of Obama-Biden, Sen. John McCain chose a seemingly photogenic running mate, not that she ain’t got good credentials. She has been the first woman governor of the state of Alaska, popular at that, and she has been known to be a Republican with her own mind (does not necessarily ‘toe’ the party line).
The U.S. presidential race just got mighty interesting with an ex-beauty queen, ex-news anchor AND ex-Governor of Alaska as vice-presidential contender in the Republican Party corner.
Let the viral marketing begin…

What an election! and the result has been mind-blowing in its implications not only for the U.S.A. but the whole world as well. Sen. Barack Obama has become the President-elect of the United States of America.
With almost all news outlets covering this epoch-making feat of the next 44th American President, focus has been also seen on those inspired by the sheer determination, courage under fire, and eloquence of this relatively young U.S. presidential candidate to become the first African-American President of the U.S.A. The youth vote definitely helped in his victory, for as pundits have it, his speeches, demeanor, and programs have inspired a largely apathetic 18-35 year-old demographic to come out and vote.
Alas, vote they did: 336 electoral votes for Barack Obama against John McCain’s 163. In the popular votes, that’s 59,380,437 for Obama against 53,443,728 for McCain. (source:CNN); Record-breaking numbers definitely for this 2008 U.S. Election.
His victory is definitely inspiring for us who just don’t dream of change, who don’t just give in to apathy to our world’s and our respective country’s myriad problems, who do their little bit to contribute to the common good.
Yes, We Can Barack…Yes, We Can!
