I thought it would be interesting to list the election results in terms of all the states I’ve lived in:
- Georgia (where I was born) – 15 electoral votes – McCain
- New Jersey – 15 – Obama
- South Carolina – 8 – McCain
- California – 55 – Obama
- Colorado – 9 – Obama
- Nebraska – 5 – McCain
- Virginia – 13 – Obama
- North Carolina – 15 – Obama (not yet called, but trending that way)
So that works out to 28 electoral votes for Senator McCain, and 107 for Senator Obama. (Imagine if all those states had gone for the Anti-Candidate; that’s a good chunk of the electorate.)
So, congratulations to Mr. Obama.
And now we get to see how much more interesting the times will get.
